That just means your family eats child or reheated food or goes to bed hungry.

Next taco night, add a bit of water to your sour cream to make it a little bit runny. Then add a bit of salt, some lime juice and smoked paprika. Is nice.
This is why I prefer low-fat sour cream for burritos and tacos, it's a little runnier. I just throw some finely diced shallots in there and leave it for some time in the fridge.

Damn I would have eaten that whole spread growing up. Late for dinner? more like foods gone
I know the seasoning packets say to drain the fat from the hamburger after browning, but it always leaves it so dry. I never drain the fat out or add water and I let it all marinate for at least an hour before serving. It's so, so much better.
Depends on the how lean of a mix you use too. I use fattier ground beef for tacos (80:20 lean to fat) and drain the fat after browning. I find that with that ratio draining doesn’t dry out the beef at all. The other key I’ve found is to cover the serving dish with the beef, while it’s sitting between being scooped for servings. Seems to dry out much faster if left exposed to open air

What's the green stuff and the red stuff?
Looks like shredded lettuce and red and yellow tomatoes
It looks like broccoli and potatoes but it's probably cilantro and... potatoes?
The cat's just sitting there like "the cheeese tax, the cheeese tax"
Literally just finished eating White People Tacos... so good. The cat is the only creature there with any taste.

Twist: OP lives alone with his cat
Where is dinner at? I will be there for taco night every time.
Tuxedo Batman is so polite, and cute.
10/10 deserves dinner.
Taco Tuesday Tom
Where tomatoes?
Hey, they were invited. Didn't show up I guess.
And on Taco Night no less‽
A white people taco night no less...
I am so gratified to learn that others use this term, too. Ain’t nothing wrong with some hamburger meat in a large tortilla chip with cheddar cheese, but it is most definitely not the same food item as you get from a taco joint. This is one of those home cooking exclusives.
People shit on these tacos but it's a way better use of ground beef than fucking manwich or hamburger helper or meatloaf, or anything else besides burgers.
TIL about manwich and hamburger helper, those look disgusting indeed. Only similar thing we had is 
which was not to bad actually if you add your own veggies.
Yeah that’s a good point. We make some pretty gourmet meatloaf at my house so I might quibble with you on that one. But I am sure there’s some awful meatloaf out there too. Manwch is just… I can’t even. Isn’t it basically dog food you put on bread and call it a sandwich?

I was going to comment the same excitement to someone else who used it above but couldn't think of a good way to phrase it without sounding mildly bigoted.
Hard and soft tacos? How accommodating.
Are hard tacos actually nice to eat? Whenever I see them in movies and such, it seems like the tortilla would just shatter the moment you bite into it.
