Completely homemade tacos

Tacos
Tacos are one of the most delicious dishes you can make. And they are easy to make too. You just buy all the ingredients and throw them all together.
But what if you would not buy the tortillas, the seasoning and all of the other stuff that makes it so incredibly easy to make tacos or any mexican dish for that matter? What if you would only buy the bare essentials and make everything else yourself?
You know it is much more fun to make dishes from scratch, especially exotic food. I could not imagine buying already pre-made chinese, indian or mexican food. If you really want to enjoy it, you have to make it out of the bare essentials.
Today I dare you, try to make tacos from scratch. And I mean everything, only buy the bare essentials. You can find the recipes on this page about tacos. Buy flour and olive oil and make your own tortillas. Make your own taco seasoning from only the basic spices. Buy fresh meat and vegetables and make tacos. You would be surprised how much better they will taste if you make everything yourself. And they won't just taste better, they will be healthier too.
Do not worry about how complicated making tacos from scratch could be. It is actually pretty simple. Why shouldn't it be, people used to make them for centuries without any supermarket to provide the already made tortillas, seasonings or even complete taco fillings.
If you try this challenge, write your experiences and your success in between the comments, I'll appreciate the feedback. Good luck and have fun cooking.
