Small corn tortillas, as fresh as you can get them, heated on a hot grill for a few seconds on each side then filled (but not overfilled) and eaten asap - that's how we do them in these parts! None of those TexMex/Taco Bell stale fried "shells" that break up and get the innards all over the place when you bite into them. And none of those flour excuses either (well, maybe for fish tacos) - save those for burritos and those so-called wraps.
