Cooking and Preparation Tools
This is a list of the items required to prepare and cook the taco ingredients.

♦ Sauce pan to hold shredded meat ♦ Large chopping board
♦ Baking pan for fried shells ♦ Fork for shredding beef
♦ Bowls for garnishes ♦ Toothpicks
♦ Paper towels
Let’s review the list of tools together.
› The large frying pan should be large enough to have the roast lay completely flat. You could sear the roast in a large pot if you don’t have a large enough frying pan or cut the roast into more manageable pieces .
› The 10 qt pot should be able to hold the roast, celery, and onion with water covering the top of the roast.
› Baking pan should be large enough to hold the taco shells after they have been fried.
› The tongs will be used to turn over the roast when searing it. Two tongs will probably be necessary to move the roast from the frying pan to the pot.
› Bowls, knife, chopping board, paper towels, fork and toothpicks are self explanatory.
