ground beef, de paso taco seasoning but I like my tacos in thicc seasoning sauce not runny so add a little water, put that shit in some hard taco shells with some chilli cheese fritos top with sour cream and sharp cheddar oh and some hot taco sauce without chunks

lots of black olives

>>12866297
double decker style hard shell wrapped with a soft shell with refried beans between them

>>12866319
>el paso taco seasoning
why not make your own seasoning instead? it's cheaper

>>12866383
never learned how to make my own, and just kinda got used to the taste of packet seasoning

>>12866330
Pretty much the only way desu. it keeps the shell from falling apart

I get some really thin flank stake and season it with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and a little tajin, then grill that shit.
Next I dice some white onions and cilantro. sometimes I will also add jalapenos or a pico de gallo.
Next I throw soft corn tortillas on an oiled griddle for like 20 seconds.

Assemble that shit and enjoy the fuck out of a real taco, none of that hard shell white people texmex garbage.

>>12866383
Normally I use my own when making a shredded or slowcooked meat, but when you're making shitty lazy ground beef tacos, instant mixes thicken up really easily without having to worry about mixing in the right ratio of corn starch.

what makes for the best taco meat

>why not make your own seasoning instead? it's cheaper

Seriously, this. Im still at a loss why people dont raise their own cattle for taco beef. If you raise them, sell them, and reinvest the money back into your own herd in (roughly) ten seasons youll be getting your beef for tacos for practically free. Its cheaper in the long run.

enjoy your excess sodium retards

>>12866383
It's pretty simple to do and btfo of the packaged shit. I was raised in the midwest and taco night was basically what yo described and eventhough it's shit compared to real mex tacos, I still hanker for it but use my own spice blend.
>brown ground beef
>remove from pan and saute diced onion and chopped jalapeno
>add garlic, bay leaf and cumin and saute for 1 minute
>add tomato puree
>add browned ground beef
>sprinkle ancho and chipotle powder to cover
>Stir and add stock
>cook on low 1 hour, season to taste with salt until desired consistency
Really takes it to a different level.

>>12867341
Will do. Enjoy being a fag. I can at least flush out sodium....youre going to be a bitch forever

Stuff with cheddar cheese and rice and nothing else.

Poorly lmao

Hard shells
Ortega seasoning
Shredded lettuce
Diced tomatoes
LOTS of cheese
Lots of jalapeños

>>12867056

are...you unaware that you have to toast them?

>>12868285
based

>>12866383
I bet you have that cringe chili image on your computer

I buy the old el paso doritos tacos knock off shells and some high fiber tortillas. Ground beef, old el paso seasoning since I'm too lazy to make my own, add some garlic, top with cheddar cheese, sour cream (though I recently discovered greek yogurt is an interesting substitute), corn salsa or just corn if Kroger doesn't have corn salsa, and mango habanero salsa

>>12868357
Seconding the Greek yogurt as a sour cream replacement. Often cheaper, healthier, and without comparing side by side you don't really notice the difference. Especially when eating as a condiment. Makes dips etc just the same.

From bottom of the shell to the top:
>warm, Shredded cheese (tex Mex works well, or shred your own Jack)
>hot ground beef with whatever taco seasoning, drained of fat/grease as much as possible
>lettuce, tomato (drained), Jalepeno, whatever veggies we made that day
>guac
>sour cream/yogurt/salsa as preferred, layered in the middle if your mouth is small

Each detail has the sole purpose of being less messy. The warm cheese melts under the meat and creates a seal on the inevitably cracked taco shell, so your tomato/salsa/condiments whatever don't leak all over your hands. Offset the generally dry details with the condiments, put them in the middle so you get some with each bite if you don't take big bites.

Fucking hate messy food. We're not animals. If they're particularly crack-prone shells, warm a tortilla with cheese on it and wrap the taco shell (can then omit the cheese layer in the shell, fill with more dead cow). Cheese sticks the tortilla to the shell decent enough.

>replace sourcream with greek yogurt
That's the most soi shit I've read all week

>>12866297
I prefer the soft burrito wraps instead of the hard shell tacos but:

>fry ground beef in frying pan.
>mix spaghetti sauce with taco seasoning sauce pack, maybe add some salt, garlic, onion powder, black pepper seasoning into it
>heat up black can of black beans
>mix ground beef, beans, sauce all together in pot
>heat pot up so mixture can get nice and warm
>slap some cheese across burrito wrap and then add meat and beans
>wrap up burrito or just eat taco

Sometimes I'll sprink some cheese on top ,but usually I just let it sit for like 3-5 minutes so the cheese in the wrap can melt around the meat and beans. Also, I use the Ortega taco/burrito kit thing, not that shit.

>Seasoned Lentils
>Lettuce
>Onion
>Lime Juice
>All on top of a warmed corn tortilla

Itt: horrendous tacos.
>>12866470 is the only thing even close to an authentic Mexican taco.

am I the only one who likes putting sour cream in the hard taco first so it gets nice and soft yet has a crunch in the top part

>>12868921
>muh "authentic"

>>12868921
Oh yeah, fucking onion and cilantro soooo much better than texmex. fucking faggot.

>>12866297
Walmart got the frozen taco meat for busy Tuesdays
Shredded lettuce tomato sour cream
Nachos with la preferida cheese

>>12867341

>how you make your tacos
Start with steak

>>12873797
Nice soft drinks or a blah blah beer

>>12873802
Preferably coke

>>12873803
A good number of salsas

>>12873806
Make table look somewhat similar before moving forward

>>12873808
Also suitable example

>>12873810
Reminder beer also qualifies

>>12873813
Best example seen of a fine taco on this board
Personal opinion

>>12873818
All in all
Tacos are nothing without tortillas
So eat them hot and fresh

>>12873826
Stay fresh
faggots
Food is best medicine

This meat looks like leather from a fucking shoe

>>12866297
I make my own taco seasoning.

1 Ancho
1 Chipotle
1 Guajillo
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 t Onion Powder
1/2 t Garlic Powder
1/2 t Oregano
1/2 t Coarse Sea Salt
3 strips smoked sun-dried tomatoes (secret ingredient)
Throw it all in a spice grinder or mortar & pestle. Grind it fine.
1 lb. of 80/20 Ground Chuck
Saute beef with the spice mixture until done.
Drain & serve with the toppings of your choice.
The spice blend also works with chili.

>>12866297
Pick my meat of choice depending on market price
Ground beef
Pork shoulder
Steak
Chicken thighs
Use home made tacos seasoning consisting of (chipotle, garlic, onion, oregano, cayenne, cumin, salt, pepper)
Cook ground beef and steak in pan
Pork shoulder in crockpot ( vinegar and diet soda)
Chicken in oven after marinade

>>12872246
That's not how it works.
You can only drink so much water to rinse the salt.

>>12873818
That is way too much shit on that "taco"

>>12875024
Is salt bad for you?

>>12875045
In excessive amounts most things are bad for you.

>>12875069
Right but our ancestors ate a lot more salt before refrigeration. And yet most “ salt” related health issues are higher today than back then. Maybe it’s what the salt is on that is causing the problems and not the salt itself

>no garlic
No.

>>12877830
Just go with it

>>12877891
I should have been more specific. Crunchy tacos are a sin.

>>12877901
Here
have a perfect taco instead

>>12868285
No onion?

>>12875041
Too much
Not likely

>>12878595
Almost perfect

>>12866297
>soft tortilla
>coat with refried beans
>add taco meat
>add cheese
>add lettuce, tomato, onion
>pour on hot Ortega taco sauce
>wrap
>sour cream on the side

I've found the trick is adding flour and water, makes the ground beef stick together and fill the taco shell perfectly

>WHEAT tortilla or those boats
>sour cream
>hot salsa
>corn
>cheese
>if ground beef, no spice mix
>if ground pork, add spice mix

>>12879218
Why just why
Please explain yourself

>>12866383
I was thinking about it but I can't decide what peppers to use. I think ancho, guajillo, and arbol but I don't know what others. what flavors make taco seasoning different from chili seasoning?

>>12866989
tongue

>>12872571
she’s like 22 in this commercial....you not familiar with Shawn Johnson?

why do white people put lettuce on their tacos? do they not know about cilantro?

>>12881164
Texture

>>12881174
that's what the raw onion is for while also having flavor

>>12881187
Do you ever see raw onion on texmex tacos?

>>12881205
yes that was my question. why did white people decide to replace two flavorful ingredients with a flavorless one?

>>12879218
God you sound so fucking white and I'm fucking white and corn and I want to punch you in the neck just to hear you weeze. FUCKING CORN
