To dissuade the notion that those of us in Texas are in a cult when it comes to HEB, I give you an HEB hiccup:
These are....not good. As has been said on her numerous times, HEB's in-store taqueria is an amazing experience for their flour tortillas, and they have recently branched out into hard taco shells. The experience does not match.
These weren't inedible -- my wife and I ate nine of them over the past two days -- but weren't overly good. I would have far preferred Old El Paso taco shells over these.
They suffered from two main problems. The shell was overly thick, but primarily due to its bubbly texture. (You can kinda see it in the photos.) But the biggest problem was that they tasted like frying oil, in the sense that they are frying way too many of these in the same batch of oil.....like when you fry shrimp and it gets that slight off taste due to the oil breaking down.
Probably won't buy again. (See! We can criticize the HEB!)
I made it comestible by increasing my application of El Yucateco.
