exactly 3

>>6338603
1 pot to brown beef
1 pan to fry taco

what's the third

>>6338630
You forgot the pot.

>>6338630
gone. already smoked it

You need to get your hands on some tacoshells, or, find corn tortillas and some veggie oil: fry for about 5 minutes in hot oil until they make a solid U shape. Failing that, get some soft flour tortillas and just make burritos.

for beef tacos: get some ground beef and some diced onions, put it in a hot skillet with some oil, and keep breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks; it will turn into little beef pellets depending on the size of the grind. Just before it's done cooking, add some fresh garlic (or garlic powder) and a bunch of chili powder, a small amount of oregano and a small amount of cumin, and a few dashes of hot sauce.

You can make chicken tacos too: get a pot of boiling water with some chicken bullion (or just use chicken broth) and boil chicken for about 2 hours, until its soft and breakable. Add the same seasonings as above.

Stuff your shells, add some sharp cheddar cheese over the hot beef or chicken, and then top with other stuff like lettuce, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, onion, hot sauce.

stuff face, along with large quantities of watered-down lager.

Pic unreltated, as it is not a taco.

That doesn't look anything like a taco.

>>6338770
he explicitly said "american" taco to avoid autheticity smart-ass faggots like you.

87 pots if you are going for true american. interestingly, only 3 1/18th pans are required to finish the job, although this is assuming you have a raccoon as your sous chef, of course.

happy cooking.

>>6338781
No such thing as an 'American' taco.
Keep it authentic amigos.

>>6338630
Every other type of taco is much better than ground beef tacos. I don't get why people eat them

>>6338932
excuse me mr. hipster, your chai latte is ready. don't worry the beans were free trade and proceeds will be used to free a starving kid in africa.

>>6338950
>beans
>in a chai latte
what??

>>6338770

>corn tortilla wrapped around ground meat, topped with some other things and green shit
>that doesn't look anything like a taco

It's too early for your bullshit anon.

>>6338958
>green shit
also goes by the name of cliantro.

>>6338961

Also goes by the name of green lettuce.

>>6338953

>>6338964
That's not lettuce

>>6338972

You're confused.

Go to bed.

>>6338974
And you're blind. I just got to work, so I'll be funposting all day.

>>6338981
Fuck that looks good

>>6338932
They taste good, obviously.

>>6338950
What is hipster about not wanting to eat a shitty ground beef taco when chicken, fish, carnitas, steak, etc tacos exist. They are all better. I bet you like store bought hard taco shells too.

Tex Mex tacos and "muh authentic" tacos are both fucking delicious. Anyone who disagrees can fuck right off

>>6338999
>I bet you like store bought hard taco shells too.
Why yes I do

Nice trips btw

>>6338964
this guy can't tell cilantro from lettuce....

thx, i chuckled.

How from-scratch you wanna go with it? You can go reasonably from-scratch using beef, flour, tomato juice, various chili powders and cumin powder to make your beef slurry thing and stuff that into storebought hardshell tacos, semi-reasonably by using storebought corn tortillas and frying your own or semi-unreasonably by using maseca or similar instant masa powder to make your own tortillas to fry into your own hardshells or completely-and-utterly unreasonably by soaking, washing and grinding your own maize to make your own tortillas to fry into your own hardshells.

The reason I say the other two are unreasonable is because if you're going for American-style beef hardshell tacos, it seems a silly waste of time to make the shells themselves entirely from scratch.

If you're doing the first option, you'll need one pan and no more.

If doing the second, you'll need two, one to cook the beef and another to fry the tortillas into taco shells.

If doing the third, you'll need two or three pans, one for the beef, one for frying tortillas into taco shells and possibly a comal (a Mexican griddle), to make the tortillas from masa (if you don't feel comfortable making them in the same pan you intend to fry them in) plus a mixing bowl to mix the instant masa flour into dough.

If doing the fourth, you'll need two or three pans, a mixing bowl, a soaking vat, a mortar and pestle and either a tortilla press or a rolling pin.

>>6338770
Why would you choose to get cucked by a Mexican, Anon? They have tiny, Mexican dicks that can't satisfy your woman. You must have a micropenis. I'm sorry for you. It's sad.

>>6338999
>store-bought hard taco shells.
>calling them hard taco shells to begin with.

now now, just because i am not pretentious doesn't mean i don't make my own stuff.

>>6338932

Then fuck off already.

This thread is not your personal soapbox.

>>6339002
>tex mex
>delicious
lol no. Korean tacos yes, even pulled pork tacos are ok, but tex mex? lol nope. shit tier ingredients. even the jack tacos arebetter

>>6340429
That's nice. It's too bad your opinion is shit.

>>6339002
this. i'll take meat, sauce, and tortillas any way i can get them

>>6338999
you're a hipster because you're trying to dictate other people's taste buds. Now, why don't you go hang yourself with one of your ridiculous looking scarves.

>>6338599
These are not tacos,these are folded retarded tostadas. Why murrica why??
Come to Mexico and get real tacos :)

>>6340659
lol...i like this guy.

>>6340677
what part of american did you not understand?

>>6340677
We don't need to go to Mexico to get real tacos. Mexico has come to us.

>>6340687
just...stop while you are ahead....

>>6340716

It's not one guy.

Since that wasn't me, one of the other posts was; and fuck people who can't just enjoy food for what it is.

>not authentic Mexican

So?

If it works it works. The worst thing (cuisine wise) about southern Californians is how they think they're the authority on how to use a tortilla.

It's like telling people how to use bread.

>>6341157
>tex mex
>gud

llol

>>6341166

>reading comprehension
>you

Please tell me you're just Australian and shit posting.

>>6341174
there's a reason why 90% of people prefer real Mexican over tex mex shit.

>>6341181

>>6341181

90% of who?

I'm not even saying I like Tex Mex.

You can do a lot with a tortilla. Yet here we are arguing over what goes on or in it.

Plenty of things do. You guys are acting like putting North American dominant ingredients at all on a tortilla is a bad thing.

It's not.

I love a good, authentic take on things. Yet I don't fucking care if mixing influences makes things better. In fact I prefer it.

>>6341166
>>6341181

Actual Mexican here. Authentic tacos are fucking vile and I can barely choke the things down. American tacos are better in every way. My literal illegal immigrant parents are in complete agreement on this too. The only people who give a shit about 'muh authenticity' are filthy hipsters.

>>6341253
You don't like cow brains and tripe?

>>6341231
Almost every one who goes to Mexico says Mexican food is better, you know why? Because better ingredients, more variation (region vs a country), and better to the source. Mexican food is as varied as Chinese and there's so much influences from intermingling to say that mixing influences is nonexistent in Mexican food. Fusion defines Mexican food.

>>6341253
Now write that in Spanish;)

>>6341253

These pricks think they have an idea about food.

Thank fuck they haven't done this without native north Americans and fry bread.

You know what goes with fry bread you faggots?

Everything.

>>6341281

*with

Goddamn.

The point being, you're arguing over a native staple like twats.

>>6341260

They say Mexican food is better because they went to Mexico, and you did not.

>>6341281
>Thank fuck they haven't done this with native north Americans and fry bread.

>>6341312

This has no mention of muh fry bread.

Being Native American Indian sort of feel for the Mexican dudes. You idiots are arguing over bullshit. We just don't have to put up with it.

>authentic tacos are nasty
Nigga all tacos are delicious
Meat, aromatic veggies and a tortilla is just a godly combo regardless of what else is added.

>>6341332
That's what it is, though. It's a local place.

>>6340677
Because the country is shit

nigger just go find an RV full of Mexicans and order a real taco

>>6339021

That post was obviously about the op pic, which is clearly lettuce...

>>6338972
>>6339021
Pretty sure he means the OP pic

Why would someone put lettuce on a taco though, what the hell

>>6341542
1. read from first to last
2. shove a pineapple up your ass
3. hi, yeah that post was regarding the othe rpic which had cilantro in it like a mofo....you may want to relax your anus rather than try to shoot the pineapple out forcefully.

it'll come out, don't worry....just be patient....

>>6341630
You need to work on your reading comprehension.

>>6341647
you need to put down the vodka, comrade.

Lettuce taste good on a taco
