      My DH claims these tacos tasted just like JIB. He took one bite and smiled saying..."Mmmmm memories..." Only change that was made was putting the meat and all seasonings with the refried beans in the food processer for a little while...it gave the meat and beans the perfect texture! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! This was a winner!

      OK...I am not one that would normally change a recipe. The closest Jack in the Box to NY is in South Carolina and I've been craving these for years! I tried this recipe. The cosistency of the meat was great but the flavor was not as spicy. I played around and think I have it mastered! You be the judge! Instead of regular refried beans I used the Old El Paso (Green Chiles) Refried Beans. Additionally, instead of using chili powder I used the Old El Paso (Hot & Spicy) Taco seasoning Mix. They are incredible! Does anyone have any ideas as to how to keep the shells from splitting when folded? I tried warming them....it helps somewhat but doesn't elimiate the problem completely.

      To all of you that are complaining because the ingredients aren't the same as JITB tacos, listen up. This is a recipe created by Todd Wilbur, known for his Top Secret Recipes cookbooks. He explains in his books that even if he got the exact recipe, it would be useless because it contains ingredients that the home cook can't get. So what he does is CLONES the dish. He uses easy to find ingredients and gets as close as possible to the real thing. Ok?

      We love Jack in the Box tacos! Also, wanted to let "blocky" know a trick to getting the tortillas warm enough so they won't split... Warm them up on a griddle, (like you would cook pancakes on) at about 375º; cooking the tortilla on one side until it starts to steam, then flip it over and steam on other side until tortilla is soft/pliable. Don't keep them on too long or they'll start to get crisp. Then fill them as directed in the recipe. Another way to do it is to heat a bit of vegetable oil in a pan and "fry" them a bit to get them soft. But, the griddle way should work fine and you won't have twice the oil. Good luck!

      I just made the meat portion of this and used regular taco shells. I ran everything through the food processor to get a smooth texture. Turned out great! Thanks for posting.

      J n B Tacos don't contain any meat so these might be close...they use soy bean so are vegetarian.

      These were really good. It has been a long time since I had a Jack in the box taco so I can't say how similar they are but they were good.

      Although I myself found these to just be "greasy", the rest of the family ate ALOT of them. I know I'll be getting requests to make again.

      These were very good, but didn't really taste like the ones we got at JITB. The filling in the originals didn't have beans. (I know because I checked online to see what the ingredients were in the tacos. They are basically made with beef, soy and grits). I don't know how this recipe came about, but it's a good one, and I am glad to have found it!

      LOVE IT!! They were as close to JIB as I have found. I am from Texas & 4 years ago we moved to GA. There are NO JIB's in GA. We have actually driven to SC (2 1/2 hours away) to get JIB tacos. Thanks for this. My kids & I LOVE it.

      really easy to throw together; i found i had all the ingredients already :) i thought it tasted good; but i wasnt completely satisfied. the flavor is rather mild (although to be fair, i havent had a jib taco in a while).

      I've never eaten at Jack-in-the box. They don't have them where I live. But these tasted good. My DH called them "little morsels of love" I did add some taco seasoning to the beef mixture, added lettuce, sourcream, and drizzled hot on them. Yum!

      I've never experienced Jack-In-The-Box but I was craving some tacos for lunch and looking for something a little different. The only thing I changed was using TVP (textured vegetable protein) instead of meat. These were awesome. I think they'd be even better using refried beans with green chilies, but I'll try that next time. Five stars.

      OMG!!!! These are just wonderful; I made a big batch and asked my DH to try them and see what he thought about them he right aways said "These taste just like the Jack in the Box tacos" he ate almost half of the batch. Thank you for this recipe I definitely needed a change from my usual tacos....LOVE THEM!

      Turned out really great! My husband thought he was in heaven - but I will be careful how often I make them since he ate so many and these aren't exactly low fat! LOL
