On the area of Mexico that I grew up in, every morning (or every other morning) you would buy fresh corn tortillas for the family. We’d make a taco out of anything.

There is a macaroni salad (with lettuce, peas, carrots, etc.) served at weddings and special events people sometimes pair it with mole sauce and add it to a taco (tortilla) - the main dish is mole with chicken and rice and beans, but people in my region would not think of a Mac and cheese taco as too strange.

My mom also used to make a canned tuna mix (mayo, tomato, onion, lime, salt and pepper) that we would pair with a tortilla and it slaps. I’ve feed this to people from the US and they came back for a second and third taco.

We also would pair a rolled up tortilla with soups (chicken, beef, fish) and used it to push the veggies and meat into a spoon while taking a bite of the part that got souped up.

Corn goes surprisingly well with both sweet/savory (mole) and salty (meats, etc). I’ve never thought of pairing it with PB, but I can see how it might work. If you were referring to flour tortillas, those tend to have a slightly sweet profile, so it seems it could work.

That sounds pretty good

Sometimes they do serve a purpose. While I don’t see the point of a “reactions” only YouTube channel since they get repetitive. Sometimes you wonder how people took a certain episode of your childhood anime or some episode with an interesting plot line like the red wedding. With that said, channels with no commentary and all “uh hu” or “that’s right” as the most useful additions from the “hosts” are trash.

I feel like a lot of small shops now (especially restaurants and convenience stores) charge for using a credit card in a manner that wipes out any benefit from “cash back rewards”.

To me the bigger benefit is that a card that is opened many years ago (pair on time) gets you a better credit score. This will net you much better deals throughout life for major purchases like a car or home (if you are lucky enough to still be able to afford one).

Could be a double edged sword, just make sure you don’t miscalculate and end up with “twice the taste no calories”.

The saddest part is the beefy 5 layer burrito being what people that worked at Taco Bell would order and ask for it grilled for a reasonable cheap meal to now resulting in “WTF is there any ground beef here? WTF is there real cheese? Are these ‘beans’ safe to consume?”

Edit: my friend who previously worked there when in college asked if it was even beans on the thing…

Unless you are selling the house (which still means you have to buy another one…) it’s paying for unrealized gains which the rich fucks making the rules tell us is so unfair whaaaa whaaaa whaaa (insert child crying noises here)

Reminds me of the “chmod 777” crowd at work. Goddamn it.

Machines will do exactly what you tell them to do and is the cause of many software bugs. That’s kind of the problem, no matter how elegant the algorithm, fuzzy goes in, fuzzy comes out. It was clear this very basic principle was not even considered when Google started telling people to eat rocks and glue. You can’t patch special cases out when they are so poorly understood.

So naive person, OP that is.

But then my fellow Latinos will call you “el bucanas” it doesn’t have the same ring to it.

I would say the largest loss for a non English speaker is not having the full context of the method and variable names, as well as the comments or API descriptions within the source code. My friends from Mexico all mention English is a requirement on basically any university offering computer science/engineering.

Edit: you can always use google translate, but that will inflate the time required.

Christmas gifts unless you actually communicate and confirm what someone wants (which based on my culture can be seen as rude) seems so pointless. Just buying short term garbage for the sake of “giving”.

Sorry for the delay,

Added some descriptions in case someone runs by this and is not familiar with some of the items. Keep in mind that this is what I was familiar with and does not necessarily represent what everyone experienced under the same dish name :)

Some of what I grew up with is already on the usual suspects list, but maybe there will be a new one here and there:

1. Tacos: Soft corn tortilla with anything on it. E.g. at home you could do an egg with salsa and call it a taco.
2. Tortas de Lomo: Pork back/loin/shoulder thinly sliced and included with onions, tomatos, avocado, sour creme (slightly different than american sour creme but similar). In my area the buns were either steamed before adding the ingredients or placed in a grill press like Panini. Meat could be replaced with: Cheese, chorizo, steak, etc. but pork was the most popular where I grew up (area was known for raising pigs).
3. Tamales: Corn dough filled with one or more of: beef, pork, chicken, cheese & jalapenos, etc. Steamed in dry corn leaves.
4. Pozole: Pork based soup with Hominy (not the same flavor as corn). Topped with lettuce/cabagge, radishes and lime juice (optional oil based chili sauce).
5. Menudo: Grease beef based soup (generally tripe and other internals). Topped with some freshly diced onion and lime juice (optional oil based chili sauce).
6. Enchiladas: Oil & chile fried corn tortillas, filled with potato or similar. Topped with cabbage and dried crumbled cheese.

Some of what I grew up with that is slightly less popular (in the US at least) but are likely available in some US restaurants (or many in some states):

1. Chiles Rellenos: Pasilla or poblano peppers filled with cheese or some other item (e.g. chicken), surrounded in shallow fried egg mix. Generally paired with rice or in our case a tomato/onion homemade soup.
2. Taquitos: deep fried corn tortillas (rolled or folded), filled with potatoes or some other ingredient. Topped with lettuce or cabbage and paired with pickled onions, carrots and salsa.
3. Enfrijoladas. Watery/oily bean dipped/fried corn tortillas. Filled with potatoes/cheese/chicken, etc. Topped with cabbage and dried crumbled cheese.
4. Coctel de camaron y pulpo: Shrimp and octopus with diced goodies (generally, tomato, onion, cilantro, cucumber) in a red savory sauce/juice (tomato, ketchup, clamato, mandarin, chipotle, or other ingredients. depending on who prepared it).
5. Pescado empanizado: Breaded fried fish, paired with rice, beans and a cole salad.
6. Mojarra dorada: Fried fish (similar to tilapia I think), paired with rice, beans, salad.

Some items that are popular (and yummy when I’ve tried them), but not very common in my region:

1. Sopa Purepecha (sometimes called Sopa Tarasca): bean based soup with fried tortilla strips and sour cream and cheese toppings.
2. Chiles en nogada: Poblano or Pasilla chiles, generally filled with meat and topped with a nut sauce and pomegranate. Not super familiar with them growing up, but heard about them.

Some items that I mostly had at home, although I’ve seen it in restaurants from time to time

1. Corundas: Corn dough steamed in a corn (green) leaves. Served halved and with sour cream, cheese and salsa (sour cream could be omitted).
2. Picadillo: Ground meat, with potatoes, carrots and whatever you had at hand (corn, chickpeas, etc) in a broth to make a tasty soup. Could be finished with some lime juice and hot sauce (the bottled kind).
3. Caldo de res: Beef bone with some meat on it. Boiled with veggies, and generally at least 1 corn on the husk (split in pieces).
4. Caldo de pollo: Similar to caldo de res, but used chicken and chicken bones instead. Compared to chicken noodle soup, it is less salty and more mellow. Could have some small amount of rice added in to the bottom.
5. Albondigas (meat balls, but very different from what is known in US). Very similar to Picadillo in terms of veggies, but the meat was packed into balls with some rice and egg to keep the shape.
6. Frijoles de la olla: Beans from the pot (generally a clay pot). Had to be the fresh batch and paired with diced green onions, crumbled cheese and maybe some diced onion/tomato. They taste so much different when fresh.

Desserts and drinks

1. Chongos Zamoranos - curdle milk with sugar and cinnamon. I would love this as a kid (now it is a little too sweet).
2. Cajeta de Leche - Caramelized milk. Highly recommend the goat’s milk version. Generally added on top of bread (packaged sliced white bread was fine).
3. Fresas con Cema - Frozen strawberries (for us from the Irapuato region known for strawberries) with Chantilly cream
4. Aguas Frescas - Sugary water with lots of ice and fruit or similar base (popular flavors: Tamarind, Sweet Lime, Strawberry, Hibiscus & Orchata)

Hopefully you will find at least 1 item that is yummy and available in your area. Googling the name, might give you an idea of what to look for. Cheers!

This is the most accurate description here. Growing up in central Mexico I always considered burritos American food. If I had been born further up north in Chihuahua Mexico maybe I would have called them Mexican food. At the end of the day, eat them if you like them and don’t worry too much about what it’s called. Like all good food there is a little bit of influence from multiple fronts.
