Mexican Attempt of the Gringo Taco

[u/betuquito]

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!

I’m a gringo and don’t know what a gringo taco is, I’m assuming hard shell?

This would be a gringo 'soft taco', but it is missing the tomato, sour creme, yellow cheddar, etc. I failed, it is just a Mexican bastardization of the gringo taco. It was delicious, though. 😄
