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.

    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.

    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’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.

    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

    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.

    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.
