Closest I've heard of is German tacos. Not from Germany, but from a German-
settled part of Texas.

Even knowing you're a troll, I've got to mention Macaroni Grill's
wonderful Italian nachos. I have NO idea how they make the "chips" but
they're far better than traditional Mexican corn or flour tortilla
chips. The Asiago cream sauce is a taste delight, and the chopped
tomatoes, green onions, and black olives combine to do wonderful things
to my taste buds.

Dang, I wish there was a Macaroni Grill nearby, just writing about them
has made me hungry.

This is interesting.

Would you elaborate on what a German Taco is?

I googled for it a while ago, and as I recall it was a taco made with
summer sausage. Searching now, I found one description -- in German --
which basically says it's a taco with sausage and sauerkraut. The text is
a travel report on Fredericksburg, Texas.

Here's the German text, and the computer translation which Google
helpfully provided:

German Tacos waren Tacos (sehr mexikanisch) mit Sauerkraut und Wurst.
Naja, gab eher so Essen, wie sich die Fredricksburger das vorstellen, wie
das in Deutschland so ist. Ganz wichtig "Kraut".

German Tacos were Tacos (very Mexican) with sauerkraut and sausage. Naja,
gave meals rather in such a way, as the Fredricksburger imagines that,
how in Germany like that is. Completely importantly "herb".

I looked it up a while ago, and got the information that it's a taco with
summer sausage. Looking it up now, I find the information only in German.
Luckily, Google kindly provides a translation.

Was es bei uns in Deutschland alles zu essen gibt ...
