    A fried flour tortilla with unseasoned ground beef, shredded cheese, big chunks of tomato, and lettuce. They’re so gross. Shops selling something like a mexican street taco has started to pop up and it’s so nice bc white people tacos aren’t fit to feed dogs.

      This youtube comment I found where someone ended up liking them was kinda cute though.

      I like the white people tacos lol. Other than the tomatoes which Ive hated since I was a kid.

          I dont even have tomato sauce on pasta lol. (Though actually, my sister put some sauce on the pasta she made me a coupled days ago, but when I make it for myself). Just olive oil and parmesan. Alfredo is also good for a special treat. But tomato sauce I am no particular fan.

          I am ok with it on pizza though. But not when there are visible chunks between the cheese and the crust. Hate that.

            most tomato sauce is ass and has huge chunks so I don’t blame you. Plus unless it’s done exactly right I think even good sauce can taste bad on pasta.

            olive oil and Parmesan / vegan Parmesan is always good though. Especially if you season the noodle('s water) right I imagine

            REAL, pizza SAUCE is a SAUCE not a fucking TOPPING get it RIGHT pizza places

            You gotta make your own tomato sauce. Me and my partner get a thing of feta, a quart of grape tomatoes, some onion and garlic. Bake for like an hour with olive oil and pepper and other spices you like. Blend that up and serve with a protein and type of pasta you like.

              I love San Marzano tomatoes! And let it cook for like four or five hours to get sugary. That’s what I do, at least, and it turns out woooonderful :3

              Only an hour? This is tomato heresy

              You only get the best flavours after 8-12 hours of slow cooking

                I’ve found 4-5 hours to be my hot spot, with San Marzano tomatoes. Beyond that it reduces too much and doesn’t taste better. Less than that is okay… but it’s better at about four hours.

                If I ever become that prepared for cooking I’ll have to give that a try. Haha sounds good though

        Why did the ground beef look orange? The beef looked orange and the congealed fat was always bright neon orange? What was that? What the hell were they feeding us?

      You think white people are actually frying their tortillas?

      Straight out of the bag, cold, meat and cheese, roll it up and that’s a taco to most whities

        Nah the real experience is putting so much wet beef in there that you couldn’t possibly roll it up, and then having it explode all over your plate after one bite

        No, no, they have “taco shells” that come in boxes at the grocery store. It’s a stale, fried, u-shaped tortilla “taco shell.” Comes right out of the box.

        wait this is not how you’re supposed to eat them? I always thought eating that stuff cold was kinda unpleasant to me so I guess it makes sense

          That movie is extremely accurate in its depiction of small town white people in the 90s. School was 80% white, the rest were Mexican or Native, and there was like 3 black kids. The Ls in words like “Tortilla” were out in force.

      This is the shit my midwestern parents fed me as a kid even though we lived like 100 miles from Mexico. It wasn’t until we were slightly less broke that I experienced flavor.

      When I was a kid growing up in the Midwest, this is what I thought tacos were. And then a friend took me to a legit Mexican joint as a teenager and my mind was blown

      See the problem here is the unseasoned ground beef. You’ve gotta pour in one of those old el paso taco seasoning pouches in there.
