What makes a great taco stand apart from the rest?

I've been waiting my whole life for this question!
!
Great tacos are bad for you, that's why they're so good!! A great taco should contain shredded beef which is lightly seasoned and not too greasy or wet. You can use ground beef in an emergency. Chicken ought not to be used in tacos....everybody knows that! Next, you need a GOOD QUALITY corn tortilla. Put the meat in the tortilla and pan fry it in about 1/2 inch of peanut oil (it withstands high temperatures better). The taco needs to be flipped onto the other side after about 1 minute or until it is golden brown and crunchy (but not brittle) on both sides.

Next, add your favorite hot sauce or salsa; slather it right over the meat. Next comes the cheese and onions (don't talk to me if you're not putting onions on your taco). Then comes the shredded lettuce. Yes! It MUST be shredded! Here's an important note: DO NOT ADD TOMATOES!!! They're already in the salsa, silly! Finally, a good layer of sour cream and a quick sprinkle of salt and you're ready to enjoy a great taco! Be sure to wash it down with a good margarita! Use only PATRON tequila, of course!

has to have beans, guaccomole & lots of salsa!

The meat seasoning in the packs, and guacamole

add bacon yummy

rice and cheese and tomatoes and hot sauce


mmm thats the best

For me it's got to be a crisp shell and don't forget the sour cream!

Add some good jalapenos. That will do the trick.

It's all about the ingredients. All meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomato are NOT created equal. Also, don't skimp on the toppings!

any time a food seems basic enough that you ask a question like this, the answer is probably the quality of the ingredients, or ingredients you hadn't thought of (like the seasoning someone else mentioned). make it fresh, with good ingredients to start, and do the little things like adding seasonings to the meat or onions as their being cooked, toasting the shell... ect. and it'll be better then most.

I love it with rice def! Anyone heard of taco rice?

the sour cream, the salsa, basically a good topping.
sometimes homeade ones are the best with a yummy seasoning when cooking the meat.

Cucumber! Avocado! Sour CREAM!

corn tortillas (fresh/ soft), grilled meat that is seasoned well, cilantro, onions, salsa Verde, slices of avocado.

Now I want a taco. Maybe for lunch tomorrow.

Fresh made ingredients to your likes and specifications served in a nice style.

real tacos dont have lettus and tomatoes you take fresh tortillas grilled or fried meat or chicken onions cillantro and a few drops of lime sprinkle of salt

a great taco has very fresh, homemade fillings, and heaps of flavour in the meat! Must be served hot!!

Make your own taco seasoning, rather than using a packet, use Mexican cheese, use chunky salsa or pico de gallo instead of tomatoes, and squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice on it. YUM!
