Tacones are a taco-cone or a tortilla handroll. I am newly addicted to this meal! The recipe comes from a Victoria restaurant. It is wonderful! http://www.redfish-bluefish.com/

I made this recipe in my culinary class, and it tasted just like the tacones we get at another place in Vancouver, BC called "Go Fish". Only thing we added to each of the tacones was a 1/4 sheet of Nori (Japanese Sushi seaweed) to wrap with the tortilla wrap. Then it was complete and tasted just like what we get at 'Go Fish'.
