For meat I'll get a rotisserie chicken, cut it up, add taco seasoning, and munch away. [8D]
This is the masa flour I use:
Bob's Red Mill Golden Masa Harina Corn Flour
Ingredients
2 cups masa harina
1.5 cups hot water
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix salt and masa harina together.
Pour 1.5 cups of hot water into the dough and mix with a spoon or your hand to form a big ball. The dough should be firm and springy when touched, not dry or super sticky. If the mixture is too dry and it needs some more water, add it in small amounts until dough is the right consistency.
Cover the bowl with a cloth napkin and let the dough rest for about an hour.
Preheat a griddle or large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Pinch off a golf-ball sized piece of masa harina and form it into a ball by rolling it in a circular motion in the palm of your hand.
Put the masa ball in between two pieces of plastic wrap, parchment or wax paper and flatten it using the tortilla press or rolling pin.
Gently remove the flattened masa from the plastic wrap and cook on the hot griddle for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how hot the surface of the griddle is. You want the tortilla to have beautiful brown marks.
Flip the tortilla over and cook on the other side for 30 seconds to about 1 minute. The tortilla may start to puff up in the middle, That's okay!
Remove the tortilla and place it between a cloth napkin or a tortilla warmer to keep it warm.
Repeat steps 5-9 until all the dough is gone.
At Taco Bell 12 pack yellow hard shell.

I was at one time all about soft and flour....but with me trying to limit my gluten intake, it's hard or soft, but corn. [:D]

Why limit your gluten intake? Allergic?
Tortilla in South America is an pan fried egg dish. A Tortilla is called an Arepa.
Actually charcoal has mostly been discontinued. A lot of people complained about the fumes and,, it was finally resolved when gas became cheaper than charcoal.
The family has several Arepa store front businesses in various towns. A favorite food, sometimes they are stuffed with ham and cheese.
Don't think I've seen a "Taco" in South America? Need to avoid the Pink Tacos.
I prefer soft corn (preferred) or flour. Hard shells break apart when I try to eat them. Spilling the filling all over my plate and shirt. Then the wife gets mad!
That's why I make my own, you can pull them out of the oil at the hardness that you want, from soft, to medium (crisp), too hard (crutch),
