That's a really overused non-argument.

Do you know why nobody likes people like you? It's because you spend your time trying to shit on people for enjoying their lives for no reason other than that you like to hear yourself speak (or read yourself typing), and you're hoping that at some point your vitriolic spew will come off as intelligent and cultured and you'll get to feel good about yourself for the rest of the day.

See, you've inserted that into the conversation when that was never brought up here today. You literally posted first with the shit-flinging, trying to give logos points to your argument by bringing up "actual Mexicans" as if you've ever even talked to one about what they think of authentic vs nonauthentic food. You're over here arguing with yourself in a public setting, you came into this thread with a personal problem that is not really related. Please learn to adhere to current conversation for best results when socializing.
My reason for shitting on tastelets is because they, like you, are a net detriment to society.

Tacos are more of a way of eating than a dish made in households, in Mexico there is no day where a family makes tacos as the dish, they instead make a dish (most usually something that does not need a knife to be eaten with) called a guisado, served some tortillas inside some cloth to keep them hot and humid, then each one takes a tortilla, uses the fork to put the food on your plate into the tortilla (beans, rice, meat, vegetables. You also only add enough ingredients for a single bite on the closest part of the tortilla to your mouth) then eat and repeat.

But I suppose that you want the thing Mexicans and chicanos howl about. Tacos as a dish are a quick street-food meant to be prepared by someone else while you eat standing up, they use a lot of specialized equipment that lets them prepare meat in manny ways, asada is grilled with charcoal; adobada is marinated and stained red with spices, stacked as a greek kebab and cooked the same way, tongue and head-meat are kept in steam, sudadero and tripe is boiled and then turned into confite. And usually the meat is cooked, sauces are made and tortillas press and cooked on sight. There is really no quick of making "authentic" tacos yourself, it is possible to make some, but spending so much time on such simple food is a wee bit stupid. There are also "tacos varios" but those are just the street version of household tacos, they have pre-made guisado on Escoffiers, they take a tortilla, add mashed beans, rice and the dish of your choosing and give that to you, the main attraction is always the guisado.

The closest thing Mexicans make to street tacos in their homes is carne asada; Mexican BBQ. take some thinly cut meat marinated in a bit of orange juice, grill it on charcoal, roughly cut it and keep it warm in a pot for people to come and make their own tacos. This is only done for special events, not every day

>Yes, I know it is much more complicated than that

Retard, it should contain half orange juice, half lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and salt. Grilled over charcoal it literally smells and tastes heavenly, like a back alley mexican taco stand manned by a wrinkled abuela or fatass tio in a bloody apron drinking Modelo. Slap that meat hot off the grill onto double homemade corn tortillas, spoon some onion and tomatillo sauce and you know after one bite, even low level mex street food btfo anything north of the berlin wall.

Everyone here is wrong. Every "authentic" taco i've ever had was terrible. Taco bell is even worse. The best tacos are the ones I make.

Though I will admit, trying an "authentic" hole in the wall allowed me to try lingua (beef tongue). Tastes like pot roast, treat yourself.

Food is not a different experience because it has been labeled authentic. The fundamentals of cooking are ingredients and technique. Historical dishes are worth experiencing, but fetishistic views of non- "American" cuisine are just as asinine as considering pork on a tortilla with onion anything but mediocrity. You are not suddenly any less of a boring moron simply because you occasionally partake in a corn tortilla.

Get a mix of cheap beef or pork cuts, tha fattier the better. Ribs, for example, belly, shoulder, etc. Cut into large chunks or cubes and boil in own fat and juices, add lard of respective animal if you have to. Boil until tender. Take out of fat, chip up tortilla sized, refry, add to a tortilla that you also fried, add cilantro, lime, chopped onion, and offer a couple of good salsas

that's only entry level, the more popular mexican tacos use a variety of fresh sauces/salsas. A popular taco around here is "Al Pastor" which is pineapple marinaded pork roasted on a spit over open fire. Look it up on google, looks delicious because it is but I don't know the recipe. Consider coming to Vegas since there's some very good food options here.

I'm not trying to eat the best thing there is to eat every single time I eat. Food is a language. It changes and there's so many dialects. I want to taste them all. I want to know what old Mexican grandmas think is the best way to make barbacoa, and I want to know from old Lebanese grandmas about the secret to their baklava and from someone's babushka the secret to perfectly frying the paprika in your goulash.
Food with character is better than fine dining for general purpose eating. People don't always want the "high class" food and experience.

Three keys to authentic tacos:
1. Tortilla- Best tortillas are corn masa mixed with water and lard/crisco, made into balls and pressed into tortilla shape. Extra points for blue corn and hand grinding corn

2. Slaw/ Rice - Slaw is always better than rice for a taco, but the trick is to use onions and carrots in the slaw, and to use a chili powder based vinaigrette and/or aioli.

3. Proteins - season the shit out of it and cook with high heat for a short amount of time. Seafood can be fried or blackened.

Garnishes include lime wedges, cilantro, white onion, cotija cheese, hot peppers of your choice, salsa fresca, salsa verde, etc.

ay yo

skip the beef

get a $12 pork shoulder or whatever and throw it into a crockpot with literally anything you want, it doesn't matter. Jarritos soda, all of the spices you have, onions, pineapple, orange juice, citrus, lime, sweet stuff, hot stuff, anything.

Leave that bitch on "low" for as long as you can wait. Or less time if you like texture.

Shred. You now have meat for 40 tacos. Toss it in the fridge or freezer.

Make guac. It's an avocado, some garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, red onion, pepper, whatever. Make it how you like it. Just avocado + some basic seasonings and lime juice is still good. Mash it with a fork, because texture is good.


Feeling a taco? turn on your skillet. Warm up a corn tortilla, spoon out your pulled pork directly onto the skillet (reheat + crisp up in pan). Make a mashed pineapple sauce.


corn tortilla, pork, pineapple, avocado, and/or whatever else you like.
