10 ways to ruin a taco

  In Mexico, tacos are more like good friends than just a typical dish. That’s why, like any good friend, we treat them with love and respect, and we are willing to defend them against any wrongdoing committed in their name and against them. Today, we present ten injustices done against tacos by some people who didn't understand the concept of tacos. Basic principle: a taco consists of a tortilla, ideally made of corn, and a filling. WITHOUT A TORTILLA, THERE IS NO TACO, is it that hard to understand? It's a #cheesetaco #muchwow #foodporn #foodgasm #foodtrip hahahahaha nothing good ever happens after 2am :)))) A photo published by Joe Ramos (@laxusdreyahr) on May 1, 2014 at 11:12 PDT Basic principle, take two, here we go again: a taco is made up of a tortilla and a filling. WITHOUT A TORTILLA AND WITHOUT A FILLING, THERE IS NO TACO, really... there is no taco! when ur out of crackers but really need that soft cheese fix #cheesetaco A photo published by Brenna Kutch (@bkpdx) on March 21, 2016 at 6:18 PDT   Alright, let's not be close-minded; if there are no corn tortillas, flour ones are welcome and the filling, well, this can be substituted with some less elaborate food, the taco is a highly valued dish for being practical, but is this?! Seriously?

Easy cheese taco.

Usually, to crown their daring, they also give a “very creative” name to their work; for example, SushiTaco... what is it? Neither one nor the other, but the exact opposite. Behold, the bite-sized crispy sushi rice taco! 📷: @chefmarcmarrone #forkyeah A photo published by Thrillist (@thrillist) on July 5, 2016 at 10:01 PDT This is beyond words. Not only is it an offense to the taco, but to millions and millions of years of evolution. Did they not get the memo that, thanks to fire, we can ingest soft foods and it's not necessary to chew shells, clams, or crustacean pincers?

The next image does not show a taco, but a complete offense to the palate and the digestive system.

This boy needs lessons in how to fold a burrito. #godmadehimspecial #burritotaco #toomuchfood A photo published by Olivia Garcia (@babyog) on April 30, 2014 at 7:22 PDT And finally, the worst of sins: pretending that a taco can be made in a basket.
