@@theancientsancients1769 I was referring to this dish, tacos, being a dinner staple in the 70s, the first time I had them when I was a child. As was hamburger helper, tuna helper, la choy chow mein from a can, corned beef and hash in a can, sloppy joes, beef stew in a can, TV dinners, and slew of other meals our parents fed us when we were kids. I sincerely doubt the people who raised me gave a single thought to the origin of anything they prepared. Tacos, as prepared in the video, are nostalgic, as it was the only food on that list I actually liked.
Does it taste different with leaner portions? I mean for me it doesnt make to bad of a taco... but for so.e reason especially with hard shells i like leaner portions better
The premade shells are much better if toasted first. We typically buy higher quality shells. Making out own is possible but not always feasible and although we don't mind corn tortillas, we like the crunch of the shells better. The packets has good flavor but you can add even more flavor when you make your own blend.
Thanks for the recipe. Mine came out a little too salty. I was cooking 1.5 lbs so I added extra salt. Should’ve kept it at 1 tsps. Season is good though. Nice smell.
NEVER USE PACKAGED SEASONING! GET all your spices and empty all the bottles into a quart sized container and mix em up. You'll live it so much more than prepackaged seasonings. I refrigerated my spice jar. But I use it on so many things, I go through a quart in a couple months. I have a jar of oregano on the side too I use also for chicken and steak.
Why not? You can read what spices are in there. Try to see how salty it is. And its much much cheaper than homemade. U get 3 completly different kinds, u get 3 flavour profiles...
@@debabade1591 it’s definitely not much cheaper than homemade fun fact unless you don’t own seasonings you most likely have all of the actual seasonings in your cabinet. Also, the package taco seasoning doesn’t even have cumin in it, which is literally the secret to most Mexican foods.
@@Domepeezy yeah if someone is learning from this guy, trust me they dont have a lot of spices at hand. We want people to cook at home, dont we? Its better for everyone and everything. Why not make it easy? And if u dont use them that much(people who learn to cook from this guy) they get stale..
THIS GUY LOOK'S LIKE THAT 1 AWESOME FAVORITE UNCLE EVERYBODY HAS THAT LET YOU TAKE A SIP OF HIS BEER GROWING UP!!!!!!! RIGHT ON BRO ITS SUNDAY BUT F*-IT WE'RE HAVIN TACOS TNIGHT!
What i dont get about this reciepe is the amount of onion and the chicken stock. I did learn something though putting hard shell in the oven is an option... 😅 never thought to do that. Im going to do my reciepe today but try the hard shell idea for fun.
Thanks for your comments! We LOVE onion so we use more than many would and we have actually used beef stock instead of chicken and did not like the flavor. But that being said, if we are out of chicken stock and only have beef stock, we will use it.
I’m going to try making tacos tonight with fresh tortillas, only ever done the hard ones but I’m told fresh tortillas are amazing toasted off, hope they come out good because I’m looking forward to it, has anyone ever done them and any tips would be appreciated
Fresh tortillas will work wonderfully. You can wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes or until they warm through, or you can heat them in a skillet on the stove in foil until they heat through.
@@gfexplorers I did it with a little olive oil and dip in the juice from the mix just literally 30 seconds and they were awsome with Mexican cheese, the mrs preferred the crisp tacos though but I’d definitely do the fresh ones again, really enjoy Mexican food great vid 👍
The link to the recipe is in the description of the video and here it is: Taco Seasoning Recipe: th-cam.com/users/shortsqOAk4fujasE. The recipe is in the description of that video. Thanks for watching!
You do tneed to drain the grease it sgould boil off the grease is just the fat of the beef and the fat is the falvour so you shuldnt really be draining it but if you want to then do it
I'm gonna break the mold here and say fat isn't flavor. Not unless you're hitting that fat with extremely high heat. Best beef tacos I ever had used lean beef that was drained after browning first.
White people tacos 😆 or as my Mexican friends call them...lazy tacos. That being said im all for people liking what they like. I like more traditional tacos but I can appreciate that most of us grew up on these kind of tacos. Just don't be afraid to explore all the great versions of a taco because they get so much better!
Thanks for your comment. These are, like you said, what we grew up on and are not the only taco we make. These are nostalgic and have good flavor, but our other tacos have GREAT flavor. and much more variety in the ingredients.
Making taco shells is a far cry from blending your own seasonings! That being said, we would love to do that someday! We live and travel full-time in an RV and I don't think we brought our tortilla press with us but I will look.
Thanks for watching! There is a link in the description to the video with the ingredients listed in the description: Taco Seasoning Recipe: th-cam.com/users/shortsqOAk4fujasE
You would be surprised at the flavor the chicken stock brings. We have used beef stock and we did not like it. Since you condemned our choice packaged organic chicken stock, we choose not to make our own due to space limitations as we live and travel in an RV.
You would think that the video would be on making the secret ingredient taco seasoning, if that's the star of the show, wouldn't you?? I mean, so technically it is kind of click bait, because all he did was cook up ground beef. He didn't really give you any recipe LOL.
We have used both and like the flavor of the chicken stock best. Try it both ways and see which one you like best. We felt the beef stock brought too much flavor and the chicken stock brought depth but enough flavor to overwhelm it.
Chicken stock has more "pure" flavor. Beef stock has a lot of enhancements, namely caramel coloring, and can sometimes not be a preferred option. I learned this reading Kenji Lopez from Serious Eats. I've done both and both equal tastey tacos 😊
I’m not doubting dudes method but damn don’t that shit look watery as hell he ain’t even show us how the meat look when it was done 😂 you see a puddle of juice on his plate like bro
I TOTALLY MISSED THAT TILL I READ YOU'RE COMMENT AND REWATCHED... U WERE SO DAMN RIIIIGHT!!!!!! I WOULDA BEEN MAD AS FUQUE HAD I MADE IT THAT WAY LOL GOOD SAVE BRO " OR SIS"" CHEERS!@@dillkosher5116
That is one way to use GF, but the gluten-free is what is stands for. Here are others: good food, gone fishing, great friends, good fun, and list goes on and on.
Thanks. Very complete recipe. Will try some time. The only thing I wish you could say how many teaspoons of each condiment so it is balanced outcome and not over on each specially salt
This is probably delicious on its level but dang bro I make alllll my stuff from scratch, skirt steak on the Q, homemade guacamole, fresh yellow corn tortillas fried in oil if I desire. This is the super easy, Karen, step ya game up version so RESPECT, I’m just sayin it could be so much better
There's a reason people make it with white onions. White onions are better raw so u can cook 2/3 of it and use 1/3 as a condiment.
Exactly!!
Such a great comment, this is the secret!
Bingo n make my feet fry my corn tortillas.
That “mmmm” sounded so genuine and natural ❤❤❤
Thank you!!!
I love how people can enjoy our Mexican food even if it has alittle twist to it! Looks delicious as well!
Taking bits and pieces of other cuisines makes for a more varied food life. We grew up on these in the 70s.
@@gfexplorers I didn't know Mexican food in the 70s had influence in the US. Were there many mexicans in America back then?

80/20 is always the way to go love it
Yes, more fat is best for tacos.
Learn that the hard way the lean 7 percent fat is nasty
@@deescott8312 more fat is always better in my opinion, so much more flavor but messy to eat 🤣
Does it taste different with leaner portions? I mean for me it doesnt make to bad of a taco... but for so.e reason especially with hard shells i like leaner portions better
We have used 80/20 and 90/10 and prefer the 90/10 for our tacos. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
The Leaner meat has no B flavor
@@deescott8312 Yeah, it's a trade off of flavor vs. fat and sometimes the 80/20 is the way to go.
@@gfexplorers yes I realize that now
That looks yummy 😋
Thank you!!!
Mmm and everything is all over the place
Thanks!
Love from India! ❤
Thank you so much!!!
Looks really good butDoes it taste the same as the packet
Well, better, actually!!
Do you drain the meat before you serve it???
Typically, we use 90/10 and for this video I think we had 80/20 on hand. Yes, we drain it.
I would prefer to use the taco seasoning envelope than the pre-made taco shells. I agree that the chicken broth would add taste to the meat.
The premade shells are much better if toasted first. We typically buy higher quality shells. Making out own is possible but not always feasible and although we don't mind corn tortillas, we like the crunch of the shells better. The packets has good flavor but you can add even more flavor when you make your own blend.
I like this guy I don’t know why.

Oh sorry im a dumbass I just saw it
Glad you found it!!
Looks really good. I'll give it a try
Thank you, Yolanda!!
This is so wholesome❤😂

Homemade seasoning but store bought shells?
Got to make your decisions. If we had more time, we would make our own shells.
Thanks for the recipe. Mine came out a little too salty. I was cooking 1.5 lbs so I added extra salt. Should’ve kept it at 1 tsps.
Season is good though. Nice smell.
Hopefully it was not too salty to eat. Now you know for next time and you can always add a bit of extra salt after you taste it.

What could you use instead of chicken stock?
Beef stock (we prefer the chicken stock) or vegetable stock. Or, you could simply use water.

Show prepackaged taco shells but no prepackaged taco seasoning LOL come on use corn tortillas
We prefer the crunchy taco shells for our tacos. For pork tacos, corn tortillas it is!
Hell no add good tomato paste !!!
Sometimes you have to use what you have!
The 10 out of 10 points for delivery.

Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
As soon as you see the hard shells you should turn the video off
