My kids really enjoyed these fun, easy tacos. I was out of green onions, so sub'd chopped white onion and added a couple of garlic cloves to the meat. The sauce was tangy. I still prefer regular tacos, but this is good when you want something different and definitely a kid-pleaser. Thanks for posting.

I made these for my husband tonight. He enjoyed them, but he tried hard shells & then soft ones-preferred the soft tortillas. I didn't use any liquid smoke & used onion powder for the onions. He added some pickles, too, and used reduced fat mexican cheese. I used lean ground turkey & turkey bacon to cut down on fat & calories. Thank you for sharing!
