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
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.
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?
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!
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?

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.
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 get it!!!
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.
Only an hour? This is tomato heresy
You only get the best flavours after 8-12 hours of slow cooking
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
Don't forget the mound of sour cream to take the edge off of the cheddar cheese!
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
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
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
Cumin?
I 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.
I am one of the white people lol. (I season the beef more than most white people though).
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:
Supermarkets promote this as "Mexican" food.
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.
I grew up thinking I hated guacamole because of that nasty-ass shelf-stable shit
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.
