    Not me Baboon! You were the one that told me what tripas were! And believe it or not, I do like menudo!
    On another forum there was a Taco Bell manager and he would never say what the filling was made of, but I seem to remember him saying they used an electric drill motor & paint stirrer when making batches up. Having been in a commercial kitchen I have seen Robo Coupes Stick Blenders, but never a drill & part stirrer!

    The meat is pretty much blended for sure. I hope it stays a secret. If I even knew what the meat was made of, I might never eat there again!

    I have not ate anything from Taco Bell in 40 years. Few places in America there ain’t a Mexican making real tacos that aren’t better & cheaper.
    I spent $7 there one night in Orange, TX in 2000. Kept me busy for a week. Just recently we bought a little takeout from the one in our neighborhood and no problems. I mostly stick with nachos away from home.

    I love good authentic tacos, but sadly Taco Bell tacos are one of my guilty pleasures in life!
    Dude I can teach you cheap easy tacos from left over off you pit! We seldom eat ground meat tacos with packet seasoning for the salt content! It's like I like a chili dog every once in a while. Canned chili & hot dogs jack me up for the salt. If I use my own chili no problems.

    I love a real Nacho Supremo with chorizo, cheese, sour cream & fresh pico de gallo!

    I snack on nachos all the time. Very simple with refried beans, shredded cheese and jalapenos.

    I usually make ours from lean ground beef and make my own seasoning for them. Very seldom using the seasoning from a package. We do use the taco seasoning packages for taco soup though. But, I also make chicken, pork and steak tacos occasionally as well.

    I don't do chorizo. Actually I have never tasted it but I remember a story about a guy camping on Padre Island and coyotes got into his food while he was fishing. He said they ate or took everything but the chorizo. Said it looked like they had chewed it and spit it out. i decided if coyotes wouldn't eat it neither would i. Daughter eats it and calls it good. So......

    cygunner,

    I feel the same about chorizo as I do about menudo. = There are just TWO sorts: GREAT & JUST TERRIBLE.

    There are also spices like cumin, salt pepper & veggies like onions, jalapeños & cilantro and just enough fruit flavor from a lime or 2.

    baboon,

    I do NOT use NOR happily EAT the stuff that's "pre-packaged". = Making my own "spice mix"/flavorings from fresh ingredients is just TOO EASY.
    (Then I know what is IN it.)

    I do sometimes buy FRESH-MADE salsa from the same Mexican woman & her daughter that I buy my FAVORITE tamales (and when she has it, menudo, too) from.

    yours, satx

    Chorizo is simply a very spicy sausage, usually made from pork, but can be made from other meats as well. Typically pork is the first choice most people use to make chorizo. Very similar to a spicy regular pork sausage, but with a little more heat to it.

    One of my favorites for an egg and cheese breakfast burrito.

    There is Spanish chorizo & Mexican chorizo. The mexican can be pork meat but is mostly fat & or thymus glands (Sweetbreads). Not unlike boudin being mostly pork liver .vs pork meat. I made plenty of both while at work. As far as a coyote not eating it, Mexican chorizo has vinegar in it recipe.

    I'm fine with chorizo & potato tacos. What's left over gets the eggs.

    baboon,

    REAL/GOOD boudin is MOSTLY ground pork scraps, "leftover" cooked rice, spices & a LITTLE bit of pork liver.= I used to live in south LA & therefore KNOW what boudin is SUPPOSED to be.
    (The BEST, imVho, is made by F&F FOODS from near Bloody Bayou, LA. = I could LIVE ON their sausages, crackers & DIXIE beer.)
