Great review Jerms! This menu is great. The rice pairs with the taco filling so nicely. Jalapeño cheese would be so much better with this. Thanks for sharing dude.
Welcome back my brother. Broke the handle off the Jerms mug on my last camper adventure, or dropped it while I was drunk one weekend. Gonna have to get me a new one eventually but for now she still works with no handle 😂 thank You for making a new video! Hope your weekend has been good. We’ve been getting a bunch of rain in Indiana. Hurricane hit Florida and came up here and swirled for two days basically. But we needed the rain and I have to to go back on the road in the morning Sunday. But I ain’t complaining lol. Also I don’t think I had this menu before think I’ve only had case b. But chipotle Tortilla and jalapeño cheese spread would make this menu even better
Hey brother!! I'm glad you were at least drunk when you broke the mug!! 🤣🤣 This one is great and you should definitely find one and try it! Thanks for always being here brother!!
So with you and Schlee doing a review on the same menu this week I need me some Mexican food 😂😂 only problem is my husband hates Mexican food 😂😂 Great review, thanks for sharing 😊
These are good. I refreshed my memory on them A couple of months ago. It had been A while since I tried one, and I still enjoyed. The FRH does not surprise me, honestly. I just boil on stove these days, LOL. A messy meal is A good meal. My excuse anyway, LOL. I'M glad you ate well and had some fun. Awesome review. Peace, John. As always, cool bloopers!
Yup.... I know what I'm having for supper now...... heading out for tacos! Contrary to popular opinion, Canada has some kick ass taco joints. Stay hungry my friend! 😁
Hey Jerms! Glad to see another video! It is cool to see your reaction to this one! I have tried this menu twice before and it is one of my favorites. Mexican style food is my favorite, so anything like this I love. The amount of filling that they give in this menu is definitely way too much for just two tortillas. I think they should have included another pack of them instead of perhaps the trail mix. Although I know they include certain menu items for nutritional value, but even just adding more tortillas or making them *larger* would have added so much to the meal without adding too many extra calories. And *every* menu is better with cheese spread with jalapenos! It's a shame about the heater. You should try adding some salt to the FRH next time. That really works well! Although the newer FRHs usually work much better than how yours did. I have never had a problem with an FRH that was less than 5 years old. Also, did yours not come with Tabasco sauce? The ones I've had did. The Santa Fe rice has refried beans in it, which is my favorite filling for soft tacos! And my second favorite filling is beef! This menu comes with both! The fact there are two different fillings for the tacos is awesome! You could eat one or the other on the side instead of mixing both, but I think that is the way to go. I definitely still like Menu 24 Southwestern beef and beans better than this one though. Actually, this menu and the old Menu 2 chicken fajita are the only two menus that come close to the southwestern beef and beans. The chicken fajita menu is fairly old. I think it was last made in 2013, but the one I had was AWESOME! You should see if you can get one. And I do agree about the meal cold weathers (MCWs). Because they are freeze dried, they taste SO MUCH better than retort pouch food it is incredible! They also give a HUGE portion! Sometimes I find eating a normal brown bag MRE doesn't fill me up and I am still a bit hungry. Not hungry enough for an entire second MRE, but just a bit more. The extra portions in the MCWs is so satisfying I would never be sad eating one. You should also try more of those sometime! There are 12 MCW menus. I was not a fan of the chicken and rice MCW though. It was just too plain and boring! If they added tortillas and cheese spread to make a chicken and rice wrap, I think that would have made it a ton better! Also, another suggestion I have for you is to eat some of the menus on there own, and then try them with adding your own extras. For example, I put a dollop of sour cream in the tortillas whenever I eat a menu like this. You can also add your own hot sauce or crushed red pepper. Anything like that. I know that is cheating and takes away from the experience, but you are home with certain luxuries available and I think doing stuff like that adds SO MUCH to the meals and makes boring simple meals even better. I loved this menu so much that I would absolutely take it over Taco Bell anytime! And Taco Bell is my #1 favorite fast food restaurant.
Hey CB! I agree that this is a great menu but still not quite good enough to dethrone the Southwest Beef/Black Bean. I always forget about the salt. I have done it a few times and it does work. I get caught up filming and just forget 😆 I always put the rice on my tacos so for me, mixing is the way to go. And yes, another pack of tortillas would be great! I LOVE the MCW's and have a bunch left for review! I've thought about adding my own touches but like you said, it seems to be cheating and taking away from the authenticity. BUT, watching Mark Garno makes me want to try it! He always adds stuff and it's always spot on what he adds! So it always makes me want to try it. Thanks again for always being here and the thoughtful comments! I appreciate you CB!!
I had a cool idea for a dinner party where I'd invite a bunch of friends for a fancy dinner party. The meal would be an MRE with heating pack's. It would be fun to watch people try and rate the taste. BTW ,my friends would find this fun and entertaining ❤.
Yeah, that has worked for me before. I just forget sometimes while caught up in filming. Next time maybe I'll remember. Thank you for watching! I appreciate it 👍👍
I have done that and it does help. But I just sometimes get caught up in filming and forget 😆 Thanks for the comment and next time I'll try not to forget 👍👍 I appreciate you watching 👍👍
I always mix the rice in with my tacos/burritos so it's just natural for me to mix. Goes so good together! Thanks for watching Lester! I appreciate it 👍👍
I thought about that but just wasn't room for the tortillas. Wouldn't have mattered anyway since the FRH was a dud. Thanks for watching Cotzi! I appreciate it 👍👍
I always shake the frh so does Steve. Sometimes they work sometimes they don’t lol how else would you saturate it without shaking it, as ration nerd would say we call shenanigans, shaking it or not I have more success with the salt packet than anything else in American rations. The frh is usually useless for me
When my tortilla splits like that, I use gray duct tape I don’t use gorilla tape because I don’t like gorilla hair and my tacos It makes it kind of chewy that’s OK at least I don’t spill anything on my face use green duct tape if you’re trying to hide in the bushes I don’t call duct tape. I don’t like duck tacos, the feathers get in the way. Besides that duct tape kind of. quacks me up TT tape Taco tape. Yeah.
Finally a US MRE where every item actually looks appealing! Even the orange drink looked inviting! Nice review!
Hey Allan! Yes! Definitely a good one! Thanks for watching buddy!!
That was the first MRE I ever tried. Loved every minute of it and now I’m hooked!! Great review buddy!!!
Thanks Matt! Very good MRE! I appreciate you watching brother!!
Tacos looks great ! I was thinking about making a run to Taco Bell , but it’s. Worth the midnight runs 🚽🏃
😆😆 Can't beat late night Taco Bell runs! The runs are worth it 🤣🤣 Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👍👍
🤣🤣🤣
Great review Jerms! This menu is great. The rice pairs with the taco filling so nicely. Jalapeño cheese would be so much better with this. Thanks for sharing dude.
I don't understand why they wouldn't put the jalapeno cheese in this?? Seriously!!?? But yes, this was great!! Thanks for watching brother!!
Awesome review Jerms
Thanks Marilyn! I appreciate you!!
You can't go wrong with that meal! Great review on this man!! See you in the next one!
Thanks buddy! Couldn't complain about this one!

We definitely needed the rain Chicagochris. I have never seen my pond this low. It's crazy
@@mikekreischerreviews3420 yeah it’s been very dry lately the rain helped
It looked like a tasty MRE. If I was deployed I think that one would be a treat to eat. Nice review. I still enjoy those outtakes 😂
Definitely one of the better MRE'S!! Thanks for watching to the end!! I appreciate it 👍👍😊
Big LIKE and HELLO from Mr. Garry. Hey Jerms….happy to WATCH this MRE from 2019! Great ration meal!
Hey Mr. Garry! Mark is a great dude!! Glad you enjoyed the review! Thanks for being here!
Awesome. The ROCK is back. :) Either that or I missed a couple videos and it never left. :(
The rock only shows up when I've got an FRH 😉
Hi Jerms. I have several of these menus. Never tried one yet. Looks really good. Great review.
Hey Tracy! I think you'll like it! Thanks buddy! I appreciate it 🤝
So with you and Schlee doing a review on the same menu this week I need me some Mexican food 😂😂 only problem is my husband hates Mexican food 😂😂

Delicious 😋 😋 😋
Definitely a good one! Thanks for watching!!
It looked delicious did the rice have grains or was it just mushy
It had grains. And not too mushy. It was awesome!! Thanks for watching brother!!
I hate pulling out too.. 😂
I never do! 😆😆
I had a cool idea for a dinner party where I'd invite a bunch of friends for a fancy dinner party. The meal would be an MRE with heating pack's.
It would be fun to watch people try and rate the taste.
BTW ,my friends would find this fun and entertaining ❤.
That's a damn good idea for a video!! I'm gonna squirrel that away for someday! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👍👍
If the FRH doesn't work well, add the salt to it. Many older ones have aged where salt water is needed.
Yeah, that has worked for me before. I just forget sometimes while caught up in filming. Next time maybe I'll remember. Thank you for watching! I appreciate it 👍👍
@@jermsMRE you are one of 4 MRE channels I watch, keep up the good work.
@@jeremybiwer8756 Thanks Jeremy! I appreciate that! Lots more to come!!
I was going to suggest heating the Tacos up, but that wasn't going to work here was it?
Yeah, had the heater actually worked I could have at least thrown the cheese in. It was still great! Thanks for watching Karl! I appreciate it 👍👍
Add salt to Frh if it isn't activating it will make it work
I have done that and it does help. But I just sometimes get caught up in filming and forget 😆 Thanks for the comment and next time I'll try not to forget 👍👍 I appreciate you watching 👍👍
It's a shame it didn't work could made those tortilla come back to life
@@dave1496 totally. But all in all, it was still great!
Coming over from my really good friend, Mark from Eat carbs Outside!
You?
Do mix it altogether when you're in a rush But it does help and it tastes good
I always mix the rice in with my tacos/burritos so it's just natural for me to mix. Goes so good together! Thanks for watching Lester! I appreciate it 👍👍
Nice review Germs. However, I will say that both the rice and the taco filling both look like something my dog left in the yard last week.
Hay Flash!! I agree about how it looks 😆😆 Thanks for watching buddy!!
I've eaten that meal. My FRH didn't work either. Damn thing. Thanks for the video brother
You'd think we could get ration heaters right?!?! Thanks for watching brother!
you should have put the cheese and tacos also into the heater to make the tacos more playable and the cheese more spreadable
I thought about that but just wasn't room for the tortillas. Wouldn't have mattered anyway since the FRH was a dud. Thanks for watching Cotzi! I appreciate it 👍👍
@@jermsMRE you could have put the frh on the tacos but since it sucked to heat up
Look very good maybe put tortillas in heat so they little warm. Very good meal now I have to try.
Yeah, not enough room in the FRH really to put the tortillas in but it would definitely help! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👍👍
Thx Jerms TACO time.
Heck yes!! Such a great menu! Thanks for watching Rusty!!
Hehe, I'm unintentionally the first view!!! 😁
Our take on this one was pretty much the same!!
@@jermsMRE well as we know, great minds think alike!
@@SchleeSchlee I was gonna try and film and edit something different but just didn't have time to regroup
Second
Thanks for watching Ronald!!
Looks more like a burrito than a taco
Definitely! Completely agree. Thanks for watching!
DO NOT SHAKE THE FRH!!! this is why it didn't work
I'll try that next time! Thanks for watching!! I appreciate it 👍👍
I always shake the frh so does Steve. Sometimes they work sometimes they don’t lol how else would you saturate it without shaking it, as ration nerd would say we call shenanigans, shaking it or not I have more success with the salt packet than anything else in American rations.

It makes it kind of chewy that’s OK at least I don’t spill anything on my face use green duct tape if you’re trying to hide in the bushes
I don’t call duct tape. I don’t like duck tacos, the feathers get in the way. Besides that duct tape kind of. quacks me up
TT tape Taco tape. Yeah.
😆😆 Gorilla hair 😆😆
