[@billypilgrim1]

@@camlock6319 Mmm I've seen cabbage in fish tacos in Sinaloa and Baja but I'm pretty sure that stems from US influence. Carnitas, which is traditionally from central Mexico, does not.

[@kenyatomas86]

I LOVE carnitas with fresh tortillas 😩❤️ My favorite video by far 🙏🏼

[@jskthefork]

First time watching a video with Rick and I really enjoyed it. Love his aesthetic and level-headed straightforward cooking style. My only complaint is that the test kitchen seemed kind of empty and sad; I love the lively atmosphere these videos usually have, seemed liked they filmed it on a Friday after everyone left. Either way, great video! I'd love to see more!

[@karenmellc1558]

Someone mentioned that it was cozy to them. Winter nights when it's getting late, everyone is leaving for the day, you're still hard at work because you love your job so much. I thought it was nice interpretation and so that's how I see it, as cozy! :)

[@justincervantes4734]

I LOVE BA, but nothing makes me happier than seeing a POC cook some close to motherland recipes. Thank you so much! I still love Brad though.

[@DontGoBaconMyHeart]

I knew this was gonna be a good video right from the get go. Partaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

[@nikilambert4446]

I love all videos with Rick. Mexican cuisine is one of my absolute favorites and he's such a warm and inviting host whenever he's making a video plus these are one of my favorite foods ever.

[@narcisisticbudoka8450]

Love this recipe. Hits all my personal turn-ons. Slow cooked pork + Mexican flavor = Greatness

[@AdamGoodson]

Rick is the kind of person that I would love to have as a friend and as a teacher. He explains things so easily and kindly that I wouldn’t need to hear it repeated again. He is absolutely such a cool dude! Thank you for your cooking of carnitas! I am going to make this for my family!!

[@cordialflakes]

I love watching Rick because it’s like watching my grandpa and mom cook. I grew up with ALL the food he makes and let me tell you he does a great job

[@jbmautikjvldrkfwaiugjbvhdfkwoa]

I love this. thank you, Rick. Making it for our party tonight. It's my friends birthday party. His birthday was on the 4th and it is the 12th now but nobody would be able to come if we had the party on the 4th because most people spend the 4th with their families because they have barbeques and whatnot. Personally, I'm feeling a little down on America, but if you want to celebrate, Go for it. Anyway, Rick, looking forward to tonight. Going to make some delish food. I will let you know how the party goes and how the dish is received. Best, Max Addendum, We are actually going to make the pico at 7, because guests will be coming over at 8 and I don't want it to get soggy. So yeah, the fresher - the better!

[@cshockley10]

on behalf of mexico I thank you for not using sour cream on a taco gracias

[@jamalmalik3617]

@@skibbz0r If you like it then eat it. Some people prefer it more 'authentic' but we all have different tastes.

[@mechanicalman1068]

What you should have said was “on behalf of Mexico, you’re welcome”. My god that looks good. I grew up in a very multicultural area and was on a mostly Mexican-American little league team. A friend’s mom made carnitas (among other wonderful things) and though there is lots of good carnitas where I live none has been as good as home made.

i enjoy authentic ones without it, but light Sour cream goes great on a chorizo taco

[@mjz16]

Tortillas made my mouth water. Takes me back to eating a tortilla right off the stack when had to go to the tortillería to buy the tortillas (every other day) . They would take your soaked maíz, ground it up to masa, and put it through a machine that spit formed and pre-cooked tortillas on the other side. They made on ‘em on the spot. Handy when your family, mostly the boys, went through dozens a day. Tortillas you get nowadays from the store can’t compete on any planet. But, they’re “ok” since I’m not about to make my own now. Ain’t no one has the time. I don’t eat meat but I will try the carnitas this way next time I make ‘em for the fam. I think they will love and less babysitting them on my part the way I make them now.
