Meat Lite: Lamb Falafel Burgers

Any idea if these would be good cooked on the grill?

Cook the Book: 'Tacos'

The first time I ever tried fish tacos. I had thought it was a weird idea, but while strolling around Mission Beach in San Diego waiting for a friend I decided to take the plunge from one of many random vendors. The fish was perfect - moist and flaky on the inside with a slight crispy crunch on the outside. The salsa was a perfect pico de gallo made with fresh tomatoes, onions and cilantro.

I had my fair share of fish tacos during my week in San Diego, as well as the many following years living in LA, but none will ever be as good as that first one.

It was the first time I used my Weber Silver grill. I loaded it up with charcoal and lit some newspaper underneath. I got a good fire going, but only with the newspaper. Clouds of black smoke were all over the place and I couldn't see anything. In an effort to grab the cover and cut off some of the oxygen, I tripped, knocking over the grill onto my balcony. Burning paper was flying everywhere. Some landed on the bag of remaining charcoal and that lit up like a fuse almost immediately. Needless to say, better planning, a fire extinguisher and a handy phone to call the fire department were on the menu for my next (successful) attempt the following day.

How well do you think this would work out in a crock pot? Those things are designed for braising...

I made these today, and I want to thank you for posting this recipe! The simmering pork belly smelled awesome, and the final product was one of the best pork belly recipes I have ever tasted. I added the eggs too-- super tastey. I just scored huge points with my sweetie.

Do you think these would freeze well? If so, should they go in the freezer before or after cooking?
Thanks!

We were visiting the West Coast when we first came across Fish Tacos. Being from the Midwest (and this was a long time ago) we'd never heard of them and were quite leery of trying them. After some serious nudging from local friends, we broke down and gave them a try - and WOW! We've been practically addicted ever since!

The first good tacos I had while serving in the military in the southwest. Not the hard shelled fall to pieces filled with ground beef and bad cheese from school lunch days.

My mom's specialty is tacos so we had them at least twice a month. They were always better re-heated because then they got extra crispy in the oven.

I had the best beef taco in my life this past month, purchased from a street vendor in Puerto Penasco, Mexico. I don't know if it was the pico, the meat, or the tortilla, but it was just right !!!

I had never had a fish taco. Then, working with a sale rep who had lived in California, he suggested we go to have fish tacos while in LA, where he used to live. We went to a couple of places before we ended up with what was my first fish taco, about 4 years ago. Love em.
