    Any aficionado tops their taco with avocado!

  • terje  on  September 30, 2015

    Refried black beans, red onion, cilantro, quest blanco, and avocado….

  • Twistie  on  September 30, 2015

    Carnitas, por favor!

    But I'll eat tacos with almost anything in them.

  • obbigttam  on  September 30, 2015

    Bacon, refried beans, cherry tomatoes, caramelised onion, jalepenos, cilantro, shredded mustard leaves, sliced avocado and a mix of grated pecorino & smoked cheddar, topped with a few drops of habenero sauce!

  • mziech  on  September 30, 2015

    carnitas and crema!

  • kalex426  on  September 30, 2015

    Has to be fish, crispy fried or broiled. Fish tacos are my favorite.

  • Zosia  on  September 30, 2015

    Grilled fish

  • Foodycat  on  September 30, 2015

    Fish – preferably a mix of grilled and smoked mackerel. With guacamole and tomato salsa.

  • JoanN  on  September 30, 2015

    Had a cabeza de vaca taco at a small stand in Oaxaca last year. Best taco I've ever had.

  • lils74  on  September 30, 2015

    Oh, this is a hard one – I love chicken in a taco or most any meat, but the best taco I've ever had had a strip of fish in it, battered and fried golden and topped with some crunchy, tangy veggies. Mouth watering just thinking about it!

  • ravensfan  on  September 30, 2015

    Fish, avocado.

  • lhudson  on  September 30, 2015

    Beef or any kind!

  • kedmiston  on  September 30, 2015

    Corn meal battered chicken, coleslaw, and spicy avocado dressing. So good!

  • Bikkie  on  September 30, 2015

    My favourite is fish tacos with pomegranate salsa – Erin Scott has a great recipe in Yummy Supper.

  • jyms  on  September 30, 2015

    avocado (:

  • cbendixe  on  September 30, 2015

    If I'm in a beefy mood, lengua. If I'm in a porky mood, carnitas. Perfection.

  • beanwean  on  September 30, 2015

    Carnitas!

  • SilverSage  on  September 30, 2015

    Fish tacos, hands down! I love htem with chipotle sauce, shredded cabbage, avocado, lots of cilantro, and a good squeeze of lime.

  • Sfgordon  on  September 30, 2015

    I love many tacos but my all-time favorite has to be the breakfast taco – I like mine with scrambled eggs (not too much), black beans, cheese, avocado, and REALLY spicy salsa

  • lselke  on  September 30, 2015

    My favorite filling of the moment is actually smoky sauteed greens and a little bit of hard cheese. Best vegetarian taco ever. And I'm not vegetarian! I thought they'd be boring, but no. A little dollop of whole beans wouldn't go amiss either.

  • dangold  on  September 30, 2015

    Carnitas!

  • Anne R.  on  September 30, 2015

    My son is obsessed with tacos, but he likes chilli made with mince – I'd like to broaden his horizons somewhat…

  • sgump  on  September 30, 2015

    Yes, fish

    Carnitas!

  • reno2014  on  October 1, 2015

    The two main ingredients that are a must have for me in tacos are sour cream, and orange bell peppers. I love my tacos to have chicken in them. The rest of the filings I vary.

  • Siegal  on  October 1, 2015

    I love ground beef in my tacos

  • susan g  on  October 1, 2015

    sweet potato, black beans, lime sour cream, salsa verde, and whatever else Odaley in NH wants to add.

  • sarahcooks  on  October 2, 2015

    Carne asada, cilantro, and onion

  • GillB  on  October 2, 2015

    Spicy beef and beans, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, avocados, shredded mixed cabbage and lots of salsa

  • t.t  on  October 2, 2015

    it depends on who's making the tacos. i love carnitas, but there's one taco truck that does amazing lengua and tripitas…

  • tikilu  on  October 2, 2015

    I think a great taco filling is strips of rare steak with chipotle bbq drizzle, a little Monterey Jack cheese, some sweet corn and hot salsa and a big dollop of sour cream. You can keep the guacamole, never been a fan…it tastes like dirt!
    Have been toying with the idea of dessert tacos, speculoos flavour taco filled with marshmallow, chocolate chips, ice cream, and a salted caramel drizzle. Yum.

  • gourmet.jo  on  October 2, 2015

    Roast peppers, onions, corn salad, black beans and lots of salsa and guacamole…. yummy

  • AGENT99  on  October 3, 2015

  • kbennall  on  October 5, 2015

    Favorite? Um…I recently tried crispy tripa (tripe) and I was skeptical, but it was one of the best things I've ever tasted. But otherwise, I mean, what ISN'T my favorite thing on a taco? Mushrooms, chorizo, chiles rellenos, beans, cheese, carne asada, carnitas, pollo adobada, barbacoa, lamb, literally anything al pastor, cabeza, buches, lengua…
