I have yet to have a crunchy taco that didn’t asplode and I’m fairly certain I eat them the same way as described.
I guess I will have to try again at lunch today.

I am intrigued by this concept and want to know where I can buy the explosive tortillas. Mine never explode, they just break at the most importune moment. I want to upgrade to exploding!
