    Nicely done!  Cojita cheese is my favorite cheese for almost any taco.

    Are the tortillas homemade?  I would swear they look like flour tortillas.  I love corn tortillas, but rest of fam likes flour.  With those, I might trick them into eating corn.

    I could get behind a plate of those for dinner tonight. All I have planned at the moment are Sloppy Joe's...
    Coleman, Texas
    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    Corn tortillas are my fav.  They're more authentic, healthier and have more flavor.

    There's a time and place for flour and that's limited to quesadillas and burritos, IMHO.

    Looks great, Scott!

    @Ozzie_Isaac @nolaegghead these I get at a local Tortilla factory. Fresh made daily. I found a trick. Add some oil to some water. Dip them in that before you throw them on a hot cast-iron. It's by far the best way I've found. Really makes corn tortillas even better. @SciAggie sloppy joes we get a hankering for sloppy joes around here sometimes too.

    Damn, those look great.  Question: How did you prep the tortillas?
