Notes

  • Don’t overstuff; these tacos want space to crisp and breathe.
  • Medium heat wins: Too hot burns the tortilla before the cheese melts.
  • Season lightly: The neck bones already carry history - taste first.
  • Leftover neck bones also make for a delicious off da chain sandwich with caramelized onions and beer sauce.
