Taco Tuesday: "North of the Border" Tacos

[@matthewgochenaur]

Why has the KZbin algorithm not recommended me any of Rick's videos until 2 weeks ago? I feel like I've been living under a rock. Great recipes, he is fun to watch, there's great production value. 10/10. I really wish Rick had 1 million subscribers or more by now, he really deserves it

[@rickbayless]

Thanks, Matthew. Help us spread the word about the channel, OK?

[@esrevinu.]

I was thinking that same thing just now,... I saw his recipe for habenero salsa pop up and ended up on this video,... have used his Frontega products from the store in the past, seen him on TV,... KZbin needs to fix their matrix lol.

[@randy6999]

Me too, I have all his books and have been to all of his restaurants. But just subscribed today

[@AhaliaQui]

Love this channel so much !!!! Thanks @Rickbayless for all the wonderful recipes you share 🎉😊🇲🇽

[@missabyssinia2293]

I grew up watching him after school on PBS . Just came across his Channel today. I Love this guy 🙏🏾❤️

[@zombie7232]

In a way you remind of what old school food network use to be. Nothing crazy just a great host, making great and amazing recipes. I use to watch a lot of food network as a kid and in the age of streaming and the rise of overproduced media your videos are a nice reminder and refresher. Thank you for all your videos 🙏

[@mrpiccolo23]

I agree this is a great channel.

[@amyhollingsworth16]

This is one of my very favorite gringo/gringa taco filling recipes. It's packed with amazing flavors!

[@davidatovar]

Don't tell him what he's doing wrong. 😉

[@jesshellaaa]

He is the most underrated chef I’ve ever seen

[@mariocisneros911]

I don't think so ..we know he's is a great cook for the last 25 years

[@noesepulveda6794]

Underated????? Rick is a legend. Just cause he's not yelling or insulting others like other chefs.

[@kajemi2]

He won the first season of Top Chef Masters.

[@TheDubDoubt]

This guy deserves so many more subscribers and views. Great channel

[@tormentedsoul7852]

I agree... this man is very accomplished. [love the thumbnail]

[@rebanosagrado7u7]

totally agree

[@emmaociee]

What a fun Taco Tuesday!! I love how I can pick up little tricks (like the brush in the molcajete) along the way.

[@EchoSixMike]

Classic 1980's Midwest family taco night tacos. The only hot sauce choice we had was Tabasco. Putting the boxed shells into the oven to crisp them up. Still enjoy getting together with family for "taco night." Thanks Chef.

[@1jugglethis]

And hoping you weren't late to the table, and got stuck with the broken shells!

[@charleyu5506]

these tacos have nothing to do with the midwest stop being culture vultures

[@MrSupraman15]

So many tips and tricks this man had taught us. He is the everymans cook.

[@miketabacco5436]

This is miles ahead of all the recipes from the at home dads and Mexican maids ya see everywhere in utubes

[@gregoryscott7088]

Yes you are bringing back memories of childhood. When Mom said we were having tacos, I was never late for dinner.

[@chivooo6451]

Gregory Scott you never had a real taco

[@joshuamarsh7098]

@@chivooo6451 dude millions of Americans grew up on this style of taco. I’ve been to mexico and southern cali numerous times and have eaten authentic tacos and love them. But these tacos will always have a special place in my heart and still cook them from time to time because I get a craving for them. Just because people enjoy this Americanized style of taco doesn’t mean they haven’t had the real thing or like more authentic styles of tacos. You can dig both of them

[@scottrowe533]

I grew up in a very gringo suburb of Syracuse, NY, many years ago. Taco night was always one of my favorite dinner experiences, though I honestly don't know why (maybe because I got to assemble my tacos the way I wanted them). But my mom did indeed use what we would now call 80% ground beef and the McCormick brand seasoning packet. Years later, I found myself living in Phoenix, AZ, for a few years and got to experience some of the best Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine imaginable. And while I now live in the Mid-Atlantic region, I still adore a plate of authentic tacos - though now I prefer the 'al pastor' variety - with all of the extras. Thank you, Rick!

[@dibdab0]

I like how he assembles the tacos overlapping

[@clintodom7612]

I cooked the ground beef as recommended, then added a can of diced tomatoes/green chiles, and added a can of thoroughly rinsed black beans for the filling of a Mexican casserole, and it was freaking amazing. My wife took a bite and got that look you get when you want everyone to know how good something is. She said she had never eaten a casserole with that much flavor. Disclaimer: I used one T of Chipotle powder and one T of regular chili powder in place of the two T ancho powder because I didn't have powdered ancho. I ate thirds on this it was so addictive! Great recipe! Rick is the go to on authentic or updated Mexican dishes.

[@nikitennison1072]

To die for...old school tacos of fond memories

[@sillysallyceli]

Growing up New Mexican we did ground beef tacos all the time but never used the packet but pretty much we used the seasoning he used except we would use New Mexican red Chile or red Chile powder or use jalapeños or Hatch Green Chile Also we sometimes would add other vegetables like potato or corn Another version I loved was when added green beans with tomato sauce sounds weird but it’s so yummy great for stuffed sopapillas 🤤 Omg I got to make some 🤤

[@erikellis1418]

Viva la Nuevo México!!!

[@damaris2963]

Wow so smart when you use the brush en el molcajete, your Tex-Mex tacos looks so good

[@panchovilla5767]

@James clark He is going to eat them tacos, not you! ..its his kitchen,so he can cook as he pleases.

[@danielm4114]

Been watching you on PBS for years Rick, keep killin' it

[@teedub1990]

Metal tongs on a non stick skillet is giving me the chills every time it scratches the bottom.

[@MrSupraman15]

Like this man's videos so more people can learn to make real Mexican food

[@mrpiccolo23]

Just made this... irresistably good! Made flour tortillas according to Rick's other videos in addition. Thanks Rick!

[@rubensilva1710]

We also addes diced potatoes

[@myhappynest6125]

I was hoping Rick was going to fry the tortillas. Love tacos 🌮 I

[@twooldfartsinanrv7137]

Yes, must fry the tortillas.

[@jillionairess]

I was hoping he was gonna fry the tacos!

[@ChezJohn]

That looks amazing Chef Bayless.

[@denniswaske8705]

sometimes there is just nothing better than a simple taco

[@pennygretch]

When I make these, I flavor the meat with the juices from the salsa that I had made......Don't need soupy salsa for tacos, but the mixed juice makes great flavor for the meat......Also gives the meat a way better texture......You of course ,cook the meat til the liquid is almost all gone...………..Oh, and I NEVER use crunchy shells...…….Always softened corn tortillas...………(Flour tortillas is a sacrilege as far as I'm concerned.)……….I don't put cheese, but I definitely do put guacamole.

[@deadbzeus]

¿Tu es mexicana?

[@blipblip88]

I love the fact that his video set is a basic, sort of small-ish to normal-sized, non fancy kitchen like most of us have (who actually cook) in his own home. I have a few ways I make tacos too that may interest Rick.

[@AhaliaQui]

Made this recipe . Followed exactly It was oh so delicious!!! All recipes I have tried so far are easy for me to make. Texture and taste always the best I’ve made when I follow your instructions. Thank you 🙏 😊🎉

[@Snake-filledChimp]

An American classic kicked up several notches, looks awesome, Rick! My mom always made the low-brow version with good ole' seasoning packets, and often she'd throw in a can of black beans to make it stretch a little further. I always loved taco night.

[@charleyu5506]

this has nothing to do with america, look at all of those ingredients. this is mexican food made by mexican immigrants living in the US

[@timanctil8225]

We always put in a little more seasoning and a can of refried beans to make it go further.

[@davidb4935]

I am kicking myself for never going to any of his restaurants when I had the chance 😩

[@DavidBrowningBYD]

This might not be historically accurate because I was a child, but I still remember the excitement in Rochester, MN, in the mid 70s, when the first taco stand opened up. Seems that was about the time we started getting tacos in school lunches, too.

[@patriciahuffines1902]

Fave food Mexican. Fave Mexican chef ? Rick Bayless

[@mattyslicks]

Ah, the childhood staple amplified by Rick. Im making these tomorrow or today as it's 2 AM. This channel is gold.

[@GrandpaCanCook]

Rick, Thank You with all the super authentic and more exotic tacos it is nice to see something more like the taco I grew up with, in Southern California. I live in Australia now and it is hard to find a corn tortilla that isn't one of those folded corn chips. We have a few companies that make really great ones, but they are small and not carried in many stores. All the best.

[@roboman2445]

Grandpa Can Cook I grew up with flour tortillas, the true American tortilla lol

[@zoolunation596]

Well done sir, from the presentation to the preparation I'm very good in the kitchen ,and on the pit , grill etc.. it's not too much I haven't done, or seen, but your professionalism,and confidence had me press that subscribe button . I am looking forward to Future videos.

[@Melissa-gz1wg]

I love this guy! Its so funny how he describes taco shells "U shaped" and "crunchy ingredients" for the top...he acts like he's almost too good to even say it!! Lmaoooooooo!!!!!!

[@sharkcitywarrior5485]

Wow thanks chef, this recipe is a life saver !! My wife loves the packaged seasoning and I hate it because it has so many ingredients in it and now I can recreate that flavor with all natural spices I'll definitely recreate this rendition next taco Tuesday

[@deathsanimation8701]

Made tacos tonight. You influenced this. Corn tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, lime, and shrimp cooked in cornrstrach, Adobe chili powder, garlic, onions, lime, red peppers for a touch of water. Salt a pepper to taste. Thank you for what you done

[@nelsongalvan2178]

He is right about Cumin. Way different and way better if ground up yourself versus already ground up.

[@joshuabonnelle6527]

Chef Rick it's been months since you did a taco Tuesday or any other video that I can find I watch your stuff over and over again hoping to learn something new every time can't wait to see what you come up with next

[@1jugglethis]

I could "actually" smell those tacos as you were playing them. I may have been having a stroke, but it was glorious anyway. I do often miss my mom's old "taco seasoning tacos" from time to time. Especially right now!

[@danwilder7945]

I had a package of taco seasoning in the pantry just in case. I threw it away when it passed the expiration date, must have been a decade. Love your recipe., reminds me of my youth here in Texas but with cheddar cheese. I have a twist that even my El Paso family love.”Turkey Tacos”. Brown a pound of dark meat turkey ,season it until it has the color of beef”heavy”. Add a can of Ranch style beans and heat thru until it drys a little and serve. Rick I know I’m breaking a handful of rules but there will never be leftovers. Cooked your huevos Mexicano for my wife last weekend, Quote”best eggs ever”.

[@goofball8399]

Wow! Great job! Looks amazing! Keep up the great videos Mr. Bayless! Always a fan. 👍

[@oeff7744]

Cool! I didn't know you had a KZbin channel. Love to watch you on PBS. I hate taco shells, thanks for this

Great launching point to get hooked and move on to more complex☺️

[@djwinchell]

He is the best of the best chef!

[@strapsmcclellan3246]

Rick, I grew up with you -- My late father and I would watch you on tv as much as we could. We cooked from your cookbooks together :) There are so many more videos you've made that are more 'authentic' (South of the border, obviously) and that I've made, but this one has a funny "hit home" type of feel. What inspired me to make this comment is that the final presentation you made in this video looks almost comically unlike you. It was a little sloppy, a little not-so-picture-perfect --- which is actually PERFECT for this style of taco. I don't know if you did that intentionally, but either way, it seemed right. Much love, and thank you for all the recipes and inspiration throughout the years. May be somewhat obscure/random, but your pork cooked in banana leaf with wax chilies and plantains is a regular crowd-pleaser I've made.

[@Alex4SiliconValley]

I just ate some Alaska Tilapia Fish Tacos. I flour the fish and lightly cook in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I lightly fry the corn tortilla in Olive oil too. Prepare with Chili Picado made of diced tomatoes, avocado, onions, cilantro, and one serrano pepper. Yummm…They where great. I like to make Corn tortilla Mozzarella Cheese Quesadilla’s this way too. Lightly fried in Extra Virgin Olive Oil for flavor.

[@christopherhumphrey]

I love this channel. Fantastic food! I've been looking for a restaurant style ground beef taco recipe on KZbin and haven't found one like the places in Ohio. It's a mild taste without much spice but with lots of flavor. Do you know how to do this? I've heard it's from cooking in it's own juices all day. I just love the flavor.

[@chimpchimperton]

Gotta have that cilantro, tho!

[@DannybFlat01]

cilantro really ties the room together!!

[@pixyrosejes7133]

Agreed

[@ginakelly11]

Definitely going to try the recommended spice of chipotle! Yum! Appreciate your time.

[@mattbrooks1302]

"A little bit of sour cream..." LOL he put a fuckton on those. Love Rick Bayless, just thought that was funny,

[@TartanJack]

Oh my. Nearly my Dad's recipe from the mid-50's in Southern Cal. Thanks for the fresh spice recipe. Will try it next. Always felt guilty using the packet. One granddaughter always asks for my tacos every time she eats here. How do you feel about deep frying the tortillas... still soft but hot and nice and greasy?

[@jamesnorton7601]

You got a hand licker right there! And I like it!

[@avgperson25]

i kept on smiling throughout the video cause i cant complain about any steps, it all looks so freaking delicious!!

[@HorTyS]

That valentina hot sauce he's got is pretty good. A really mild sauce, but it's super cheap and has great flavor.

I love taco Tuesday!

[@tormentedsoul7852]

** NEW SUB I saw the name... and I was like that must be Skip's brother. He mentioned on the show that his brother was an award winning Chef.... so I clicked. I am so glad. Those tacos look absolutely delicious. I just started making my own taco/fajita seasoning. There is so much salt and preservatives in those packages. I love the ancho chili powder that is what I use. I like to try different chili powders. I just read your wikipedia.... wow I am so grateful that you took the time to make this video(s) for YT. Thank You

Great vid Rick,always love them.YUM FROM TEXAS !!!! :) :)

Why not use taco seasoning if they have the same ingredients? And why not fry some corn tortillas. It’s really easy and it adds so much flavor.

Why not just server them on a tostada or on nachos? Adds crunch without using taco shells.
