This video should have 10 million views. I’ve made it about a dozen times. Absolutely amazing! 10 out of 10

[@lynn1505]

Glad to hear this as I am making this today. It looks so good, and easy to boot I have to try it.

[@armandopina8529]

love you guys together. great synergy. you ladies need to take this show on the road

[@jong2359]

"I was going to use my teeth." LOL, that seriously made me laugh.

[@heleneckard4119]

Ooh. This looks so good. Can’t wait to try!

[@TrueHero123]

I have made this recipe and this is another home run. It's easy to make and most of the ingredients are staples that you already have at home. That pork was even better the next day with a side of scrambled eggs. And those pickled onions, they go with everything. I was even eating them straight out of the bowl.

[@elainjones9442]

This looks yummy I'm try this recipe thanks for the recipe

[@rhaehodges]

".. grass clippings." Lol I hear you Bridge. May we soon have a video of oregano comparisons? Thanks ladies. Keep it up!

[@kareninalabama]

My sister once gifted me with some dried oregano buds that had been handpicked by her Greek coworker when she made a trip home. And let me just say: wow!

[@armandopina8529]

Mexican Oregano is VERY strong. not really oregano but Spaniards thought it was.

[@terrierickson439]

Made this today. All I can say is, mine turned out just like this! Delicious!

[@fredcole6391]

Great idea using the potato masher.this recipe looks delicious

[@madthumbs1564]

I'd think a pastry blender would work better. - Also works great for egg salad.

[@hollym5873]

Love These videos. Thanks

[@virginiawimer8064]

Looks wonderful!

[@bayouburner281]

Love this show❤️

[@reginaschwartz4524]

Definitely I will make it, looks great

[@cece9145]

Best recipe, ever! I have made it over and over again, so many times! I suggest doubling the recipes for the toppings! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@pedintx]

I can tell that this is going to be a new favorite of mine. Thank you so much. Paul

[@braydonkolton292]

I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any help you can offer me!

[@justusjaziel2340]

@Braydon Kolton Instablaster ;)

[@braydonkolton292]

@Justus Jaziel thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@braydonkolton292]

@Justus Jaziel it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out :D

[@justusjaziel2340]

@Braydon Kolton Happy to help :)

[@daveeddy2402]

Cannot wait to make this!!

[@staceyvaas1210]

Made this tonight for Cinco de Mayo! Very delicious 😋

[@darryldrax606]

Looked delicious 😋

[@rickblackwell6435]

Wow. I made this last night. 10 out of 10. Delicious. The onions and sweet hot sauce were perfect accompaniments to the rich pork. Well done.

[@garymeise673]

That looks amazing I can't wait to make it

[@stevecaranci2463]

You lady's are awesome keep up the good work

[@MexicanMaul]

Julia’s had me saying, “Not one, not two, not three, not four, but five… “ all week throughout the day. Lol.

[@amalgamator2]

With the internet or in Mexican market - annato is easy to find. I’d like to see that ingredient used.

[@josephineroe8424]

Well, if you have, then put it in. She clearly said they were only using tomato and bay because annatto is HTF in some places. If you have it, yes, obviously you should use it. It adds more color than flavor anyway though

[@melaniebrantner6844]

Delicious !!

[@jojomontgomery7119]

I made this today and it was delicious. Outstanding flavors, be aware that the prep took me an hour. It's definitely a project.

[@RyanABC123]

Did you spend 50 minutes on your phone and 10 minutes cooking?

[@asalucas]

Wow!

[@jillbrooks4738]

First video for me. Loved it and can't wait to make it for my family! 🌮🌮🌮

[@frankierosalesjr221]

Love your recipe 😍 tacos look amazing, would you try an Al Pastor Recipe??? I've been in search for a great one and I find myself always doing way to much ingredients, thank you.

[@pourattitude4206]

I actually do have easy access to annatto here in SoCal markets. What recipe changes would I make if I use it, and how much would I need for a batch this size?

[@ejohnson3131]

They tell you at 1:53. They’re using tomato paste instead of anatto, so tomato paste obviously! 🤦‍♂️

[@pipe887]

Neat!

[@mamabearC879]

Thank you.

[@angko-pe]

I actually happen to have anatto seeds. How much should I use?

[@otsoko66]

I use a lot -- about 4 tablespoons, ground into powder -- add it to the oil when you add the oregano, and skip the tomato, and reduce to 2 bay leaves. Otherwise if there is a Mexican market near you, they will have 'achiote' - a small package of anetto seeds ground into a paste (just ask for it, they'll have it).

[@EnPeeSee]

I wonder if this recipe would work with beef chuck

[@user-yi3so3ox1e]

I made it last Sunday. Better the next day. I took a few tacos to work and got rave reviews . I used Mission Street Tacos flour tortillas. Get the grocery store to cube the meat for ya 😉

[@user-yc4fp6ij8l]

Why high over was it in

[@leooram1959]

I like how I dont know any mexican that knows so much about mexican tacos, and I am mexican..

Wistasheer? How do you get WI-STA-SHEER from WOR-CHE-STER-SHIRE?

[@strawberryoes]

I CAME TO COMMENTS FOR THIS TOO. I'm glad I'm not the only one completely flummoxed by this pronunciation.

[@patmercer8591]

@@strawberryoes Thanks for letting us all know how truly shallow you are. Who the hell cares?

[@josephbenassi9697]

Omg that looks good , will have to try it soon senorita’s muchos gracias me amore’s.!! 😉

[@semco72057]

I would like to make that dish and see how it turns out for me. I spent two years in Thailand during the Vietnam War and ate food there and in other Asian countries, but never spent much time in Mexico.

[@jessieleon4355]

I have no idea what I did wrong. I cooked the pork at 300 degrees for 2 hours and it came out super tough. I took a few bites and threw the rest away.

[@ejohnson3131]

That’s happened to me with a Chile Verde recipe. The pork chunks that I thought would be tender after baking them for a couple hours were dry and tough… Try braising them then throwing it in a crock pot with the sauce.

[@EricValor]

I would also put in some sour cream to dull the heat (and because I love sour cream and will invent needs to put it on food) and top with cilantro to go with the fruity flavor (and because I love cilantro and will invent needs to put it on food)...

[@pnwesty7174]

Achiote paste is easy to find.

[@IzzyTheEditor]

It is, but it's dull and tastes like crap.

[@trueblue2774]

Pibil needs annatto, this and the banana leaves lend the distinct flavor that defines cochinita pibil. It's not hard to find either one.

[@ejohnson3131]

They made it work and adjusted some of the ingredients so it’d be easy for viewers to make, but other than that it was pretty authentic. It’s not like Rachael Ray adding tortilla chips, cheddar cheese and olives to a Mexican recipe.

[@LiliHugoUM]

even if you don't have pib and banana leaves, you can make the most original and natural recipe. there are many ingredients that you can buy in the US. This recipe is a far cry from the original.

[@brobsty1856]

This is probably the best tasting thing I've ever made..

[@ricardocabrera8344]

Get some bread and make yourself some sandwiches. Or a pulled pork burger with these. 10/10

[@brobsty1856]

The wasnt any left 🤷

[@bluu_ice6554]

Pop ya collar!!!

[@Fluxo2]

too bad they charge for the recipes !

[@cm1642]

Citrus based pork tacos? What a completely white way of naming this dish.

[@gregorynowakowski5000]

Clicked on the recipe link and ATK required me to sign up for some BS I have no interest in. You know where ATK can shove your future KZbin Video!

[@Sunshine-bh8ki]

What u could not make tortillas 😂😂😂

[@florascent9ts]

lol cringe at charring the tortillas. those suckers definitely didn't get properly heated. everything else looked great though

[@phil41055]

From Wikipedia: A hyperforeignism is a type of qualitative hypercorrection that involves speakers misidentifying the distribution of a pattern found in loanwords and extending it to other environments, including words and phrases not borrowed from the language that the pattern derives from.[1] The result of this process does not reflect the rules of either language.[2] For example, habanero is sometimes pronounced as though it were spelled with an ⟨ñ⟩ (habañero), which is not the Spanish form from which the English word was borrowed.[3] A lot of people (including myself in the past) pronounce habanero incorrectly, but I'm surprised that ATK fell into this trap, considering their brand is being pedantic.

[@josephineroe8424]

I don't know if it's a hypercorrection thing or just a case of people tending to repeat what they hear others saying, but I wish people who know better would politely correct people who do that, because it really can be annoying. Or añoying.

[@otsoko66]

@@josephineroe8424 My guess: It's probably on analogy from 'jalapeño', which does have the ñ, but which I hear pronounced as 'jalapeno' a lot in English, so you can't win.

[@johannacxiii]

Take away the pork fat then add vegetable oil... Coulda just rendered the fat.

[@allorgansnobody]

Ok... first of all, you can get Goya seasoning with Annato literally anywhere. Tomato paste is weird. Second of all, they need to google the definition of a braise because it’s literally defined by browning meat before doing a slow sealed cook.

[@conorturner853]

You sound like a bowl of fun 😉😂

[@tomsparks6099]

Editing seemed a bit rushed on this or that Julia had to run off to some meeting or something. ( I recommend she take some adaptogenic herbs for good sleep and stress relief). Nonetheless, these Mayan recipes are incredible learning.

[@m.3591]

Put your collar down. You look rediculous

[@kellybrown685]

Your KIDDING right? Whar you are making is not even CLOSE to a traditional Pibil.... but, what can you expect from rwo Gringas from the midwest.....

[@satyrsak]

That is probably why they didn't put that in the title of the video.
