There are a number of different cuts of beef that can also work well in tacos but for this recipe the shin is the star. Not only is it very affordable but it also packs the most flavour which is ideal in a dish like tacos where you need good flavour from the meat to keep up with the other ingredients.  

It has long been debated whether hard shell or soft-shell tacos are superior, but both bring a lot to the table. Ultimately it comes down to personal preference, some people love the crunch and structural integrity of a hard-shell taco for holding the filling whilst others prefer the lighter texture of a soft shell. No matter what type of shell you choose, this recipe will be a winner for everyone.
