So I'm curious, does anyone else have trouble eating some Mexican food due to the cilantro in it? I have that thing where it tastes like dish soap, which messes up some of my meals if I eat out. Don't get me wrong, I love Mexican food, I just wish I could eat cilantro.

Yup, funny thing is that I didn't know it was a thing until recently. Growing up, My dad used cilantro in everything and I'd refuse to eat saying that I didn't like how it tasted. He didn't know about the soap thing either so I guess he thought I was being picky.

Like, I really want to know what it actually tastes like, kinda sucks honestly.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Taco, is in fact, a method of consumption, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, a way of eating. Tacos are not a dish unto itself, but rather another method of consuming a fully complete dish made edible without tools by the tortilla, sauces and condiments comprising a full meal as defined by traditional food culture.
Many Mexicans eat a modified version of a taco every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of tacos which is widely consumed today is often referred to as a separate dish, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the taco method of eating, developed by the pre-Columbian civilizations. There really is a taco, and these people are eating it, but it is just a way of consuming the dish they are eating.
Taco is the delivery system: the act of putting ingredients in a tortilla, folding it, and using that instead of a spoon or fork to take it to your mouth. The guisado is an essential part of every meal, but useless by itself; it can only be consumed via the use of a manipulation and transportation tool. Tortillas are normally used in combination with the rest of the meal: the whole system is basically a dish with tortillas on the side, or a complete meal. All the so-called “Tacos” are really normal dishes on a tortilla.

I've noticed something very strange whenever I try to make homemade corn tortillas. Recipes online typically tell you to use a 3:4 ration of water to masa harina when making the dough. For me, this always ends up making the dough way too dry. I end up needing to use closer to a 1:1 ratio of water to masa harina. Is this typical? I don't think I'm buying a weird brand of masa harina or anything.

They use a 3:4 ratio because if you do 1:1 it gets too loose. so you do 3:4 and then add water in as you knead to get the perfect texture.

That may help any newbies
For me masa for tortillas is like a consistency of a mudpie only with a slightly mushier texture
This lady does let the masa rest a short time after mixing before use and the result shown was pretty nice

I wonder what's the next big mexican dish that's going to be made. I know aguachile was the latest one, that came out of Sinaloa and is now everywhere in the states and all over Mexico. I'm thinking birriamen is next

I'm british, so we obviously don't have a great selection of mexican cuisine to sample. I've made a few recipes like enchiladas, which were pretty great, but I've never made tacos.

Are the ones with the hard, Dorito like shell the American version and the more "authentic" version ones like this >>14803307
with a soft tortilla and just some meat and cilantro?

[Anonymous No.14821502]

Hopefully something with vegetables
But is aguachile really that recent of a creation?

[Anonymous No.14821516]

>>14821471
Yes.

Aguachile is not recent at all wtf. And jap/asian mexican fusion is the next big thing.

It was made in the 70-80s so technically it isn't new but it's the most recent big mexican dish made.

Ah okay, the American version is the one we have kits for then. Is there a good recipe for the mexican version? I'm assuming there's more to it than fry beef- add to taco

That is the shortchanged cocktail right where half of the ingredients never made it to the kitchen
