The Easiest BARBACOA & MENUDO Recipes - My Favorite Mexican Restaurant Combo Meal

[@nathanalber1477]

I’m watching this at 3:56 in the morning, I want that bowl of menudo next to me like it’s a body pillow! That’s comfort food my friends.

[@mandakaylittle]

Arnie, you need to make a cookbook! These recipes need to get captured!

[@ArnieTex]

My book will be out late next summer, wrapping it up this month, tnx

[@allenferry9632]

When my 72 year old brother was dieing of cancer all he talked about was wanting was menudo. We drove around Santa Ana calif one Sunday until we found a hole in the wall in a garage in a neighborhood where we stood out like a pair of raisins in a bowl of oatmeal. It was great. One of my fondest memories.

[@dianag1835]

Thank you so much for the barbacoa recipe! I'm originally from San Antonio and since moving to Colorado over 20 years ago, I have yet to find a decent barbacoa in the Denver area. Thanks to you, I can stop searching and start making my own at home.

[@CarlosHernandez-ey3yd]

Your sister is a natural in front of the camera. Beautiful familia. Saludos y Feliz Año Nuevo!!!

[@sabbyct]

Your family looks seem like really fun, genuine people.

[@robertpalmer3166]

Just made my first batch of barbacoa for Christmas morning. Smoked it with mesquite for a couple of hours and then into the cast iron for about five hours. If I knew how easy it was I would have made it long ago. Happy Holidays Arnie.

[@christianoliver3572]

Sounds great!!

[@sincereyoutubeapology]

Nice

[@quikeism]

Wow sounds delicious, I just got a smoker, would you mind giving me your recipe? Did you cover the meat for those 5 hrs? What temp did you use?

[@robertpalmer3166]

I smoked it on my homebuilt rig which is roughly the same dimension as the Weber Kettle. Fire on one side, meat on the other. My recipe was nothing more than seasoning the meat with standard BBQ rub. Salt, pepper, garlic. Approximately two hours of smoke. Then in a covered, cast iron Dutch oven in the oven at 225 for about five hours. As far as I can tell, it would be pretty hard to screw it up. @@quikeism

[@kelianegonzales4187]

My mother in law taught me to make menudo and after years of trying to make it, I’ve now become the designated menudo maker in the family 😂 They’re from San Antonio and taught me with the menudo mix and it really does give the absolute best flavor! We also add pig feet in our menudo and all fight over it.

[@josephpadilla8982]

What's the name of the menudo seasoning?

[@kelianegonzales4187]

@@josephpadilla8982 The brand is Bolner’s Fiesta. And on the package it says Menudo Spice Mix.

[@AraceliTorres-om6lp]

I learned how to make menudo from watching my mom cook for all 9 of us…..I also add pork feet to my menudo the bone marrow is what gives the menudo taste so much better……I add 4-5 lbs to 10 lbs of honeycomb menudo …..and plenty of hominy of course…..😋😋😋😋😋

[@lupem2675]

Yep it needed the boots but going to do this one.

[@briangleason5597]

Ah San Antonio. Closest to Mexico still on American soil. Not a border patrol agent. 😂

[@arlenep3784]

You and your sister are so cute together. Lots of fun there. What a simple recipe. Thank you Letty

[@gabrielanavejar4524]

I have never made menudo with a powder mix, it looks really good! My mom taught me to make from scratch with the red dried chiles.

[@ArnieTex]

@gabrielanavejar4524, the powder is as authentic as homemade, it's real chiles and the other menudo ingredients are all in there too plus you can add more of any of them if you prefer. Pigs feet is ok too if you like that flavor.

[@livst881]

Pigs feet? We use Pata de res or colita de res.

[@DianaBueno2327]

Leti!!!! I love how comfortable you both are on camera. Thank you both for these great recipes! I'd love to see more colabs!

[@DerrickLewis-xe8jx]

Everything you make looks amazing

When I saw a closeup of your sisters hands I started to cry. That is hands of my grandma. My grandma knew how to make magic with her hands when maling food... Bless you guys. I wish you guys the best 2024. ❤

[@TheCavemanBrown]

When I was growing up here in North Texas my mom would always make this on Sundays especially during football season. Absolute 🔥

[@marving0mez]

Recently had some menudo with added pigs feet. It was excellent. Another added ingredient was 50/50 water & chicken broth.

[@gloriaescamilla5349]

Hi Arnie I’m from South Texas and my mom taught me to make menudo but we put pork feet and garlic , onion , and oregano or menudo mix , also cominos , peppercorns .

Festia brand makes some of the best spice mixes! I love their Uncle Chris seasoning. Festia Brand with the OG is a great combo.

Fiesta?

[@gruss512]

@@custerranch It's a good brand of seasoning and spices. Check it out. Look for Uncle Chris seasoning

Now I want some menudo 😆 I’m going to go to H‑E‑B to make it and get bolillos too. 🤤

[@stephaniewilson1153]

When my husband and I vacationed for a week in San Antonio we ate menudo every morning at La Tierra to start our day. Pure heaven. It was a culinary vacation we will never forget.

[@WELDER-UP]

“No, this is my menudo!” Lolololol dang Arnie. Your sister is a pistol. Happy holidays!

[@henrytjhie10]

You and your family are the best chefs out there and your sharing cooking secrets with people who might of never discovered them:) It's brilliant

[@mstrt3749]

Lingua is my absolute favorite tacos and Ive just discovered within the past 4 years. Never thought of adding cheeks but now I have some Ideas! Thank you sir!

[@elizabethgutierrez478]

I don't have a roaster, so I just wrap the cheek in aluminum foil and cook it in my tamale pot. As he showed you, it just is so tender. I just discovered his channel.

[@spaaggetii]

Those looked great, as as a rule in my family, you can never have too much garlic, Happy New year!

I have seen people smoke the cheek cuts... man gotta try a combo, smoke it and then use your reciepe. nice

[@kalebbrown5916]

I’ve never wanted to try menudo until this. I want to try everything I’ve seen in your videos. Cachete and lengua are already favorites of mine!

[@shaunwalsh8993]

Arnie when i go to the local Mexican market chain and I go to the butcher counter I ask for lengua and cheek and they always give me chuck roast. I've been told I need to go there in chefs clothes

[@TurtleDelMar]

What! I never seen the powder mix! How much more easier! I was always taught dried peppers boiled blended Strained and then added and also patitas in the menudo

[@momellis4796]

Happy New Year Arnie, to you and your family! Thank you for sharing this fabulous recipes! I’m going to try cooking it here soon!❤

Definitely had amazing barbacoa during thanksgiving week at Butter's BBQ in Sinton TX. They only make it on Sundays.

[@Banannna228]

My dad made the best menudo and I got the opportunity to make some and get his approval before he passed away but I really really wish we would have been able to make it together just once. I regret not cooking with him very much. He was a grill master and a ceviche king too. I miss him. Cherish all the moments with your loved ones in the kitchen. ❤❤❤ Much love! Thank you for the wonderful videos.

[@ashleyviveros6200]

Looks delicious. I need your pozole recipe next!

[@issac82983]

Try adding pata de puerco to that and notice how the broth becomes rich and velvety, plus you get all the flavor from the bones. I'll let you slide this time for adding grano to the menudo 😂

[@tonyguzman9097]

Mijo, I bought some Chihuahua Smoked seasoning salt at Wheatsville COOP here in Austin! Hijo de la Chihuahua I love it! It's a finishing salt, I think you could just sprinkle some of that on the salsa like I do or on the barbacoa or the menudo! Try some Guarrontee you will like it! I cut it with some regular sea salt cause its strong smelling! There it's the Herbs & Spices brand, couldn't find it online there's several others, can't recommend them but try them if you like! I've used it in tamales and guisadas, if you don't have a smoker?
