Because they don't want to appropriate culture.

Yes, why can't they just make them out of stale kettle crisps and smoresbrod like the eurotrash do on Thanksgivingdag?

What's hard about making tacos?

Overcook some garbage meat and slather it with chili powder and cumin.
Add cilantro, onion and a squirt of lime if so desired.

Corn tortilla soft taco suck. They fall apart and you need two wraps to eat just one or they are a mess.

Helloooo Mr. Flyover. You have to treat corn tortilla tacos like a dirty bitch you're paying half price for and double wrap it.

Two tortilla is standard template. As far back as I can remember.
Although I ate more tostadas as a kid, which are even messier.

Americans can’t cook for shit

>> No.11497920

>>11496357
Same reason they can't make a "good" pizza, whatever french garbage, or chinese this or that.
Availability of ingredients, not knowing the techniques or recipes, and different flavour profiles and preferences. Even most "Mexican-Americans" can't tell you fundamental things such as which side of the tortilla does food belong in? (Yes there is a difference on the sides of them, check the texture).
However depending on where in the USA you are, one can get very good tacos.

American here. We have plenty of illegal immigrants straight from the homeland to cook authentic tacos for us here in California. Lots of authentic Latin butchers to get all your cheeks, lips, heads, and all the other authentic cuts of meat if you want to cook your own. The local Mexican market makes fresh tortillas in-store every day. I can easily buy things like tomatillos, dried chilis, and spices at most markets. Recipes are readily available online. Who has problems making tacos, again?

Because we INSIST on using flour tortillas for whatever goddamn reason. Also we can never get the spices right.

White people keep trying ro get creative with street tacos, it pisses me off. Knock it off with the Kimchi and "locally sourced dry as fuck chorizo." They also cannot make dank, deep, spicy sauces.

I have never had a half decent one in a gringo run kitchen.

Used to get the best tacos ever at this shop some Mexican dude ran out of his living room.

You can get perfectly good tacos in the US. The US is filled with recent Mexican immigrants and they make the same food that they do in Mexico. I live in Brooklyn and I eat good, authentic Mexican food all the time
