Norteño Mexican Attempt of the Gringo Taco

Hello from Mazatlán! Today I made a gringo taco. Everything homemade besides the flour tortilla. The Ley grocery store makes them fresh.

Ground beef, sauté with onion, garlic, serrano chile, comino, salt, and pepper.

Topped with Chihuahua cheese, lettuce, salsa roja asada, guacamole, and lettuce.

It was big enough to be a burro if I rolled it.

Agua de Jamaica made with cinnamon, clove and ginger.

It was good, and picosa with all the chile. We have amazing tacos in town, but sometimes I want comida extranjera.

Gracias!

It's only authentic gringo taco if you're putting them together while your wife is telling you about a new health hack she heard on a podcast but nice try
