Your technique of letting the fat evaporate first and then letting the meat get color was EVERYTHING! My tacos turned out perfect! Thank you my friend.

I moved from San Diego to NY about six years, never cooked in my whole life, but I was craving the Mexican food I grew up on so much. All my passion for learning has gone towards cooking for about a year now, specifically Mexican food. Mostly taqueria style, trying to mimic my many visits to Tijuana and spots like Roberto's and Santana's. I've learned a lot from this channel so I just wanted to take a second and say that. Another great video. Now I just have to learn how to make tortillas but I've never made any types of bread before. I think that may be the key to actually pulling the whole thing off myself. The store bought kind are not the same here.

I feel for you, but there is definitely a way to make it at home. For flour tortillas, try to find Selecta Flour. That is a good flour to make tortillas in the states. Maseca is what you can use for corn tortillas, but I'd prefer the fresh corn dough. But most of those are at Mexican or Latin grocery stores. Selecta flour makes great breads also, I have a Mexican bread named Birotes video coming in the future. I wish you success at your home cooking journey. Thank you.

Great video. This is straight-up backyard cooking. Keeping it simple and not overcomplicating it. The best places have the most simplist menues and ingredients. The directions in your video are great. Anyone can do this, and they can use any meat they want, cook it to the degree of doneness that want and add what ever toppings they want. You just provided the directions and foundation for a great meal! Well done brotha!

I have friends that have Taco Shops. They use Lawry’s season salt, granulated garlic, pepper, and knorr beef bouillon mixed and put into shakers. I don’t know the exact amount of each but shouldn’t be that hard to figure out.

Great video! I love good Carne Asada and like how simple your recipe is. Chuck roast is perfect with high fat content and it always goes really tender when cooked for a while. I plan to follow your recipe on my griddle but will use Adobo seasoning for the salt and garlic then follow the rest of your plan. And ....thanks for a great video presentation...nice job!...especially when your bite is so good you can't hardly talk!!!

If I need to feed a crowd of 50 should I still use the beef chuck like you suggested for the steak tacos because chuck doesn't look like what you have. Any suggestions trying not to break my pocket 😢
@CookingwithKirby5 ай бұрын
If I had to feed that many people, I would mix beef and chicken. I would buy 12 lbs of beef and 10 lbs of chicken. But you would need about 20lbs to feed everyone. Tacos with sides should be good. Chuck steaks/Diezmillo de res is what I used in this video. You can use Paleta de res/beef shoulder steaks (no fat, very lean). Flap meat/Arrachera is top cut, so that one is pricey. Not sure what your budget is, but Chuck steaks are decently priced anywhere from 2.99 to 4.99 a lb. Mix in some boneless chicken thighs for 1.99 to 2.99 a lb. Hope it works out for you.

might as well treat yourself to skirt, flank, or flap meat cuts if you are making your own asada

I was just given a huge bag of ripe limes, they could be mistaken for lemons. So good in marinades. I have always used skirt steak and have never cubed up the meat and I'll have to try that with chuck. If I were to ask a butcher, about how thick is ideal?
@CookingwithKirby7 ай бұрын
1/4 of an inch is good, but most grocery stores cut it to about a 1/2 inch. Limes make some good marinades.
