Yea but you waste so much using the zip sealed bag. Spoon cream onto the taco shouldnt be a complicated thing unless you're scrapping the bottom of the tub -

Please, PLEASE Don't use store bought taco shells! I BEG YOU! THESE ARE NOT HOW TACOS SHOULD TASTE! Always buy a bag of fresh corn tortillas and fry them yourself, or be truly authentic and just heat them until soft and fill with your taco meat. Reasons to use real tortillas: a. they are cheaper b. they are healthier c. they taste better d. they are authentic There's NO excuse for eating that ortega cardboard crap!

I use a zipper seal bag with the corner cut out to dispense sour cream for hard shell tacos. It is much easier than spooning it in the narrow opening.
