my go-to midwestern flavor is what we call midwestern tacos

-pound o' beef
-spice packet
-water
-ortega taco shells
-shredded cheese
-pace picante sauce
-sour cream
-tomato (optional, duh)
-lettuce (optional, duh)
-chopped up onions (optional, duh)
-if I'm feeling frisky I'll throw some refried beans in a pot as well

my trick is to put shredded cheese in the shell BEFORE you put the ground beef in so you get it melted a little and mixed in with grease. You can still obviously put shitloads on top as well

A midwestern staple. To really set Taco Tuesday over the top, try making your own taco seasoning. I recommend Alton Brown's recipe.

I'm really hoping this has leftovers so we can get a sweet lunch#ack photo of this stuff floating around in noodles with corn, peas, and gravy.

no leftover meats. I actually didnt like the gravy that much so I put a dose on the dog food and pitched the rest. I also didnt have any peas so I couldnt see any future for the gravy. If I had peas I would have mixed it with the peas and leftover turkey.

Since I'm a chef at heart, I usually just wing it with some garlic chowder, chili chowder, and cumin I think. I might look at Alton Brown's recipe next time

one aspect that never struck me as silly until I was a grown up adult was putting tomatoes AND Pace Picante sauce on midwestern tacos. Like tomatoes are the thing we decided to double up on??? GMAFB

[michigancat]

what I'm saying is I'm never chopping tomatoes for taco tuesday ever again

[Cire]

lol

Same. Pace or tomatoes. No need for both

Good call on cheese before meat

I prefer hard shell but have been mostly going nacho on taco night.

a.k.a. “mom’s taco’s”
also, anyone who even pretends to be a taco aficionado knows that Taco Night in America (thursday nights) is > taco tuesday

yes when I do this I make something like a "taco salad"

1) smash a bunch of tortilla chips on a plate
2) shredded cheese all over the chips
3) slather beans and taco beef all over the fuckin place
4) put a little lettuce on it to make it "taco salad"
5) shitloads of cheese and sour cream and pace picante sauce
6) chow down on your salad

Trust, I've been here before, wondering about the tomato on tomato taco, you'll missed those 3-5 diced tomato pieces on each taco, watch. Also this is Taco Bell's fault.

Little taco tip from me to you: purple cabbage. Nice little healthy crunch and it stays good in the fridge basically forever (just cut off the exposed part). Good substitute if you’re not a fan of raw onion.

This is a pro tip.  Taco Thursday is also Nacho Friday or Nacho Saturday (lunch)

My 6 year old’s favorite food is the Old El Paso taco kit, but Mrs. Hamburg uses ground chicken instead of ground beef.

About one every other week Mrs. Hamburg accidentally asks the kids what they want for dinner & the 6 year old pounces at the taco opportunity.

[star seed 7]

Mom's tacos are literally the only thing that I take over when my family is making them and I have since like 10. I am a god damn master at ground beef browning and seasoning packet simmering.

Recently took my taco game to another level thanks to this amazing contraption (pro-tip received from ms 'clams)

I'm calling child protective services

[catastrophe]

Good lean ground turkey has very little of its own flavor and breaks up really well so it’s a good substitute to absorb that taco seasoning. Only downside is sometimes we get a package that smells and tastes like Thanksgiving, which great if you’re a huge turkey fan but I am not.

Never tried chicken before.

[steve dave]

yeah, ground turkey is great for midwest taco night

[TheHamburglar]

It’s ground turkey, not chicken. I appreciate your valid concern to what I communicated, but you can call off the authorities.

Who's going to be the alpha-Midwesterner to post their nacho recipe with velveeta, ro-tel, and cream o'mushroom soup [secret ingredient!!]

[8manpick]

I’m with MIR here

[Cire]

we use ground turkey for everything except hamburgers

oh hell yes. My wife hates that I add the soup even though she can't taste it. She omits it when she makes it.
I tell her it thins out the cheese a bit but i have no idea if that is accurate.

[pissclams]

just use ground beef in the damn tacos, wtf is happening with today's cancel culture

Tell em' clams. Dudes in here advocating for ground turkey by saying it's flavorless. Not gonna cap though, I had a ground turkey phase for like a year when I lived in Boston, then I literally woke up one day and slapped myself in the face for living wrong.
