White af, but I'd crush a few with less tomatoes and more meat.

6/10

>>17006626
>tortillas aren't even toasted
>gigantic chunks of tomato
>preshredded lettuce
>taco meat undoubtedly seasoned from one of those shitty kits

3/10 you cook like my boomer dad that knows nothing about cooking.

>>17006626
Taco Thursday?

I’ll allow it

>>17006626
ngl would be comfy to eat, but yeah you can do better.

Toast the tortillas, change out the shitty preshredded lettuce and awkward tomato chunks for pico de gallo, and add more beef and some nice chorizo.

>>17006773
I cook like I worked all day and didn't feel like making anything that required too much effort. I can do better, of course, but I want something quick that tasted good so I used a taco kit to make some pretty good tacos without a lot of work.

>>17006927
You could at least toast the tortillas. It takes 30 seconds man.

>>17006626
>protein
>veg
>cheese
>spicy sauce

Looks good, would eat.

>tortilla's aren't cooked

Got to fix that. Heat up a skillet and cook the tortilla for like 10 seconds on each side or so, then pop them in the oven to keep them warm until you need them.

I had tortillas last night.

From Lidl

>>17008977
Look way better than OP's

That cheese is sketchy tho. Cojita? looks weird

>>17006927
But you still thought they looked good enough to make a thread about. This is now a toilet thread

>>17006626
I stopped eating grains :(

>>17010288
...and started eating shit

>>17006792
are u a millionaire?
not one but two meats on a taco?
fuckin moneybags over here

>>17010307
It’s not as depressing as it looks .

>>17010318
Your life or the "food?"

>>17010325
The more depressing my food is , the less depressing my life has become .

>>17006626
lose the 'maters

>>17006626
Wtf are you doing? It isn't Tuesday!

>>17010268
I made a thread saying "It's taco night." I didn't praise my work or attempt to act like I just created the most ridiculous haute cuisine ever. I simply posted a pic to share what I was eating. Look at the catalog and tell me this thread is less worthwhile than half the shit in it.

>>17006640
Thank you.

>wheat
>taco
pick one you texan faggot

>>17006626

>>17006773
Dumb.

>>17010217
>That cheese is sketchy tho
It's clearly some delicious looking cotija. This is the best taco ITT.

>>17008977
>>17010217
just noticed there's two kinds of cheese. the stringy kind is Oaxacan.

>>17006626
>didn't even warm the fucking wheat """"""tortilla""""""

>>17010685
They're warmed. I lightly steamed them in the microwave with a damp paper towel.

>>17006626
>meat doesn't look seasoned
>tomatoes instead of salsa
>cheddar
I think deep down what you really wanted was a cheeseburger

Tacos are not filling enough.

>>17010992
Don’t know about the op , I prefer cheeseburgers .

>>17010668
>Dumb.
Toast your tortilla, cooklet.

>>17010995
Damn, that looks real nice.
Tacos are just meat with a side of tortillas and 'vegetables'. Just what about meat isn't filling?
Maybe you aren't putting enough meat in them?

>>17010652
Wheat tortilla tacos are still tacos. Stop being a faggot.
t. northern mexican

>>17010995
what would you call this?

>>17006626
That's just sad.

>>17006740
No it doesn't.

>>17011488
The God tostada.

>>17011498
A lot of people are being weirdly defensive toward OP's terrible tacos ITT. I'm shocked that more people aren't tearing him apart like in other OC threads. I think it's because his tacos are so terrible that even the fast food posters are on par with his skill level so they don't lash out due to insecurity/jealousy.

>>17011512
Scroll up and look at my lettuce tacos . Then look at the op’s tacos . I think they probably tasted better than mine .

>>17006626
a little heavy on the mater but i see nothing wrong
Looks good

>>17011533
Those aren't tacos. That's a salad.

>>17008977
cabbage? why?

>>17010288
NO

>>17011536
He didn't even toast the tortillas. You see nothing wrong because you don't cook.

>>17006640
/thread

>>17011553
>because you don't cook.
i make my own between two cast irons and a third one upside down on the burner

>>17011594
No you don't. No one defending OP's tacos actually cooks. They look terrible.

>>17011598
If you actually cooked you'd know sometimes you just don't give a fuck and make shit the way you want it to taste... because it's for you and you're not trying to impress anybody

>>17011602
Your shit looks terrible, too.

>>17006626
>>17008977
>>17010995
looks good

>>17011602
Do you post pictures every time you make a bowl of cereal or eat a bowl of ice cream? This is a board for people that cook and if you post a shitty looking taco, people are going to judge it. Your meatloaf looks like Ja/ck/'s bacon explosion and that slaw is a bag of premixed shit from Walmart.

>>17011602
yea no shit but it taste great and it was filling which is kinda my point, if you actually stood all day cooking you'd understand when you come home you're done and presentation matters not

>>17011627
>slaw is a bag of premixed shit from Walmart.
i it's from my garden and cabbage is not that easy to grow because nematodes but you wouldn't know shit about farming or cooking

>>17011338
But I like it cold.

>>17011651
No, I know a bag of premixed shit from Walmart when I see one because I've bought that same stuff in the past when I was just learning to cook. Over time, I realized adjusting the slaw to my taste by making own ratios tasted better and it's also a lot cheaper to buy the vegetables on their own and shred them yourself.

>>17011677
i do shop at waltard but the cabbage and my bells/jalapenos and spaghetti squash are all from my garden.
I've posted pics here for years and some are still floating around, mainly me frying chicken outside at 3am to piss of my black neighbors

>>17011699

>>17011644

is a bag of this stuff

>>17011713
whatever newfag my garden has been on this board longer then you

>>17011729
That's fine if you use the mix and made Ja/ck/'s bacon explosion and have been here since 1970 but that's still a bag of Walmart coleslaw. I'm sure it tasted nice. Just admit it and free you're conscience.

>>17011743
>been here since 1970
no only 2013 so i'm a newfag too

>>17011541
I don't know if you realize this, but you just told us a lot about you by asking that question.

>>17006741
>less tomatoes
Fewer, you retard.

>>17011775
meh everybody already knows who i am

>>17011788
and a sieg heil to you too my Hitler digits getting friend. Quick question, my understanding is that you use fewer when you can count discrete units of the thing and less when you can't. So you would say less rice but you'd also say fewer grains of rice. You'd say less money but fewer dollars. By that metric, since we don't go from 2 to 1 tomatoes, you could say fewer pieces of tomato, but wouldn't less tomato be also acceptable? Actual question, I'm ESL

>>17011541
Not sure about other states but in Baja California we usually have cabbage in fish tacos.

>>17011813
Fewer if it's possible to count
There are fewer gallons of water in the small lake than the big lake. Gallons is a countable unit.
Less when it's impossible to count
This lake has less water that that lake. Water is not possible to count.

Your examples are correct.

This nigha showin off his taco kit and whole tomatoes

>>17011813
less tomato/fewer tomatoes
native english speakers dont know english grammar

>>17011843
eh tacos are one of the few things i like iceberg but i'm a white

>>17011863
The only dish similar to tacos I can think of with iceberg lettuce is enchiladas (on top of them). I think cabbage is only used for crunchiness and lettuce inside a taco doesnt add much but if like it that's ok, just give cabbage a try with fish.

>>17011884
to be honest i never even considered lettuce with fish but we kinda always ate the good cut and sold the rest at the docks

>>17011851
>>17011858
I understand that less tomatoes is wrong because if you can make a noun plural you can count there's more than one and therefore you use fewer. I understand if I have 3 tomatoes and remove 1, I have fewer tomatoes. But in this case where one has cut up multiple tomatoes in pieces, or to make the point even more obvious, if I have 3 cups of tomato purée and a tomato yields 1 cup of tomato purée. If I remove 1tbsp, I clearly have less tomato, and I have fewer tbsp of tomatoes. But do I have fewer tomatoes as well? I haven't removed a tomato

>>17011858
Whutchu mean famalam we speaks it perfect

>>17011858
nigger i could cuss you out in dutch with shit grammar

>>17011936
>i could cuss you out in dutch
and i might have to seduce your mouth with my foot

>>17011936
bro I'm pretty sure if you can cuss out someone in dutch with shit grammar, you can cuss someone out in german or swedish with shit grammar AND spelling. You're some kind of renaissance man, you polyglot you

>>17006626
No, it's borgar night

>>17011926
Way up there, anon said 'less tomatoes.' This is incorrect. 'Less tomato' would be just fine as tomato in this case would be an ambiguous unit.

>>17006929
I miss having a gas stove so much it hurts bros

very good

>>17011982
yeah but the guy correcting him said fewer tomatoes, which I'm arguing is also wrong as you're not removing a whole tomato. If I have an apple and I take a bite, I have less apple but do I have fewer apples? If I chop 2 tomatoes in small pieces and I remove 1 tbsp worth, I have less tomato and I have fewer tbsps of tomatoes but do I have fewer tomatoes? Doesn't seem to make any sense

Just eat a fuckin tomato whole. There's more of that then the fuckin meat.

>>17011798
Respect then. Don't be afraid. Though try to be better.

>>17006626
unfolded burritos

>>17012077
You refer to folded tacos.

>>17011512
Basically there are lots of retards on here.
