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.
