Best Barbacoa Tacos Ever | Dutch Oven Cooking

[@latinagirlcat]

Now THIS is the way to make barbacoa! I’m Mexican and I absolutely love how true you stay to our famous dishes! Thank you for showing this to the world!

[@jmhaces]

Seconded. I personally prefer barbacoa made from a cow's tongue instead of the cheeks, but there's no bad barbacoa if it's done properly like this was done.

[@NoppeNband]

Interesting history point, when it comes to "TexMex" alot of things came from old Spain, so the Tejas style things like this gentleman is making is has an much background as Mexican style does. 👌

[@latinagirlcat]

@@jmhaces oooh yes! Tongue barbacoa is good! But I have had some that is really fatty and me personally I don’t like it as much. But if it’s seasoned well, I won’t mind a little bit of fat.

[@wildlifewarrior2670]

The restoration on the wagon turned out great! You're a man of many talents and skills. It looks like a museum piece but being put to use for what it was built for and in the hands of a master.

Kent I love watching what you do. I grew up cooking this way on the ranch and in the fields. We still do it for enjoyment. One things for sure. My daddy didn’t raise no fool. I don’t need electricity and my family can survive if we have to without all the technology. Maybe these videos will help some younger ones learn to cook let alone live without electricity!!! 😂 Thank you 🙏

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Glad you enjoyed

[@jbthor9032]

I enjoyed that Kent. My favorite pepper is the Poblano. One time I was preparing them for a pot of chili but I used the dried kind. I toasted them, removed the seeds, boiled some water and steamed them. Then I pureed them. Man that was the chili I ever made.

[@Keith80027]

I cooked Barbacoa last year for the first time and it was fantastic Thanks for doing this, finding beef cheek meat was the big problem, but it tastes so different than anything else. Had to mail order the cheeks. I cooked my cheeks indirect in my Green Egg for about 5 hours. I do love your Salsa on most of my food! Love the look of your rebuilt Chuckwagon!

The wagon looks great! Though I have to say, It's a little sad to not see the old colors. Will take a little time to get used to.

[@timetraveler6615]

Cowboy Kent, I love watching your videos. This one in specific, because it brings me so much nostalgia with the barbacoa tacos. In South Texas, most people eat this every Sunday with salsa, avocado, and some hand made tortillas. Nothing like barbacoa tacos. My grandfather was an ol’ cowboy like yourself, and brought us up with barbacoa. God bless you for making this video 👍🏻💪🏻

[@cya2163]

[@jeffwooton7138]

[@MtnBadger]

If you don't have/can't get napales (cacti, plural of cactus), Dutch ovens often come with a trivet to use inside to prevent burning/sticking. You can get trivet both used (the good, old kind) or new from places like eBay and Amazon, Lodge offers trivet as well as other makers. Using veggies is a great method but not always desirable or feasible. I make chuck and shoulder roasts all the time and my trusty trivet has served me well. Thanks for the recipe, good quality tacos are a staple around here. As for preventing grit in your food (if you don't have foil), I have a bench brush (you can use a natural bristle paint brush) and I brush the top edges all around the lid before rotating/removing the lid of your oven, this gets 98.9% of the ash and grit of the edges of your oven. Natural bristle brushes won't melt when you touch something hot. For a cover, a small sized oil drip pan from the auto parts store is inexpensive (just a few dollars) and the right size for the job. And you can put it under your car when you're not cooking in the ground!

[@comictrio]

I live in Oregon and there probably isn't a real Chuck Wagon within 2500 miles from my front door. I watched the two videos where you repaired your Chuck Wagon, and I honestly didn't know that they were still used today. I assumed your Chuck Wagon was a prop and wasn't actually still used in the field. Old traditions are the best traditions! Well done.

[@randybrooks7534]

[@hectorguajardo470]

Beef cheeks are great in barbacoa but try adding beef lips to it and it comes out great. In Northeast México the original barbacoa is whole beef head cooked underground. Now that’s good eating. Saludos Mr. Rollins

[@CHICOB4261]

Hey Mr. Kent love the way that wagon turned out! I just got back from 10 days in Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming and boy did I think about you and riding on that trail.
