I cooked Hard Shell Tacos 7 times.

Hard Shell Tacos (Dinner)

I added onions garlic and the rest to start. The meat didn't crisp up like last time - maybe I drained too much fat? And I didn't add enough of the spice either.

Another thought- I was watching How to make the Perfect Burger at home, according to science, and I wonder if the beef I used had less fat than the last time. Maybe next time try 70/30 beef.

I let the beef cook a bit longer and it actually get crisp, this was way better. Taco meat in the pan, tortillas warming in the background

Hard Shell Tacos (Dinner)

With The usual- iceberg lettuce, tomato, cheese

Somewhere (maybe here) I read about keeping the taco shells stacked so they wouldn't close. It's true, but it also makes then disappointingly not crunchy. It was closer to the Taco Bell experience, though.
