Hi Marcy! My husband and I enjoyed the Chico's Tacos recipe. We had quite a bit of tomato sauce left over, so the next night for dinner we turned it into soup. We added a bit more broth, added the leftover hamburger meat, we fried some corn tortilla strips and added them on top of the soup, and then topped with the cheese. All the same great flavors, just in a different form. It was really delicious! Thank you again for sharing with us!

What a great idea! I'm going to pin your comment because I want to make sure other people read it. We had quite a bit left over, as well, so I ended up making chilaquiles the next two mornings for breakfast. I fried pieces of corn tortilla, added some of the ground beef, and mixed in tomato broth and the tomatillo salsa along with some grated cheese. Then I fried an egg and put it on top. It was delicious. Like you said, all the same flavors, just in a different form. Thanks so much for the comment.

Hi Marcy. I currently live in El Paso and my brother in law also makes a copycat version. He uses already made rolled tacos that we can get at a restaurant here called La Tapatia or, they sell them at our local Albertsons. He fries them up and adds the sauce and cheese. So much easier. Thanks for recognizing this El Paso icon.

Chico's Tacos is so iconic, I once flew into El Paso, and when we we touched down at the airport, the flight attendant announced, "Welcome to El Paso, home of Chico's Tacos!" The plane erupted in applause. 👏👏👏 Have you been? What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments.

@@Michelle38760 No idea. I can only assume it was a vendor for larger operations. I have noticed a few copy cat type of locations popping up. There's a taco place in Austin which serve tacos that look just like Chicos.

Do yours taste like theirs? You didn't say. Would you make any changes? I'm on the opposite side of Texas by the La. Border, so it's not like I can just drop in to Chico's. I am quite honestly amazed that there aren't more Spices!

I think they came out pretty close. If I was making them for myself, not trying to match Chico's, I would probably add some form of chile to the tomato broth, and not just add green salsa in the end. Substituting the 1 can of tomato sauce for a can of El Pato would be fantastic. But they were really good.

Hi marcy wish meet you

My brother makes best chicos tacos and mendudo bestvsinger ep.rewind bsnd im.his sister i sing too

In all my travels, trying hundreds of local favorites, I have never been more disappointed with an iconic food offering. Fortunately for me, because I stopped at one and a half "rolled tacos", I didn't have to later endure those distinctive "Chico's farts" I also heard so much about.

I want to know what personal spin you've done on this recipe.

Raised prices

You gotta put a fork in the side and use it to lift the taco.
