I didn't even know this was a debate. I've never been to a restaurant that did not put cheese on tacos!

However, it has fiercely divided the taco community:

https://elpollonorteno.net/do-tacos-have-cheese/

https://www.mashed.com/279158/you-should-never-add-cheese-to-an-authentic-taco-heres-why/

While many around the world enjoy cheese on their tacos, it is argued that cheese was never used on authentic Mexican tacos, and as such a real taco does not include cheese. Some "Foodies" also suggest that a taco is supposed to be made up of a small number of simple ingredients, so as to let their true flavors shine through. Cheese can overpower the rest of them!

What say you, goons? Does cheese belong on a taco?

Cheese on tacos is obviously the right choice but no poll so rated a 2.
I also put olives on mine, what are you going to do about it?

no, the mods banned chinatown so rereg guy could post, as he’s sadly the top line on the balance sheet these days. an impossible decision really, ban a beloved and historic poster or the lights go out for everyone. what would you have done i wonder, i really do.

pencilhands however works very hard to bring us these great topics, going so far as to stay in by himself and burn the midnight oil brainstorming after work on friday while the rest of us party and get blitzed out of our minds. thank you pencilhands, on behalf of all of us.

Keep in mind though that if its not made in Philadelphia with a bun from a certain bakery that was only baked on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, its not a real Philly Cheese steak.

Scientific fact.

My cheese on taco preference is just a little, like a little bit of glue to hold the contents together.

Too much cheese can take over and dominate the taco.

However, cheese is not a traditional ingredient in the original Mexican-style taco. It was only when tacos made their way to America that cheese became a common addition. So, technically speaking, Mexican tacos do not have cheese.

We beat Mexico fair and square and made it part of America so Ill put whatever the gently caress I want on my tacos.

Technically speaking, if Mexicans dont like it they should stop scrambling across the border by the thousands.

As a brown :ese: person whose blood type is 70% tacos and refried beans, who doesn’t put cheese on tacos? I mean, it’s authentic to do so.

:same: when my mom makes tacos, toppings are olives, cheese, homemade red sauce, lettuce, and peas; yes, peas. Peas are great on tacos.

What do you call cheese that isn't yours? Nacho Cheese.

I bought my taco shells from Walmart with a Taco Bell brand sign stamped on them. Somehow cheese isn't the least authentic portion of my taco experience. Cheese, salsa, and guac are all good options for tacos.

For real, though, next time you chow down on some tacos, try some peas on ‘em.

Or don’t if you’re not a peas person. Just enjoy dem tacos how you want :frogbon:

When I get 'real' Mexican food, I just mix it all together and slap it in a tortilla anyway.

Beans and rice, chilli verde and all the pickled veggies you can give.

Chorizo queso also, gracias
