It's Friday night guys, and I'm going to show you how to stack the perfect soft taco.
Also, we're drinking tequila. Because it's not Friday night without a little tequila.
Grab a hand sized corn tortilla and get it nice and warm, making it pliable so it won't break on you when folding.
Put a nice spread of frijoles refritos on your tortilla.
>kroger cheese
mah nigga, although I recommend the quesadilla cheese, it's closer to what you'd get at a taqueria.
Slab some nicely cooked carne asada on there. This was cooked with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, fresh cracked pepper, ground sea salt, and some chipotle powder. The smoked paprika make it came out tasting perfectly smokey. Ideally you want to cook it on a BBQ, but it's Friday night and I don't want to get out the grill.
>>7418250
I was borderline with the cheese. Thought about getting some extra sharp cheddar but wanted to hurry and get out of the store, been a long ass day at work.
Throw down some sour cream.
Layer some chopped white onion mixed with cilantro right on top of the sour cream. This is such a great mix, if you've never tried it I strongly recommend it.
Queso time.
This makes layer number five, and we ain't even done yet. Blows your mind, right?
Layer six is some shredded lettuce for that little bit of crunch and refreshing flavor which aids the overall flavor profile given this is overall a very salty dish.

Nom/10
Now we put on some salsa. This is a store bought (I usually make my own pico de gallo but I'm exhausted) and probably one of the better taste wise you can get from a large store chain. I was considering some homemade habanero salsa too but decided against.
And to make sure everything is right in the world, we top it all off with some fresh lime.
Mmmm MMMM, das good looking.
Because it's so packed we eat these in a very particular way. Allow me to show you!
Eat one side.
Always keep your soft taco level. The juices from the salsa and lime will be dripping out and you want to retain all that flavor. I put mine down for visual aid.
Eat the other side.
Eating the first side will push all the goodies to the other end, so your second bite is going to be absolutely jam packed full of awesome.
Finish her off, and with every soft taco we eat, we take a shot.
Get ready for shot time.
I will teach you the proper way to drink tequila.
Place your shot glass on your ceiling. Now, by controlling gravity you pour the tequila upside down into your empty shot glass. People at parties usually freak the fuck out when I do this.
Lick your hand and pour some salt on it. Also, make sure your hand is clean. I don't know where the fuck it's been, you might, but I don't.
Make sure you have your lime slice all ready.
Step 1) Lick the salt off your hand
Step 2) Take your shot!
Step 3) Suck on your lime slice and enjoy your night.
Repeat steps as necessary.
One tequila

Happy Friday everyone.

Glad to oblige, homez.

Chilled to perfection friend.

Thanks for sharing.
quality thread until

and your disgusting pink hand
anyway good OC, enjoy being shitfaced
>i know i am
>>7418449
I'm white dude, it's what my people do.
Shelter ourselves from sun and turn pink when startled or aroused.
What you drinking tonight?
When I was checking out at the store some chick in front of me had some Steel Reserve, but it was the flavored ones; black berry and I think pineapple? Got me curious as hell. Part of me wants to go buy them to see if they any good. The other part is yelling at me for wanting to do it because it's fucking lady beer.
>>7418464
If you're considering buying flavored Steel Reserve... you need to re-evaluate your self-esteem.

>lettuce
>flavor
>>7418555
Maybe if you didn't have the palate of someone with hypogeusia you would be able to taste lettuce. See a doctor, there is help available.
I enjoyed this thread, thanks OP
good shit. thinking of making some tamales and tacos sometime next week
>white people trying to taco
>>7418785
>white people
that's redundant.
>not white
>people
pick one.
Oh god.
So many things wrong.
Please stop making mexican food.
You're terrible at it.
>>7418829
Are you a chef?
>>7418493
This. Also the pineapple is decent, but get 4 loko instead.
>>7418829
Except this is how every Mexican place I go to make them....
I live in San Diego.
Literally under 10 miles from the border.
This is basically Mexico already.
Tell me how I'm so wrong again please, I'd love to hear this.
>>7419064
not that guy but let me help you out, id eat it still but
>refried beans
>sour cream
>shredded sawdust cheese
>lettuce
>no avocado
>no grilled onion
>no grilled chili on the side
that is way closer to a tostada than a taco, I would expect this from a caifornian which is fine but don't pretend that shit is muy authentico
The steak and tortilla looked pretty good though, you take shots like a white boy
nice thread tho
>>7419933
Yo I wait tables at an authentic Mexican restaurant owned and operated by Mexicans and I'm pretty sure that refried beans, sour cream, shredded cheese, and lettuce come standard on a lot of our dishes. Grilled onion definitely isn't, and traditionally people put a chile guero or a chile toreado on the side.
Fuck you for talking shit, let this man get drunk and eat his (at least semi-authentic) tacos
>eating tacos and drinking alone
>>7418341
is that a Surge on your wrist, you like it?
Bretty good taco Op. But i suggest stop being being a faggot memester and stop drinking the tequila with the salt and lime.
And just call it a taco not soft taco like an autist. Just friendly advice
>>7419952
lol please nigger if your restaurant hires white boys which you know you are do not deny it, it is not authentic, you work at a shitty texmex place and not the good kind in actual texas.
Fuck you for pretending to know what you are talking about faggot, I already said I'd eat it, doesnt look gross or anything but it isn't close to authentic.

>>7420036
If your taco has only one corn tortilla, and anything besides meat, cilantro, and onion, you're doing it wrong.
>>7420045
not sure why you quoted me I dont disagree, except avocado is also very acceptable most trucks are too cheap to include it tho
>>7419967
It is, and I love it. Very accurate in all of it's features. Battery life is only about 4 days but charges to full in 30 minutes.

This is one of the whitest, most awkward presentations I've ever seen. Before you presume to teach people how to drink tequila, you might want to learn how to do it yourself.
You're like someone whose only experience of Mexico are the hotels in Cancun where you vacation, but you them presume to understand the country better than anyone else who has skipped your intrepid travelling experience.
>>7420202
This is how people do it down here dude. If you got a problem with the culture go cry on one of your SJW forums about cultural appropriation or whatever it is you kids do.
>Refried beans
Dropped
>Sour cream
Double dropped.
It's a shame, OP. This thread had potential before you ruined it with your shit taste
>>7420264
Not really only faggots, hipsters and women use chasers when drinking tequila
>>7420370
You sound mighty mad, hombre. Maybe you should have some tequila yourself and relax a bit. Or are you too highbrow to let loose a little and experiment with your food and drinks a bit? Food Nazis like yourself are what keep culinary advancement back, because you're too set on what's "traditional" that you forgot what matters most is that it tastes good. Last night tasted great to me. Everything was setup as a side station so anyone could have pick and choose what they wanted on it if desired. Learn to enjoy life a little more bro, it might make you a happier person.
>>7420370
>Not really only faggots, hipsters and women use chasers when drinking tequila
WTF no! Sangrita es muy tradicional y delicioso.
>>7420264
down where? the florida panhandle? mexicans don't lick salt off their hand, that's frat boy shit.
not the guy you're mad at, btw.
>>7420392
But I am drinking some straight from the source Tequila, Jalisco where literally only women and foreigners drink with with meme chasers
man up OP.
How do you know what it taste like if you're being a pussy and masking the taste with the lime and salt anyways.
The tacos look good though
>>7420407
Yea for faggots and hipsters like i said.
>>7420427
You say you want to see me make some pico de gallo?
Well I'm not one to turn someone down. Thanks for the suggestion.
Also had to go grab another bottle of tequila. Pretty much topped off the bottle from last night. I'll finish the new one off tonight while I play some games. Sure do love weekends.
Tomatoes
Used 3. Used pretty much half of everything I bought today. Guess I'll just have to make some more during the week. Don't plan on cooking much tomorrow. Gonna get up at the asscrack of dawn and do some fishing, then drive up to another lake and check out the camp grounds for some weekend camping in a month or so here.
Into the bowl it goes.
Onion
This was a big fucking onion, weighed an entire pound. Use half, and I'll save the other half for later in the week.
Again, to the bowl.
Green onion
Sounds redundant when I already have some white onion in there, but I love onion. I reeaalllyyyy love onion. Likely because onions are high in carbs, it's feeding in to my carb addiction.
To the bowl!
Jalapenos!
Used 3. I always leave the seeds and pulp on, just to get the spice. Sometimes I'll buy habanero for my pico de gallo if I want a little more oumph. I at one point used some meme peppers in my pico too, and while good was a little too expensive. I really want to start growing meme peppers on my balcony but need to find the right hanging pots for it.
Bowl goes it in.
Soap Herb.
Never understood how people get the soap taste out of cilantro, but apparently it's a genetic thing. I sympathize with these people a little bit, they're really missing out on an amazing tasting flavor.
Time to get a mixing.
Looking good.
Looking real good.
Time for the final touches.
Half a lime.
Seasoning.
Freshly crushed sea salt.
Freshly ground pepper.
Garlic powder (which would be fresh garlic but I'm already 5 shots in and getting lazy)
Time to enjoy.
Cheers. If the thread lasts till Sunday maybe I'll actually go all out and cook something amazing for dinner. Who the fuck knows though, could just be drunk talk.
>>7420952
Looks great OP
>>7420989
Thanks bro. Hope your weekend is going chill.

>>7421178
no idea but its 5 $ and its not terrible so i gave it a go
>>7421181
after hitting a few holes into the bathroom wall and screaming at my mom for half an hour i was able to get my autism back under control thanks for the concern nice dog
>>7421181
Hey man it's all good. 100% agave is great, but you need to go with what you got, you know? We all don't live in places where literally everything is available at our fingertips. As long as you're having a good time, nothing else really matters. People all have different opinions on shit, and that's fine. But in the end what really matters is how you feel about it. You're gonna get smashed, so I figure you're going to be feeling pretty good about it, and that's just fantastic bro. I'd drink that shit with you if you were around SoCal. We'd have a fucking great time chillin' and eating rad shit.
>>7421221
thanks mate but my english speaking skills are pretty terrible
got the salt got the lemons(almost blinded my left eye fuck) but the shit goes down smooth and i in my "older" days cant stand strong drinks
cheers mate
>>7421236
I understand what you mean about blinding dude. When I was chopping up those jalapenos for the pico de gallo one of them was juicy enough to squirt right up into my right eye. It's two hours later and I still feel the stinging haha. Glad you're having a good time!

[spoiler]i have 2 other dogs and im not "home" all the time (work)so my parents are in the wind with keeping him
>>7421340
That's cool man. Good on you for taking care of them before they transfer owners. Dogs make the best pets, mans best friend and all that. Where are you from? You say English isn't your native language but you speak it fairly well.

Seriously man. All I see on that shit is "Sanders for this", and "Sanders for that". Fucking degenerate. I'm a Trump man myself. Build wall and MAGA, and all that.
>>7421614
I get that's sarcasm, but I'm too old for that shit. I just like to keep it real. How's your weekend going? Any good plans?
i guess this thread went to shit
sorry op all the best and good luck mate
cheers tho and have a happy one
>>7421628
If you think Trump is at all conservative, you're not that old.
>>7421676
I never claimed he was conservative. If anything Trump is a moderate, but leans more right than left. I really don't want to interject politics into a /ck/ thread though. This should be about awesome cooking, not the upcoming election.
>>7418826
I lold pretty well
OP nice Pico de gallo. In my opinion it taste better with serrano peppers though maybe add a few habaneros you won't regret it.
Well I think all the food looks good.
page 10 bump because we need to keep some OC on the board
