tacos that are pretty much just ground beef and cheese is something white people really do though. not all white people of course, but it’s a thing and not rare at all
Yeah and they’re great. White people tacos are a distinct, low-effort species from Mexican tacos.
Hot tip: to make your white people tacos meat stretch further, add black beans!
yeah the low effort aspect is one of the things about it that makes it a perfectly valid variation and I’m not just saying that in a backhanded way, sometimes you don’t have time to slow cook meat or marinate it and set up the grill
my favorite way to “elevate” it is to add about 1-2 tablespoons of tomato paste after the ground beef browned, mix it it and let it simmer on low heat covered for 5-15 minutes
The northern European white people taco consists of:
- Hard shell
- Ground beef, that has been “fried”, ie. broken up in a skiltet that is too small and boiled in it’s own juices until grey and nasty with stone of store bought “taco seasoning” (mostly salt and yeast extract but also trace amounts of cumin and other spices)
- Shredded wet iceberg lettuce
- Sugary store bought salsa, either “medium” (someone showed the jar a picture of a jalapeno) or “mild” (essentially chunky tomato ketchup)
- Shredded cheese from a bag
- “Guacamole”, either a combination of sour cream, avocado and a pouch of premixed seasoning or some ungodly shelf-stable green cream cheese concoction
- Two or three slices of pickled jalapeno if you’re really adventurous
Supermarkets promote this as “Mexican” food.
Why are you roasting my childhood like this
Reading through this, i’m realizing that this dog vomit excuse for food not only left scarsfor years, it dug deep.
I grew up thinking I hated guacamole because of that nasty-ass shelf-stable shit
My store has a Mexican aisle in the normal numbered aisle sections, which is basically white people taco supplies. And mexican imports in the world food aisles that is actual food from mexico.
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.
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
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.
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.

random tomatoes in food hater gang!!!
A message to all cooks: At least make the dish you randomly include tomatoes in make sense with it! My autistic ass will thank you!!!
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.
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
If I ever become that prepared for cooking I’ll have to give that a try. Haha sounds good though
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.
This is true for pasta sauce, but for fresh tomato (now is the season in NA ) sauce the cooking doesn’t have to be so long.
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
I am ok with it on pizza though. But not when there are visible chunks between the cheese and the crust. Hate that.
REAL, pizza SAUCE is a SAUCE not a fucking TOPPING get it RIGHT pizza places
You get it!!!
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?
I think the seasoning packets made it look orange?
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
thats exactly how my mom made them
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.
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
Don’t forget the mound of sour cream to take the edge off of the cheddar cheese!
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.
i dont think those are even technically fried. just a bake
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.
Like i said, unseasoned!
Do people actually just put… no seasoning in or is this just a (probably deserved) dig at shitty texmex spice mixes?
Both, honestly.
And/or “taco sauce” labelled as such
Remember the adds for that salsa where the cowboys would yell about the other salsa brand being made in “New York City!” To imply that their brand was authentic and their brand was like weirdly thick tomato flavored water?
I am fairly certain one of my aunts genuinely served us unseasoned meat.
aaaaaa I am bothered!
There were WARS over seasoning!
There were TONS OF MURDERS over seasoning!
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!
I am one of the white people lol. (I season the beef more than most white people though).
Cumin?
inI know this is a joke, but my dad calls cumin come-in. He also called Chipotle chi-pot-le unironically for years. But that’s what you get when you grow up in a place named Mudlake.
What bad opinions are responsible for this thread having over 100 comments? Im about to find out
Hexbearian food elitism that gets take too far every single time.
Oddly not much going on here. I was surprised by the comment count too.
which one is the one who cramps calves
Pelosi
If anything she’s kneecaping people, not cramping calves.
Lol. Lmao, evenHow else are we supposed to keep our skin so white and silky smooth?

There should be a Joe Rogan-esque “talk to me about anything you want” podcast which is an open forum for chud operatives to spew their vitriol, but they are forced to eat very spicy food first and only have access to one small glass of water, and one baby bottle with a nipple filled with milk for the next hour and a half of discussion.
Hot ones, but in the first episode we make Shapiro eat a scorpion pepper every time he says “let’s say” or “hypothetically”. The first question is about the trolley problem.

It’s not racist because white people are entirely unharmed by it, dipshits.
Excuse me, haven’t you seen how harmed they are on Twitter? :(
Isn’t this like the definition of a dunk tank post?
This didnt really feel like a dunk because it wasnt a screenshot of the actual post being dunked on but just like, a screenshot of a post talking about it happening so I wasnt really sure.
What’s that Satre bit about antisemitism? Never assume they don’t know they’re being disingenuous or facetious or something?
Last time I drove out to see my mom she asked me if I’d like her to pickup some dinner anywhere before I came in, so I suggested Pho (knowing she would easily be able to eat it, it’s got no spice unless you add it). I explained over the phone that it was absolutely safe, she would love it. When I got there she ordered something else for herself and I had to explain straight up that she was being absurd.
I made Thai food for her later that weekend and it really struck me how sad it was that she’s just kept herself locked up away from all of these amazing foods. Honestly spice wasn’t even that hard to get used to (I’m still not great but I can appreciate a good blend of spiciness and flavor), like any other weird flavor you can train yourself to eat it.
Us Minnesotans are hecka proud of our Hot Dish, some of us go as far as Cold Hot Dish. If you’re from outside Minnesota I’m talking about casserole and pasta salad. And pasta salad is not the midwest mayo-layered trifle thingy.
Additionally, as a Minnesotan, I know of people who think ketchup is a “hot sauce”. These are the scary ones.
ketchup is a “hot sauce”

Believe it or not? Gulag
Is this what Soundgarden meant with ”looking California and feeling Minnesota”?
California is cool. All of the cool in all of Minnesota came specifically and exclusively from Prince, and now that it’s dead the cool is decaying in to stable un-cool particles.

I can enjoy the heck out of a good casserole, with the chemical-y tasting chicken cream soup in a can.
But ketchup spicy? Not even in the whitest of
I’ve seen than as a valid opinion.

Perfectly reasonable response.

Spicy cannon lmao
Sweetie racism exists, but it’s only against white people
This is why I knew they were never serious. As if Cumtown was ever not funny. Shut up loser you just want to say the n-word.
isn’t cumtown basically a bunch of “ironic” n words though idk I haven’t watched it
No one on Cumtown has ever said the n-word, ironically or otherwise, at least on pod. The bit is always that they almost say the n-word (which is an incredibly rare bit), or it’s a bit about guy talking about how he was promised ‘n-less’ shrimp (again another one off). For like, edgy borderline to possibly crossing the line racist stuff, they were far more likely to play around with the bit that Adam has a big black son, or other incredibly dumb race-related bits than ironic slurs, though they do make fun of New York Italians a lot.
You’re thinking of like idubbbz. Nick specifically is more likely to joke about how much white people love saying the n-word.
Don’t they say the r word and the gay slur a lot?
Yes, and yes. In particular they really liked to do little song parodies about how r-worded and gay (f-worded) they were (but mostly about how small their dicks were). The content definitely isn’t for everyone, but to say the show was racist, sexist and homophobic is really stretching the definition, especially since I’ve had to work around people that legitimately still think that gay people are pedophiles. It was a really dumb guy podcast, but idk, it just never crossed the line for me in ways that so many other male comedian podcasts always seemed to, which is why I would stop listening to them, with much of it having to do with the total lack of hostility towards anybody aside from each other on occasion. It was a vibe.
He did drop a censored N bomb in the context that he accidentally doxxed Adam, Adam gets upset, saying Nick will forget to bleep his home address and some deranged fan’s going to show up and shoot him.
Nick proceeds to say the N word with the hard R (censored in the released version), Stav absolutely loses it. Nick goes “Ok this way I won’t forget to go back and edit out your address which is beeeep, because then I’ll be cancelled for saying the N word”
I have not watched that episode, now I know!
Do you know what episode that was? I’ve heard almost al of it (less of the patron stuff) and haven’t heard that and I’m curious hahahaha
