Take your meat, place it in the pot and let it boil for three hours until its tender. Be sure to add lots of salt to the meat, this will help tenderize the meat. Peel and clean all the chiles (anchos and guaillo), make sure you remove all the seeds and the veins.

Dr. Russell reminds us every class to not to forget to include the obvious items and Taco Bell beat their competitors to this niche. Management of the company incorporated focus groups to make sure they perfected this product before its launch. They went through a lot of trial and error.

From a ride range of tacos from “The Democrat” to the “Dirty Sanchez”, I was stumped on which to order. I decided on the “Trailer Park” which contains a large piece of fried chicken, lettuce, green chiles, pico de gallo on a flour tortilla with pablano sauce.

Once I poured the jalapeno ranch on top of my taco, the flour tortilla is too small to full wrap up it’s contents. As soon as I picked up my taco, the queso, pico de gallo, ranch sauce, and green chiles fell out of the bottom.
