what we're starting to see now especially from the food trucks appears to be a kind of ''gourmet taco'' aimed at a more affluent white market . The tacos That are available in the taquerias of the Mexican neighbourhoods in houston tend to be be a lot mre basic and cost about $1.25 rather than $2.50- $3.00. I would agree that enchilladas should only be made with corn tortillas though i see many UK type {Tex}-Mexican restaurants using flour. Cool Chile company in London sell some pretty good fresh corn tortillas if you're in the area but stay well clear of the El Paso variety in the supermarkets. I always have in stock the regular corn tortillas that need dredging through oil before use as tacos but work well for flautas, taquitos and fresh fried nachos. Another pet hate of mine is the nachos with melted cheese on top...what an ugly mess. Corn chips should never come from a packet. Always be frshly fried and seved with chilli con queso and salsa on the side! Rant over.
