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”

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.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If they're fresh, absolutely. Off the shelf grocery store corn tortillas kinda suck tho

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kinda? Like eating thin kitchen tile.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have you...eaten a kitchen tile?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Look, it was a weird time in my life, ok?

What do you do for the flour tortillas?

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

You forgot the black olives!

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 10 points 2 years ago

Now you're talking like a midwesterner!!

Don’t forget the low-fat sour cream. Your options are too much, or waaaaaaaaay too much depending on regional preferences.

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My parents use yogurt ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Honestly a full fat extra sour natural yogurt like the way Indians make it isn’t thaaaat far off from cheap sour cream.

[–] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] rivan@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I think I just had a dissociative flashback.

This meme is too spicy to be eaten by the people it’s insulting

Every page:

go to [country]. You're rich of course, so this is the easy bit. Call your private jet people.

I'd buy this cookbook, doesn't even have to be good.

When is the general strike and protest?

But also.... After your tacos are many mike crow waved, don't forget the sulfuric acid. Add it after and not before. For flavor.
