80% the time it isn’t even close to the case
here’s your bag of shredded “Mexican” cheese with no Mexican cheese in it. You can put it on your “taco” that’s got grey ground beef, watery flavorless red “sauce” that’s smooth because you can’t handle salsa, iceberg lettuce, and a dash of tabasco because you say “you like spice” but what you really like is vinegar. all served on an microwaved flour tortilla that is cold
you don’t even use lime
“Authentic”
Yeah grind up some Mexicans and put them with the cheese at least! /S
Beef isn't even the good stuff for tacos, Pork is where its at
Although i am a bit of an outlier for a pasty white dude; i like scorpion peppers (fruity flavor and heat), make my own salsa with them, can make fresh flour tortillas, and know that lime is both a fruit and a mineral used in processing cornmeal
Edit: oh and i grind my own chorizo (admittedly using a premade spice blend)
Corn tortillas >>>> flour tortillas for tacos.
And corn = no gluten, which = I can has!
If they're fresh, absolutely. Off the shelf grocery store corn tortillas kinda suck tho
What do you do for the flour tortillas?
Keeping the moisture in the dough as low as possible is key for the flour ones, otherwise they dont keep their shape when you press them and shrink. I will literally do a shake of water off my fingers at a time while mixing dough.
I prefer shortening over butter or lard, myself.
Chorizo and potatoes with eggs 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Don’t forget the low-fat sour cream. Your options are too much, or waaaaaaaaay too much depending on regional preferences.
My parents use yogurt ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Honestly a full fat extra sour natural yogurt like the way Indians make it isn’t thaaaat far off from cheap sour cream.
oh my god how could I forget the thick base layer of sour cream, spread around the entirety of the tortilla so that literally every bite has a huge dollop of
You forgot the black olives!
Now you're talking like a midwesterner!!
I think I just had a dissociative flashback.
