You are a excellent teacher

[@isabelissimaa]

We would get Barbacoa on Sundays after church tooooo! A memory I haven’t thought of in too long 🥰

Looks delicious, My mouth is watering. Funny I have the same memories with my family back in Brownsville. Thanks for the recipe ❤

[@thefoodiechannel2808]

Hola! We are very impressed with the outstanding teaching that your channel provides. Well done 🤗🤗🤗

[@revchadbrooks]

Yeah - I'm going to make this. I'll do it in a dutch oven on my smoker, rather than a slow cooker. And you better bet I am going to make those Big Red Margaritas to serve with it.

Thank you for sharing. I was looking for an easy beef taco recipe (other than standard ground beef). I notice dependimg on location some have an adobo type sauce but the simplicity of a few added ingredients allows the real beef flavor come out. Just curious how much is beef cheek in your area. In N. Calif, it’s $8.99 lb.

[@stalee51]

What if you can’t find the beef cheek? Would using all roast beef in the same way still be considered barbacoa?

[@UnwashedPearl]

I don't know how authentic it is, but I have made a knock-off Chipotle with chuck roast only that has an amazing depth of flavor. Authentic? Beats me. Lol, when I was a kid Hormel Tamales were the only Mexican food in the house.

No it doesn't taste as good I tried chuck roast. I'm making some now with beef cheeks & cow tongue. Yummy.

[@frankthetank1369]

Don't half step use beef cheeks.
