Episode 1211: Always Time for Tacos, Rick Bayless "Mexico: One Plate at a Time"

Whether in high-end restaurants or humble homesteads, the corn tortilla is the canvas on which Mexico creates some of its most classic cuisine. Rick shows us three styles in Mexico City - mouthwatering steak tacos al carbon, colorfully garnished bistec tacos a la plancha and stewed tacos de guisado - before stepping through lessons in the perfect at-home masterpieces.

Don't cheat on yourselves: Even when they are really diverse and all varieties of tacos are amazing, we Mexicans dont eat tacos every day, they are a dish for the afterparty, after a concert, for an out to dinner night, etc. There's literally thousands of Mexican dishes you can taste every day without repeating, and tacos are only a small part of all of them

[@joelsandoval2059]

So you mean kinda like burgers for Americans?? You don't cheat yourself thinking otherwise

[@lucilletabbutt6703]

I don't care. I really ever get to eat Mexican and if I can find a good taco it's all I want to eat. I wouldn't judge the f*** out of you about what you want to eat American

[@noraherrera2311]

Your videos are incredible well made they should be a Netflix show love the love your pouring into this videos

[@huffbrau]

Just got back from my first and glorious trip to Mexico City. Blown away by the incredible food scene...your recipes and techniques are so true to life and representative of the food scene! Thanks for your enthusiasm, insights, tips and most of all, sharing of recipes!

[@bradcampbell624]

It is so refreshing to see these episodes again and their traditional use of ingredients and cooking styles. Tex-Mex is fine, but that really isnt a fair comparison to authentic Mexican cuisine.

[@toolrocks10]

Tex mex or any southwest Mexican food does not compare to Mexico city food.

[@leedoss6905]

I ate a giant bowl of that type of squash the other day steamed with Knorr tomato bullion powder topped with ghee. Best squash ever.

Saludos a mi chef favorito. 🙏🏻

[@hellhound1389]

I make a stew of chicken, peppers, and onions then serve on corn tortillas toasted on a pizza stone. I then top with Colby jack cheese and a very spicy chile sauce. MY FAVORITE🤤

[@nasonh4324]

Always a fan on when Rick says gralic has a "papery skin". ... and tacos.

[@SallyRose-oi5dp]

Now watching you cook this show is good watch a lot of different Mexican food 😊❤❤

[@amya284]

Carne asada tacos concilantro y cebolla cruda always my favorite

[@daphnepearce9411]

Hmmmm, skirt steak tacos are sounding better and better to make this week. I've also have made the salsa de molcajete twice already. I love these simple yet extremely tasty recipes. Keep 'em coming Rick, we love them! Thank you!

[@cmcull987]

I watched part of your live show. Thank you for inviting me! I am growing to love Mexican cuisine. What are the experiences and reactions of other people in Mexico. How does the food go?

[@conywitherspoon5355]

Rick you need to come to Mazatlán, Sinaloa to taste our cuisine. Tacos de camarón capeados o tacos dorados de camarón en Col. Pancho Villas or Tacos Dorados de Esquinapa or tacos in general. Menudo Blanco, Pescado Zarandiado, Ceviche, Aguachile and the list go on. Eating in El Quelite is a treat.

Taco Tuesday! Thanks for uploading these

[@roxanneviews2]

Hey Mr. Bayless I been watching you since the early 2000s since one Plate at a Time on PBS . Back then your intro showed parts of Mexico and a lady making Huaraches you eventually made the recipe on pbs is there a video from then of the Huaraches you inspired a person here in Arizona to put it on the menu from this video that I'm speaking of I would appreciate if u can point me to that video since it inspired a business

[@rociomondragon8673]

Tengo unas ganas de ir a mi México Lindo y Querido a comer unos ricos tacos. Gracias por tu video 💖

[@Hermetic_]

Yo también. Pero tanta gente me ha dicho que es muy peligroso. Es esto verdad o pura 💩?!

[@SallyRose-oi5dp]

Rick wish you a happy new year 😊❤

[@Bagooda]

Delicious! Thank you Chef!

[@shannonleete6579]

Can a casuela be used on an electric cook top, or just strictly gas flame?

[@jilliemc]

Make mine medium -- steak, that is!

LEAD CONCERNS ME

[@Mrs.Arado1980]

I love tacos! My mom and my Nana made the best tacos. Mexican tacos from Mexico are better lol.

[@daphnepearce9411]

My mom wasn't the best cook and made tacos with Old El Paso Way taco seasonings with ground beef on hard shell tacos. I wish I could get my family more interested in Mexican cooking other than Taco Bell. Groan! Luckily my husband and I love Mexican food, so we eat it a lot.

[@Mrs.Arado1980]

@@daphnepearce9411 agree!! Keep trying. Taco Bell isn’t real food lol.

[@jasonfransella1241]

I get a "sorry page not found" error when trying to visit the Grilled Steak Tacos with Salsa De Molcajete link in the description. I also can't find it on the season 12 recipes page of the websites.

[@melaniefreisinger1048]

What are the Mexican names for the skirt steak, the inner and the outer? I know one is arrachera, . the other is lomo?? But I don’t know which is which

[@terricorcoran9905]

What was the name of that peanut and chicken taco? That looked really interesting.

[@vitorweber3237]

Had to look it up also! It's called Encacahuatado

[@terricorcoran9905]

@@vitorweber3237 Thanks!

[@deenzmartin6695]

i wanna smoke epazote

[@josequintero5476]

I always see them just take a tortilla and scoop up some meat with it.

[@frankofudrucker2201]

Do you concern yourself that some diners cannot tolerate the taste of cilantro?

[@AE-zq4ut]

Leave it out. Problem solved

[@wandac396]

Then don’t use it.

[@ednasepulveda9778]

i would prefer you eat from where you lead, just a follow through. meaning we will eat from where you eat,

[@danziegner]

I dunno’, we do enchiladas better in San Antonio and tacos better in Austin. Better ingredients north of the border, flour tortillas, milk and cheese, chili con carne, etc. 🎉

[@toolrocks10]

I'm sure you've had great tacos. But no taco anywhere in US or other cities in Mexico can compare to Mexico city tacos. Most of the KZbin videos only show a few places. In reality there are hundreds of places throughout the city.
