My Mom used to make them fairly often, but more like Jack in the Box Style… fried with the Picadillo already in them… then you kinda crack them open and stuff them with lettuce and drizzle on crema and cheese.
I love the open shelled version because you can add more toppings A little smear of beans, the meat, cheese, the taco sauce, fresh tomato, shredded iceberg lettuce and cream. It’s such a delight in one bite. We make them way more than I care to admit. LOL! We would have them this week, but we are having Tuna Tostadas instead…
Also, you don’t have to use ground beef with them, you can use shredded chicken like tinga.
