Tim Walz’s “White Guy Tacos” Comment Has Spurred A Passionate Foody Debate, And You’ve Got To See It
A taco discussion is heating up on Twitter after Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz admitted he eats "white guy tacos."
Walz's food disclosure came from a sit-down conversation with Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris. The video was posted online Thursday, and toward the beginning Harris and Walz are seen chatting before they sit down for their formal conversation.
It was then that the governor of Minnesota revealed he eats "white guy tacos" comprised of "ground beef and cheese." Harris initially responded encouragingly, saying, "That's okay," and asking if he puts any "flavor in it." Walz responded, "No," eliciting a verbal "oh" from Harris.
Walz's "white guy tacos" revelation went viral on Twitter after he uploaded a clip to the social media site and captioned it, "Listen, I'm just not much of a spice guy."

A debate was then spurred about what exactly constituted "white guy tacos," in part because one Twitter user suggested Walz might have been talking about a walking taco, which is also known as a taco in a bag or a Frito pie.
It's unclear if Walz was referring to a walking taco. Nevertheless, his comments have spurred a passionate discussion about "white guys tacos," walking tacos, and more.
Here are some standout tweets:
It is criminal to use Doritos instead of Fritos. I will die on this hill.
