Shoutout to Taco John's taco salad. Definitely one of my favorite salads!

You in Wscompton Nigga?

a taco salad is really just a big taco if you think about it

>>21504830
the rabbit hole goes deaper... all salads are just tacos where you forgot most the shit at the store .

Michigan checking in... Grew up feasting on TJ's in South Dakota. Can confirm the taco salad is delicious.

>>21504830
why have 3 or 4 small tacos when you can just have one big taco?

Question to you Americans: as an Euro from a country that can actually cook (IE not a Scandinavian one, Ireland or Britain), I don't know jack balls about Ameritacos other than that they're made with mince cooked with a sachet of taco seasoning and served in a crunchy corn clam.
Well, I live in America, my son had American tacos at a friend's house recently and liked them. I want to surprise him with them tomorrow.
Already bought the crunchy corn clams and we've got plenty of mince in the freezer but I don't know what to have as a side. I know the toppings are typical burger fixings (cheese and LTO) plus sour cream and taco sauce but not what to eat on the side. What's a typical vegetable side for crunchy Ameritacos?

>>21504822 (OP)
In the PNW we have a similar chain called Taco Time that also has a nice salad. I'm about the crisp beef burritos and mexi fries (now called tater fries because of woke), though.

Refried beans

>>21505002
>>21505013
Do not listen to this guy. Beans are sacred to mexicans and they even train them to jump! This is why they are called Beaners. Sorta like how Indians are with cows. Anyway, the traditional side for tacos is fondue.

>>21505013
Seems weird for crunchy tacos.
>>21505021
o u!

Why is this board so racist against refried beans?

>>21505032
Why are you? Those look genuinely awful. I'm the guy asking for taco advice. I make red bean paste myself by boiling the beans and mushing them through a sieve, generally leaving the skins behind, yielding an extremely smooth paste. I can't imagine the process for refried beans would be much different considering how smooth they are

>>21505044
refried beans also contain lard and cheese.

>>21505049
I don't taste any cheese in them but they're often topped with them and as for lard, red bean paste traditional has lard in it, too (though I use coconut oil). You whip it with the warm, melted fat (also powdered sugar) after the beans have been sieved of their skins.

>>21505056
How are you going to have that authentic mexishit experiance if you're sieveing out all the bean skins?

>>21505080
>authentic mexishit experiance
Not what the post asked about, tard

>>21505086
Then you makerefried beans with the skin on and fucking spanish rice.

>>21505086
Technically the post didn't ask a question.

>>21505086
Don't be rude.
>>21505080
As I say, I'm going for American tacos and every Mexican dish of refried beans I've had was smooth, anyway.
>>21505092
>spanish rice.
I'll look into that. Don't know what that is (unless you mean paella).
>>21505095
My post did indeed ask a question. And that question was
>What's a typical vegetable side for crunchy AMERITACOS?
If it's refried beans then it's refried beans. Just seems weird with crunchy tacos, is all.

>>21505104
I do not mean paella. It is long grain white rice that is heavely seasoned and cooked with onion and tomato

You can just buy rice a roni spanish rice and add canned tomatoes

>>21505127
would recommend, but do not follow the box. Toast the rice in butter before adding water.

>>21505104
Oh yeah... chips and salsa and guacamole are standard openers, and anything with cream and cinnimon will work for a closer

>>21505127
Oh, I actually "bought" a box of Mexican Rice•A•Roni last week or so. It was free, actually, because of coupons. I'll use that tomorrow.
>>21505131
Will do.
>>21505124
Thanks much.
>>21505136
>chips and salsa and guacamole
Yeah, was going for salsa as a starter. We've got some lemon-flavoured tortilla chips we got cheap that need using.
We usually just eat fruit for a sweet but I actually bought "dessert taco shells" that are cinnamon sugar coated that I'm gonna stuff with ice cream.

Thanks for the help everyone!

>>21504822 (OP)
can't beat a good taco bowl

>>21505008
>crisp beef burritos
crisp beef burritos are the absolute apex of shitty fast food mexican
its rare that i go to taco time, but if i end up near one and need lunch i'll happily obliterate 2 of those things back to back
its a shame their queso kinda sucks

>>21504822 (OP)
Why don't you get one and take your own photograph of it?
Low effort piece of shit.

>>21505056
>powdered sugar in refried beans

>>21505615
Closest that pants-shitter ever got to a "salad". That and the lettuce in his nightly Big Mac.

>>21505764
You are not very smart.

>>21505760
Hey buddy, you can go ahead and post all the selfies with your location metadata in them that you want, guy

>>21504822 (OP)
Love me some Taco John's although since I moved away I only ever get to have them when I come back for Christmas.
