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.

Do people actually just put... no seasoning in or is this just a (probably deserved) dig at shitty texmex spice mixes?

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am fairly certain one of my aunts genuinely served us unseasoned meat.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

aaaaaa I am bothered!

There were WARS over seasoning!

There were TONS OF MURDERS over seasoning!

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!

And/or "taco sauce" labelled as such

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

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!!! logo solidarity

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!!!

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Hexboare@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Only an hour? This is tomato heresy

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

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] ryepunk@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I think the seasoning packets made it look orange?

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (6 children)

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

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

i dont think those are even technically fried. just a bake

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

thats exactly how my mom made them

[–] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

Don't forget the mound of sour cream to take the edge off of the cheddar cheese!

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.

[–] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

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

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] BobDole@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Ishmael@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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
