| If you attended a taco bar party, but only soft shell tortillas (flour & corn) were available, would you be disappointed? Would you miss crunchy taco shells? Would it help if there were crunchy tortilla chips? |

| I would rename it Tortilla party so people know what to expect. Yes, I’d be disappointed in a taco party with no tacos. |

Huh? You know that a crunchy shell isn’t what makes a taco a taco, right? |

| I could get hard shell tacos, but then how to keep them warm? Do people eat them cold?? |

WTH! No. I order tacos out all the time and never once have they been in hard shell. It’s fine to say it’s a taco bar. Chips and guacamole and salsa on the side. |

| Okay, OP here - I feel better! My own family only likes soft (corn & flour) tortillas, so I wasn't sure. I have crunchy chips just in case. I have all the toppings...hopefully everyone will be happy. |

OP here - cute video!  I'm making my own carnitas and taco blend, but I'm still, yes, having a white person taco (tortilla?) night.

| No, never. I think the crunchy shells are weird and would enjoy the soft (ideally corn) tortillas. |

This has to be a joke... |

Fried shells for home taco night are the only acceptable crunchy tacos. These are too labor intensive for a taco bar. You need to make sure your corn tortillas are super fresh from a Mexican market or tortilleria or they will be dry and crack easily. Heat them in a dry skillet and wrap in foil to keep warm. You can also microwave with a damp paper towel or put them in a slow cooker to keep warm. Good tortilla chips and salsa are always a hit. Consider roasted seasoned potatoes with onions as a filling option. |

You don't need hard shells. They're garbage. |
