Have you tried spaghetti tacos?

my best bud back in phoenix, used to have the taco/ lunch truck cook make him spaghetti burritos. she often made spaghetti for the little white boys who would not have anything to do with carne asada, carnitas, or tacos de lengua and my friend would have her roll that spag in a big flour tortilla. sounds gross to me, but i’m no great fan of most spaghettis out there.
alas, my dear old friend’s very poor diet and obesity caught up to him in the end. RIP, Brucie!

In fact, I have MADE spaghetti tacos, because my daughters were the right age to have watched iCarly and gotten the idea to try them.

Didn’t eat them though: and once they’d tried them once, they never asked for them again. And this is in a family that regularly cross-culturalizes our recipes. There’s just no there there, if you get my drift. Just, boring and bland.

Seems like such a missed opportunity. Instead of spaghetti inside a shell, why not taco toppings over noodles? There’s already a precedent of sorts with chili spaghetti. But the whole point was a wacky tween joke in the first place, so I suppose it is what it’s supposed to be.

I haven’t, but I’ve seen someone eat a ramen grilled sandwich. It’s where you take cheese and optionally some crispy bacon, sandwich it between two blocks of instant ramen, and cook both sides in a skillet until the cheese melts.

(Just in case you really wanted to test your cardiac health.)

Hmmm. Seems non-tasty.

Hot dog burritos, though? Yum.

now ya done it.
the horrible memories of growing up broke-ass in texas come flooding back. us po’ kids had to eat those nasty turkey weenies on a flour tortilla with only mustard, ketchup or hot sauce (only one!). sometimes, we got baloney to roll up in a tortilla.
yeah. no thanks.

That should really be in a soft taco.

Or just order a meatball sub.

Sriracha or BBQ Sauce is better :stuck_out_tongue:

I was looking for a gif of Gary Busey in Point Break saying “Utah, get me two,” about meatball subs but found this instead; sorry/not sorry.

You can, but it’s not great. Of course I think they should be cooked first, but I guess maybe allowed to dry just a little longer than usual? :man_shrugging:
