    Are you still able to eat junk food? I get the shakes when I eat take out and fast food. It’s weird. It’s all of that crap hitting my bloodstream at once. I literally struggle to hold my fork.

    Structurally and logistically there is no way that a shell transports pizza better than crust. Not to fault the 'tilla, just a different instrument for a different song

      Tbh, hard-shell tortillas don’t even transport tacos that well. I love 'em, especially coated in Dorito dust, but it’s a flawed system for sure.

        No no. Box crispy shells suck. Real corn tortillas cooked in oil until crispy enough to hold a V shape but just soft enough to really envelope the filling. Holy crap that’s delicious! Dude, I’m making tacos tomorrow!

          Yeah I was talking about the box shells, I didn’t realize that’s not what is in the picture. Oops!

        Well, those weird crunchy taco shells make no sense. They’re a weird American thing, and I don’t understand how they became popular. I like some crunch with my food too, but not a shell that just shatters when it’s meant to contain the food.

        A tortilla fried in a pan becomes somewhat crispy though, and it tastes better and holds together better. That’s what this picture looks like. It should be fine.

      I’m not so sure. The best way to eat a pizza is to fold it, because that gives it more rigidity. You essentially turn it into a taco, but the shell has a slightly different texture. I have no idea why a tortilla wouldn’t hold up in this situation.

  • I recently heard about and tried pizza beans. Just some kind of white bean (any white beans) cooked, and then you cover them in pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni and broil it until the cheese is melted and caramelized a bit.

    Sounded weird as hell, and I thought the texture would be horrible but the beans actually just kinda gave the same texture you get with pizza dough. Not as crispy, obviously, but like a Detroit style crust.

    I might do these tacos but I wouldn’t use the hamburger. Personally, I don’t like how ground beef goes with the other pizza ingredients (i don’t like burger on an actual pizza either)… But maybe refried beans would be great.

      Yes! Most junk food is only junk because it’s made as cheaply as possible with shitty ingredients. McDonald’s gives you the shits because it’s McDonald’s, not because it’s burgers and fries. Those pizzacos look potentially delicious IF you make them yourself.

        Besides McDonald’s using shit ingredients, I disagree with your entire statement. Junk food is food that lacks nutritional value and is high in calories; making nachos at home doesn’t make them clean food. If you make pizza tacos at home, they’ll still be junk food too.

        It’s ok to have some junk food sometimes, but if pizza tacos are a daily thing for someone I’m gonna assume they’re from a poop knife kinda family.

    I don’t see a way to make this that doesn’t turn the flour tortilla into a husk. You’d be better off with corn, but then the shell would get soggy before the pepperoni crisped.

    The tacos will inevitably break too much after a few bites and everthing will start spilling on you, and it’s your fucking faulr for doing that.

      This is why I always go for a soft taco instead. Hard tacos want to be salad and will detonate into corn-chip shrapnel the instant you take that first bite, unmercifully dumping its contents onto the table and your lap in the process. I can’t imagine eating one mess-free, unless equipped with a jaw that unhinges and a supernaturally flexible neck.

    … They look very easy to make at home. Just get leftover minced meat from your spaghetti, melt some mozzarella and pepperoni on top, olives, some pesto, all on a hardshell taco. Maybe even bake the taco shell with some cheese to make extra crust.
