Meat first or other toppings..?


Just wondering… does the meat/filling go on top or at the bottom? I actually debate this every time I’m stacking a taco so pros and cons please!🙏

    Carne first so you tortilla doesn’t get all cold and disgusting

    I go meat first then cheese (if I’m
    Using it) then everything else.

    I want the toppings to stay crisp and I like the drippings on tortilla.

  3. It’s called topping because it goes on top

    Meat then toppings. Sometimes I like to chop the meat, and in a bowl mix it with some salsa lime juice, and pico. Then scoop it on to a tortilla. It’s more work , and probably not necessary but I like everything combined.

    Salsa
    Cilantro
    Onion
    Hot meat/guisado
    Hot tortilla(s)

    Romanians have a saying ‘îmi plouă-n gura’ which basically means it rains in my mouth and is synonymous with I’m craving this right now. Okay, tacos night it is then

    Me quería enojar con estos tacos pero ya vi que nomás es cebolla morada y no tienen nada de malo. La carne va siempre abajo y la verdura encima, la salsa la puedes poner antes o después de la verdura pero el limón siempre es hasta al final antes de la sal

    How is this up for debate? They are called TOPpings for a reason 😂

  9. Meat first and you add the sauces, onion, etc. just before you eat them! Each individually! Lime and salt too.

    I like to do meat first, toppings on top. My favorite toppings are cilantro and onion, and I really prefer cilantro to be as cold and fresh as possible. I feel like meat over cilantro would make it warm and soggy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I just really prefer cool and crisp cilantro!

  11. Meat first because if anything falls out the veggies go first 🙂

    What is the Spanish/Mexican Spanish word for toppings?

    Let me know because I’ve never heard of it …

    I have heard of Asientos which is what you coat the tortilla with before the meat… like refried beans, guacamole, chile/salsa….

    I put the meat first. Tradition.

    The conventional way is meat first, but I do prefer “toppings” first then meat. This way the toppings don’t fall out every time you pick the taco up.

    Looks great, bet it tastes even better!! Great job!!

    Meat first then toppings/garnish. I also recommend a little bit of oil when warming up your tortillas

    Tortilla
    Carne
    Guacamole so the other toppings stick to it
    Onion
    Salsa
    Lime
    Enjoy ☺️

    The steak looks great and this is totally preference, but most of the asada tacos I eat have smaller cut dice on the meat. To me this is the way. I’ll explain, smaller dice on meat, onions, cilantro….that increases the surface area of each ingredient and increases flavor with literally more particles-of-deliciousness (scientific term). Now I’m not talking minced, that’s too much bc texture is still important. Also this increases surface area for the salsa to disperse. Tortillas need direct heat to cook properly, the curled up one in the picture is from being dried out in the oven possibly, happens to tortillas left out on the counter uncooked too. Last point I’ll make, dice on the meat should be about ½ inch(~1cm) or maybe slightly less. Onion (white onion, not yellow onion) should be ideally ¼ inch dice. Cilantro about the same as the onion but that hard to do uniformly, so just make sure no big leaves, and use the stems as well, cut off only the very ½in end of the stem.
