here’s your bag of shredded “Mexican” cheese with no Mexican cheese in it. You can put it on your “taco” that’s got grey ground beef, watery flavorless red “sauce” that’s smooth because you can’t handle salsa, iceberg lettuce, and a dash of tabasco because you say “you like spice” but what you really like is vinegar. all served on an microwaved flour tortilla that is cold
Beef isn’t even the good stuff for tacos, Pork is where its at
Although i am a bit of an outlier for a pasty white dude; i like scorpion peppers (fruity flavor and heat), make my own salsa with them, can make fresh flour tortillas, and know that lime is both a fruit and a mineral used in processing cornmeal
Edit: oh and i grind my own chorizo (admittedly using a premade spice blend)
Keeping the moisture in the dough as low as possible is key for the flour ones, otherwise they dont keep their shape when you press them and shrink. I will literally do a shake of water off my fingers at a time while mixing dough.
80% the time it isn’t even close to the case

Corn tortillas >>>> flour tortillas for tacos.
And corn = no gluten, which = I can has!
If they’re fresh, absolutely. Off the shelf grocery store corn tortillas kinda suck tho
What do you do for the flour tortillas?

I prefer shortening over butter or lard, myself.
Chorizo and potatoes with eggs 🤤🤤🤤🤤
You forgot the black olives!
Now you’re talking like a midwesterner!!
I think I just had a dissociative flashback.
