I'm going to the store to pick up taco bar supplies.  I will also be checking out exactly which jello shot recipes I will be using for Saturday.  /blogpost

I don't believe I have olives on the menu, no, @kiraliz2. 

CinemaGoddess

You need olives for tacos, 

Also, salsa verde.  

CinemaGoddess

Olives are delicious.  

CinemaGoddess

Sliced black olives on tacos are perfect.  

CinemaGoddess

Almost as perfect as whole black olives stuck on your fingers.  

SpaceGirlSpiff

Olives on tacos?....the hell?...

CinemaGoddess

Olives belong on tacos and in martinis. 

It is known.  

CinemaGoddess

What do you people put on tacos, then?

Here we put tomatoes, cheese, green onion, regular onion, and olives. 

SpaceGirlSpiff

Maybe I'm biased because I dislike olives, but then again I grew up practically on the border of Mexico and I've never seen no dang-dern olive on a taco before.

To each their own I guess though

CinemaGoddess

So you eat your tacos with radishes and limes?

CinemaGoddess

Don't tell me you guys don't put olives on your nachos.  

SpaceGirlSpiff

Lettuce, salsa, cheese, meat, sour cream maybe... onions and tomatoes I guess if you're into those (I'm not personally)...jalepenos...cilantro, etc

Olives = No

What do you mean "you people"?

I mean you people who don't put olives on your tacos. 

As opposed to you lions who don't put olives on your tacos.  

SpaceGirlSpiff

I dont put olives on anything, BUT... I can say I HAVE seen them placed upon nachos before.  I will give in to that I guess.

But not tacos.  Tacos =/= nachos ((even though many same ingredients...bahaha)

CinemaGoddess

Nachos are deconstructed tacos.  

EMOmamma

We only do green pepper, onion, corn, cheese, cilantro, maybe sour cream and/or avocado or pico.

Eta we also do soft corn shells

CinemaGoddess

OK.

Emo puts corn on her tacos.

Is this more or less acceptable than olives on tacos?

EMOmamma

We make rally rally good tacos.

SpaceGirlSpiff

Eh, not feeling the corn either but... hey, Chipotle has corn salsa and they're totally legit authentic

You dont see no olives in their line up DO YOU

Olives are delish. But not on tacos. The flavors just don't jive.

Really all you need for a good taco is seasoned grilled meat and Onion, Cilantro and lime juice. Salsa is almost always good too.

That said, I love cheese on everything. And I will stick everything in a burrito that isn't olives or refried beans. Oh, and sour cream is nasty, which kills most of my street cred.

CinemaGoddess

You people are weird.

Yes.. .my favorite tacos are street tacos like this.....with the little soft corn tortillas.  Except I take out the onion.... I'm sure that makes me boring, but ick.  Cilantro, lime, good seasoned meat and a dabble of hot salsa = yum.  Simple.

And how DARE you.

CinemaGoddess

Sour cream is nasty unless it's mixed in something, like beef stroganoff.  

SpaceGirlSpiff

You sour cream haters are the wrong ones.

@Mabelshesthebomb, I was just telling CG that my vagina is not nearly as dainty as I had thought. Big Black FTW!

Taco soul mates.

Border states FTW!

virgin4lyfe

Is it @HilarityEnsued that said she would like to down an entire tub of Daisy's sour cream?

SandyClam

I love tacos, just not pink ones.

YESSSS to this. With some salsa (the smoother non chunky kind that's nice and hot)

There's salsa verde there, it's just hiding in the green of the cilantro. They come from a cart and the tortillas are made fresh right there. Amazing.

@missyishere you need sliced black olives. My older ds was seriously disappointed last week in my tacos because I forgot the olives.

For the cheap seats.

First of all, we're talking about a taco bar at Missy's house, not a food truck in southern California. 

I think the main take-away of this thread that all 'taco's' (whatever their nationality) are created equal and delicious. 

I love jell-o shots and just realized I have vodka, jell-o, and little cups...hmm....

EMOmamma

See, ours are like the street tacos only plus corn. Srsly try adding corn next time, it's good.

EMOmamma

Now @CinemaGoddess is pushing olive propaganda

No.
