Meats

The flavor comes from the sauces so the meats are very simple.   

• Chicken (usually it is boiled or barbecued chicken in small pieces. You may stir-fry it if you like more flavors).
• Beef or pork stir fry
• Shrimp – any type of cooking you want 

Tortillas

Usually tortillas for tacos are corn tortillas and usually they are not deep-fried. The tortillas can be pan fried with very little fat or just heated.  You can use flour tortillas if you like.
