    This delicious pork taco recipe is brought to you by the sticky, albeit talented, tiny little fingers of my 7 and 8 year old culinary students. They also only used homemade salsas and guacamole! One tip tho? IMHO? A good squeeze of lime on each taco really does make this dish! Excellent ideas and work kiddos! So juicy!

    I can't believe I'm posting a recipe for hard and soft shell tacos. After all, who doesn't know how to make an easy assed taco nowadays?Well, those NOT in the know would be my tiny, sweet six year old culinary students. That's who! [i swear, they're so stinkin' cute!] Seriously, they're so tiny, I literally have to lift them from the floor up for them to take their culinary directional photos for you every time. 😆Anyway, my youngest students, Joseph, Kyle and Daffiny needed to post this recipe for their culinary web portfolios. So, thanks for your patience with this crazy easy taco recipe fellow Cookpad Cooks!Excellent work kiddos! Chilly, meaty, juicy and seriously spicy all at the same time! Your tacos were beyond fresh, crispy, chilly and delicious! I'm so proud of you all! What a fantastic, fresh and crispy lunch this was for all of us today! Zero regrets!

    This dish is traditionally made with dried then, rehydrated thin beef or pork strips. But, this method listed works just as well. After all, how many of us have dried meat hanging around our houses? Seriously? If you do, you probably need to call somebody huh?Anyway, this is such an easy, deliciously juicy dish to prepare. Know it's so easy, 7 year olds made it while they played tag with each other in my backyard this afternoon. Just set it and forget it!It's perfect for flautas, hard or soft tacos, burritos, sopes, enchiladas, taquitos or even chimichangas. It's also great for breakfast with eggs. AKA, "Machaca con Huevo."Most Mexicans don't believe any condiments or sides are necessary for this dish other than warmed flour tortillas. But, we're Americans and we do dig our sides, dips and options! Don't we?!

    Shrimp Tacos are a 15 minute or less complete meal. You got your protein, veggies, dairy, and carbs. Plus your kids will eat their veggies without all the groaning and moaning :)
