needs some green in there. also, your tortilla looks really pale. It should be cooked more, get some dark spots on it here and there.

Yeah. It's a huge pain in the ass though. Much easier to buy them in the store and heat them up.

OP, if you aren't cooking like a drunk hermit, you're not doing it right. Let me fuckin learn you something. Get an onion, some bell peppers, a jalapeno, and chop that shit up. The more retarded and messy the dice job is, the better. Then you throw your autism salad into a hot cast iron pan with some olive oil and add salt and just stir the shit every once in a while until the onions are brown as the mole on your left shoulder (my left) that has that one weird hair that sticks out that everyone notices when you take your shirt off. Squeeze in some lime juice, whatever. Inhale the mustard gas, vents are for fags. Once that's done just dump it out into a pot and keep it on low with a lid on. Nice and warm. Now take your chicken. Cut it but make sure it's still big stupid uneven chunks. Dump it in the cast iron, probably have to add more oil. Don't wear a shirt and be really clumsy, you get those pock mark burns. Badge of honor. Don't completely cook the chicken. This is not a joke, if you completely cook it here you fucked up. Once chicken is at a satisfactory level of not-raw, dump back in the autism salad. Then dump in a jar of salsa verde and some of that beer that you should have been drinking this whole time. I recommend Steel Reserve, I find the flashbacks to my father's belt enhances the flavors. Then dump in cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder. A whole lot of each. If you aren't going through cumin like an old mexican woman, you're fucking it up. Turn the heat down and stir, and let it simmer for a long time, I don't fucking know. Chain smoke for luck. When it's cooked down, use two forks to pull apart the chicken. Should be tenderish, even if done the stupid way. Then plop it in a freshly microwaved tortilla and add lettuce, cheese, guac. Finish the steel reserve with your lonely dinner, open can 2, and give yourself the empty promise that you'll clean up in the morning. You won't. Fall asleep on the couch watching Joe Pera.

Homemade corn tortillas are easy af. 2 cups maseca flour, 1.5 cups hot water. Mix until homogenized. Grab @1.8oz ball of dough, roll into a ball and press out in a cheap ass press lined with plastic. Peel off and slap into an iron skillet or griddle pre heated to medium. 30 seconds one side, 30 seconds another side. Wala. Flour tortillas use white flour, hot water lard, salt and baking powder, but are the same otherwise.

Also take diced red onion and diced habanero.
Mix soysauce and and sugar then put everything in a plastic bag and let them mingle over night.
Makes a nice relish to put on your tacos

the perfect white trash taco:

fry a slice of wonder bread, fold it into a triangle. stuff with sliced hot dog, a piece of american cheese or some cheez whiz, chili sauce and bean dip. OLE!
