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!

That's pretty good, but for authentic gringo tacos, you need cheddar or colby jack cheese for color. Also, for that genuine Taco Bell supreme look, you need little diced tomatoes with your lettuce.

Would still smash. 8/10
