Comment (by dnavarrojr):

 Wow... 7 years and still not resolved.  I'm at a total loss.

 My question is, what is the correct method for adding a template part from
 a plugin that creates a custom post type?

 For example, I create a CPT called "tacos" and I want to control the
 content area of my CPT using a template in my plugin folder.  I don't want
 to put it in the theme folder because what happens when the user changes
 themes, but keep using my plugin?

 I would think just adding a filter to add my template folder into the
 hierarchy would be a simple thing, but apparently not...
