She Moved To Norway From The United States And Has Been Dishing About Just How Much Norwegians Love To Eat Tacos
Are you a huge fan of tacos?
Tacos are a very treasured food around the world, as they’re delicious, versatile, portable, and fun to eat. Tacos are so popular, and you can find them just about anywhere, whether it be a gourmet taco at a restaurant or a tasty one whipped up in a food truck.
While many countries love eating tacos, did you know that Norway is one of the biggest fans of them?
TikTok user Krysta Alexa (@krystaalexa), an American woman who moved to Norway after meeting her Norwegian husband, educates her viewers on life in Norway, including what Norwegians love to eat.
One of those foods is tacos!
“You might think it would be the U.S., but after Mexico, Norway is the highest consumer of tacos in the entire world,” says Krysta in her viral video on Norway’s love of tacos.
Krysta then explains that tacos are typically eaten on a day called Tacofredag in Norway, which means Taco Friday!
If you love tacos but would rather enjoy eating them on an exciting day like Friday, perhaps you should ditch Taco Tuesday and bring Tacofredag into your home’s weekly routine.
The way Norwegians like to eat their tacos is very different from how authentic Mexican tacos are cooked and assembled.

“If you were expecting some authentic Mexican cuisine or even something that resembles Tex-Mex, you’re in for a rude awakening,” explains Krysta.
Norwegian tacos resemble something a bit closer to the Americanized tacos you can find in the United States.
Krysta explains that Norwegians like to eat their tacos with ground beef that’s been seasoned with prepackaged taco seasoning, canned corn, sour cream, Norwegian cheese, salsa, and guacamole.
While all those toppings don’t sound too unfamiliar, some people in Norway also like to top their tacos with cucumber and pineapple.
In her viral video, Krysta says she once saw a person in Norway put ketchup on their taco. Then, she says that the way the tacos are assembled is far from authentic as well, as many Norwegians tend to fold up their loaded tortillas almost like a burrito before digging in.
“At first, I thought it was an abomination,” says Krysta.
“But now when my ‘Viking’ asks what I want for dinner, I occasionally respond, ‘tacos,’ and then I wonder if I have lived here too long.”
No matter where or how you enjoy them, the consensus is that tacos will always be delicious.
