Gringo Tacos
“Gringo taco” is sort of a joke name because of lot of non Mexicans first started loving tacos thanks to Taco Bell, which for the record did not invent the hard shell taco filled with spiced ground meat, which is basically what a Gringo Taco is. It’s beefy and mildly spicy and really good. It’s origins are a little fuzzy but it most likely was first cooked up in Texas, where beef was plentiful and Mexican immigrants made the most of what they had at hand.
