Do you pre-cheese your tacos?

by **tGreenWay** 2019-02-02, 12:45

Best way to build a taco is not with the meat first, but a layer of cheese on the taco, butted up against the shell, and then the meat. Gets the cheese all melty delicious, then construct the rest of your taco.
If you really want to go crazy, add a second layer of cheese to the top of the meat, thought it won’t melt as much once you add the vegetables or whatever you put on it.
The answer, my friend, is pre-cheese.

This sounds like sage advice, my friend. My taco construction will be forever changed!

I thought you said you are especially troubled by cases of animal cruelty?

I sprinkle the queso on at the end.

I find the secret to a killer taco is how you heat up the tortillas.

Not on board with this Greenway. I'm usually all about melting the cheese, but not on tacos. I like the combination of cheese and lettuce, with both being cold, contrasting the warmth of the meat.

This is eye opening. By the way, i Jus saw a thing that said if you eat your hamberdler by turning it upside down you lose less stuff out of the side.

Try cilantro instead of lettuce next time.

tGreenway's wife is always complaining about him pre-cheesing, too.

Wife insists it goes meat then cheese to melt the cheese. I'm a meat, lettuce, then cheese person, just like Tacobell.

Funny timing on this thread. Thursday night the wife made venison tacos!

Not instead of, but with. Cilantro rocks.

Yep, I’ve done this as well and I love it. Tacos are so friggin good. In college I was a burrito guy, but I don’t get burritos anymore. Maybe an enchilada here or there but mostly tacos.

Makes sense. The weight of the burger would trap the toppings and condiments against the bun. Good idea.

Here’s more pre-cheese advice: Before adding the spaghetti sauce to your pasta, add your favorite cheese first. Same idea. Add more on top, too.

That was freaky. Not too far from where me and tGreenWay live.

That poor guy’s last name sounds very familiar, but I can’t place it.

Depends on the taco. I've found that with steak tacos, cilantro and some chopped onion is the way to go. However, on ground beef tacos, lettuce and cheese are a better fit.

Bump. A few of you will be enjoying Taco Tuesday this evening. This is just a friendly reminder to give pre-cheesing a chance. You’ll thank me later.

This has been a message in the public interest, from your friend, tGreenWay.

Thanks! Good to be here. The cheese first approach also prevents the taco shell from getting soggy from the meat juice. Same concept as putting Mayo on the bottom bread of a sammy to keep the bread from getting soggy.
