The Cooking Thread

Hello tropers. You see, the meager time I have spent here has been most enjoyable. You guys are the dysfunctional family I already had but never quite made me laugh as hard. So, I was thinking, "Rigo, maybe you should give something back to the community". What can I do while being completely stereotypical?

So, prepare yourselves for a foodgasm your tastebuds have only fantasized about in their wildest dreams. A culinary tour de force that will leave you wanting more. This, is COOKING WITH RIGO. And today, he is going to teach you how to make tacos at home. You have been warned

Oh boy, I love American food.

Mexico is in North America, so technically true.

THIS IS THE GREATEST

Or maybe not.

WE SHALL SEE

I can promise you you will change that drawing of a taco for a picture of a real taco made here.

Anyhow PART 1. WHAT IS A TACO.

Simple. Its some delicious shit rolled up in a tortilla. That is all. Of course. You can literally grab some breakfast and roll it up, and there, you have a taco. Now, if you are feeling as fancy as I am doing today, you can fry your tacos and have them take the look you are all used to seeing.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE

@Rigo

I tried to parody that one joke where people call things like sushi, spaghetti and taco "American food", because they aren't very well educated. But since many people like to make fun of people who ma- wait, I'm confused.

If you honestly make a full taco in this thread, I will replace my avatar with a picture of it.

It will take a while, but I am gonna make several. A golden delicious mounds of tacos for you wish you had.

Anyhow, Stay tuned, I will return with the supplies and My CAMERA

mmmm tacos...

I HATH RETURNED

Allright, I have good news and bad news. Good news is, tacos are gonna have to be ready fast, so you guys get your tutorial faster.

Bad news is, my camera was borrowed so all pictures will be taken by my shitty camera phone until the very end.

ಠ_ಠ This. Thread.

Grabbing something and wrapping it in a tortilla does not make it a taco. That's called a burrito.

You need to fold it to make a taco.

American propaganda.

Burritos are simply tacos made with gigantic flour tortillas we call "Sobaqueras". Dont ask why.

Lies. Everyone knows that a taco must either lay flat or be folded. Enclosing it will transforms it into many other dishes, depending on the insides.

Oh, I am sorry. I didnt realize they had invented tacos in..where did you say you live again?

I approve of this thread. I will approve even more if you will eventually make a guacamole-centered thread, I like to prepare it sometimes but I am not convinced I am doing it in exactly the right way.

I live in California. I learned of tacos in Mexico though, so if you even think of playing the nationalist card...

Oh really, I live in Mexico but learned about tacos in Mexico, from family and working in several taco stands. I also actually passed several taco stands on my way here, so one would be inclined to think I would know better what a taco is.

Anyhow, back to the Taco Making.

First, a stack of tortillas◊

And chicken boobs◊

Assumptions. I have a friend who grew up in Italy but knows nothing about Italian food.

STOP WITH THIS TOMFOOLERY

GET BACK TO TACOS

Oh shit. We got a real badass over here.

I guess all that time I worked at that stupid place making corn tortillas, or killing and cooking chicken, shredding beef etc. etc. is for naught, Cause this mofo right here ACTUALLY lives in Mexico. Shit son get down. He has legit creds. Buy this man some tanning lotion.

I will admit defeat though... if you can tell me if salbutes and panuchos are a separate food stuff or just a sub-sect of tacos. Cause really, I never found out and was to embarrassed to ask.

TV Tropes: Discussing Tacos because of sheer boredom.

I am, I just keep getting interrupted. I am actually working on my chicken as I type.

You will never see a taco stand selling either of those. You will probably find them in more traditional "fondas" past Sinaloa.

Now back to tacos. Due to time constraints I had to get started on the rice too. Now, we are making "Sopa de arroz" as a side to the actual tacos.

Anyhow, back to the Chicken. You will need a gigantic Pot..or is it pan? I get confused with the two terms.

Here ◊

Boil the chicken in there, with garlic◊, onion◊ and assorted spices to your liking.

Add salt when the breasts are almost done.

Then we obviously frequent different parts of Mexico, so good day sir.

So... how about nachos?

They're cool, I guess. Doritos are weird, though. They're like nachos...

BUT CRISPS.
