What’s the green stuff and the red stuff?
Looks like shredded lettuce and red and yellow tomatoes
I think it’s lettuce and cherry tomatoes.
I know the seasoning packets say to drain the fat from the hamburger after browning, but it always leaves it so dry. I never drain the fat out or add water and I let it all marinate for at least an hour before serving. It’s so, so much better.
Depends on the how lean of a mix you use too. I use fattier ground beef for tacos (80:20 lean to fat) and drain the fat after browning. I find that with that ratio draining doesn’t dry out the beef at all. The other key I’ve found is to cover the serving dish with the beef, while it’s sitting between being scooped for servings. Seems to dry out much faster if left exposed to open air
Ay yo white people taco night? Where you at, I’m flyin in
White people taco niiiiiight!!
Figures a tuxedo cat would have class
meow?
I thought it was weird my SO grandma’s cat ate at the table with us but I guess it’s not unusual.
I like that no item touches another item.
Damn I would have eaten that whole spread growing up. Late for dinner? more like foods gone
Hard and soft tacos? How accommodating.
Why not both indeed.
Are hard tacos actually nice to eat? Whenever I see them in movies and such, it seems like the tortilla would just shatter the moment you bite into it.
It’s like a tortilla made of a giant cornchip. Breakage can be an issue but they don’t explode like glass or anything.
Have you ever had a tostada?
That’s just toast in Spanish, it’s not a specific meal or anything.
Not sure if my incorrect spelling above is the issue. But this is from Wikipedia, which seems to reflect my understanding of what this is.
Tostada is the name given to various dishes in Mexico and Guatemala which include a toasted tortilla as the main base of their preparation. The name usually refers to a flat or bowl-shaped tortilla that is deep-fried or toasted, but may also refer to any dish using a tostada as a base.
Edit: oh wait I did spell it correctly…
Oh, I find it weird that many latin american countries name dishes as other common words, but now that you mention it it’s true.
At least in Spain, and according to google translate and deepl (I checked to make sure), tostada is the literal translation of toast and it’s used as such.
I guess gentooer means eating a tostada with something on it as comparison of a hard tortilla.
No, Mexican food isn’t very prevalent here. I’ve only ever had genuine tacos in a Mexican restaurant on holiday in Dublin.
Soft tacos are easier to eat but you can’t get Doritos crunchy taco shells as a soft taco
Crunch wraps!
Soft taco around a hard taco.
And on Taco Night no less‽
A white people taco night no less…
I am so gratified to learn that others use this term, too. Ain’t nothing wrong with some hamburger meat in a large tortilla chip with cheddar cheese, but it is most definitely not the same food item as you get from a taco joint. This is one of those home cooking exclusives.
I was going to comment the same excitement to someone else who used it above but couldn’t think of a good way to phrase it without sounding mildly bigoted.
People shit on these tacos but it’s a way better use of ground beef than fucking manwich or hamburger helper or meatloaf, or anything else besides burgers.
TIL about manwich and hamburger helper, those look disgusting indeed. Only similar thing we had is which was not to bad actually if you add your own veggies.
Yeah that’s a good point. We make some pretty gourmet meatloaf at my house so I might quibble with you on that one. But I am sure there’s some awful meatloaf out there too. Manwch is just… I can’t even. Isn’t it basically dog food you put on bread and call it a sandwich?
Manwich is a canned sauce you add to hamburger, it’s roughly BBQ flavored in nature.
Taco Tuesday Tom
Tuxedo Batman is so polite, and cute.
10/10 deserves dinner.
Where tomatoes?
Hey, they were invited. Didn’t show up I guess.
