Hey there babby, I’m a college student right now and I don’t have a lot of money/pans/time but I really enjoy cooking, could you do a college student special for those like me? I’m curious to see what your mind would come up with.
Life of Boris has some college food suggestions. Sure they're a bit special but useful when funds are running low at the end of the month. I am however looking forward to see what Babish comes up with
Invest in a rice cooker; you can use it for other things along with rice. The most important part is finding recipes for foods you actually like to eat and modifying them to suit your needs.
I'm Mexican and this is one of the best attempts at tacos done by an American. Seriously, he made the tortillas right and we do use all of those ingredients. The chorizo and potatoes combination is actually quite common. The only thing we do differently is putting the Rajas with cream on top of another thing, usually those are it's own taco. And finally, all of those tacos would have salsa on them no doubt, that's perhaps what's rubbing people the wrong way, since we don't use cotija cheese as often with these kind of tacos. Nevertheless, I'm so grateful he used an actual Mexican cheese aunlike many people. Way to go Babish!
Chorizo and potato tacos are such a classic here in México (: Tip for any non-mexican: if you happen to get some chorizo, try it with scrambled eggs, it's a godsend
Chorizo and potatoes cooked into scramble eggs with some corn tortillas was a common breakfast growing up. My step dad was from Michoacan, he made a lot of damn good food but that was always a nice thing to wake up to in the morning.
I live in Norway, so it's fascinating to watch cooking shows from different continents, especially when they make something with very specific ingredients, and I have to google substitutes for half of them. The store closest to me has like red, green and habanero chili peppers, and that's it. All of Babish's spicy dishes require that I fly somewhere :)
@@Dgbygvg you idjit... One it was a joke, two tiny whisk is just one of babish's things so the op was saying having something tiny still in the video meant it is obviously good. Three, authentic doesn't mean much of anything considering you can't make it authentic to every region that lays claim to something so there will always be little bitches like you
Technically, a taco is a tortilla with food inside, which is what this guy’s making here. He’s not claiming to make “authentic Mexican tacos” so I don’t see what the fuss is about. Different palates call for different ingredients, so get over it. Loved the video and props for making tortillas from scratch. The chimichurri looks delish!
Why limit yourself to what fits? That's why you put an empty tortilla on your plate. Whatever falls off or drips out of the one you're eating is just part of the filling for the next taco. Efficient AND delicious!
@@coolamp Ha! No, you misunderstand, maybe cuz you don't have the cilantro soap gene? It's not that we can't taste it, but rather we taste it VERY strongly and it is VERY unpleasant to us. There are many in the world that have a gene that makes the taste of aldehydes both very strong and very unpleasant (there is another gene that makes bitter strong and unpleasant, as well). Since the brain tries hard to associate new flavors with memories, when people encounter a new, unpleasant flavor our brains try to find an unpleasant experience to associate with that flavor. That helps to reinforce "don't do that again" in case the unpleasant experience coincides with danger (like people getting really drunk-sick not ever drinking the thing that "made" them sick again). Smell and taste are very strongly connected in the brain (an evolutionary derived response to protect an animal from a potentially dangerous substance that could be detected by odor, such as rotten food or some poisons). The soapy taste of soap comes from aldehydes. Bed-bugs exude an aldehyde that smells very strong. Therefore, many people with the anti-aldehyde gene associate aldehydes with either the taste of soap or with the smell of bed-bugs, neither of which I think we can all agree we don't want to eat. Cilantro is especially packed with aldehydes, stems the most. No one knows what percentage of the population has the anti-cilantro gene but there is evidence that a significant percentage of the world's population dislikes cilantro, very nearly regardless of cultural background or ethnicity. Its the only ingredient I've found so far that has a website dedicated to its hatred. The "evolved" comment was a derivative of the "bald men are more evolved" joke. A smart-Alec, self deprecating, redirect with a dash of petulance.... :)
Babish is the only guy who can blatantly be sponsored, and not be annoying about it. Like that taco meal kit actually looked pretty cool. Like as long as he stands by what he is sponsoring, I can respect it. Honestly, Babish is one of the few TH-camrs who deserves the 3 million subs, and the success he's been given. Seems like a genuine and chill dude. It's also rewarding to be one of the earlier subs, and watch his viewership explode. I think I first subbed because this channel crossed over with my love of movie pop culture videos, and the TH-cam algorithm (for once) suggested this channel.
Do you have a dishwasher and do you use it as one? (Actual question, a lot of people have a habit of washing their dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, thus defeating the purpose of owning a dishwasher). If you have one that you don't find satisfactory, and you use pods, try replacing them with boxed powder detergent (or gel, but that has some limitations for chemistry reasons) and filling both the main wash and pre-wash compartment. Pods substantially worsen dishwasher performance because they skip a step, while being advertised as though they're an upgrade. I have no idea if any of this advice improves your situation, but it might!

TACO THURSDAY! I dig it. Thank you for another amazing episode of basics with babish, you should do one on sanitation and cleaning/prep!!! Its just as important as the amazing meals you make. also i've totally tried blue apron and it was a ton of fun. I still make the recipes from it cause I saved all the recipe cards :D
Never cooked before, but I made the chicken and steak tacos for my family tonight and they were a big hit! Especially the rajas con crema! Thank you for everything you do and for getting me interested in cooking.
The Good Place has some interesting foods like "Fully Charged Cell Phone" froyo and a literal fountain of clam chowder. Also, some amazing restaurant names. Beignet And The Jets is my favorite.
Having grown up in a Hispanic household, its not uncommon for these meals to have been made relatively often, yet I still love to watch and learn from Babish and have definitely gotten more into cooking not only food from my heritage but from so many other places and cultures too.
I know I'm a year late, but you gotta hold it right. Grab it by the back and top then pinch it closed, no room for the filling to spill out, hand might get greasy though
Hello Babish, I am a Mexican subscriber of yours I love your videos and can't thank you enough for emphasizing the importance of corn tortillas in true taco fashion. I absolutely despise the god-awful "taco" shell they try to sell at the states. Great job and thanks for all the recipes.
@@CREDLACE Pues para tener una tostada primero necesitas una tortilla, así que por la forma siguen siendo tacos (feos y raros, en eso supongo que estamos de acuerdo). Además pensé que te referías más al hecho de que las tortillas fueran de maíz en contraste con las de harina de trigo.
I love that even though I have worked the food industry for 13 years, from fast food all the way to my current job, brined and smoked our own pastrami and pickling our own sauerkraut, and I can still learn at least one new thing in every video.
Literally every single taco video I've ever been on, hell, any mexican food video, there's always the few Mexicans who say *oMG, ThAtS nOT MexICaN FooD!*
Im mexican, and lemme say that, even if some ones really cant be called tacos, this video right here is by far the one with the best tacos ever dude. If it fits in a tortilla, its a taco, thats simple, but its the way the tortilla is made, how many passion this guy put in that meat. Boy, the taqueros of my City would be jealous of this guy.
yeah, i dont like those kinds of people. TACO IS TACO. If its food within a tortilla, thats a taco. Egg whites and ketchup? thats a taco. Chorizo and potatoes with cilantro and onion? taco. ground beef and egg noodles? taco. Welcome to my Ted Talk
I love just seeing his hatred for cilantro whenever it's even *mentioned*, not used, just mentioned. It's amazing. As a fellow 'Cilantro Tastes Like Soap' person though I honestly feel that pain
@@animock3051 Neither a quesadilla, or a gringa, but those are "considered" different from a taco, because their form and preparation are slightly different (even if the ingredients are the same)...
@@madluke8090 quesadillas: a folded tortilla (either corn or flour) with any filling and filled with cheese to keep it closed (unless your from Mexico City then do as you please). Burrito: a flour tortillas with a Mexican breakfast filling (beans, eggs, rice, rajas, etc...) All *wrapped* in a flour tortillas. Taco: a corn tortilla (can be heated on a cast iron skillet with some cooking oil) with any kind of filling, to eat it you must fold the tortilla yourself to keep the filling inside.
@@Monkeywe Yeah, I know that... But I was thinking precisely in how a taco is made when I wrote my first comment: The only thing you need to do is grab your tortilla like a baseball glove, grab any filling you like, and... Voalá! You have a taco... So simple yet SO delicious...
I don’t even like cooking that much. I just enjoy listening to his voice while I’m doing work or playing video games. If Babish ever gets tired of cooking he’s got a career in voiceovers for sure
Clicked off of Rhett and Link hot ones to find and It's Alive with Brad, clicked off that to find this waiting for me, the TH-cam gods are shining down today
Hey Babish, a trick I use to peel ginger is a spoon. Rake the edge of the spoon bowl on the ginger root and it pulls it off without digging into the flesh. I found this out after making 2 pounds of candied ginger for my pregnant wife. Super easy.
Question: have you ever considered participating in a cooking competition? It would be fun to watch you compete on Chopped or Iron Chef or something like that.
Most cooking shows are only for amateur chefs. Since Babish makes his money from cooking, he is considered a professional, even though he is selftaught.
Marie Bach Not necessarily. Other than chefs on shows like “Worst Cooks in America,” most of the time they’ve been cooking their entire lives, own their own restaurants, have Culinary Arts Degrees etc. I wouldn’t call them amateurs. I think that Babish fits into that category.
Can we get more videos like this? With a few asides this one was very similar to how people normally cook. Trying to do multiple things at once and finding the proper palate paradigm. Your videos are wonderful for zooming in on one aspect of cooking and then showing how to apply that aspect to multiple things in the kitchen. But people tend to eat more than just a fresh loaf of bread for dinner. Which means that they either get overwhelmed when cooking several things at once OR they take 6 hours to make it, get tired, and give up. A video on time management (and all that it entails--which is a lot to be fair) would be incredibly helpful. Whenever I'm talking to people about cooking it's THE MOST common thing that comes up next to finding the time to cook at all.
Seeing you make all 3 kinds of tacos at once made me think, could you maybe do a kitchen management episode of basics with babish please? I personally struggle with doing more than one to two things at once in the kitchen and could really use some tips
There's no Little Mexico in New York or else it would be about getting the authentic ingredients. Where I live, you can definitely get all that and more, provided you know some Español.
@@PanAndScanBuddy I'm lucky. I live in South Texas. There's 3 different brands of crema in every grocery store. I used some last night to make a Chef John recipe that called for heavy cream.
Central Ohio here, I can just go to the supermarket and get it :) Easy, breezy, beautiful. The creme fraiche, however, is a little more difficult to find.
@@mbanks7969 Creme fraiche, despite what the name implies, is just gusseyed up sour cream. I make it a point to never eat any dairy product with the word "sour" in the name. Especially if it has turned blue.
@@daddyquatro basic sourcream has less fat than creme fraiche I believe? Besides if either is literally blue, I don't think the problem is with the base product at that point :P.
Yes absolutely. I'm rather sure when this or the other Blue Apron sponsored receipt got releases first, "soo much plastic waste" was the top comment. Overall Andrew uses A LOT of plastic wrap and other wasteful plastics. Why cover every raising dough with plastic wrap... just use a kitchen towel like your grandma did
Why can’t he keep his “basic” videos actually basic? His burgers involved grinding three kinds of expensive meat himself for one, basic is shop bought mince. Most people don’t have a meat thermometer let alone use one for diced chicken, which he does. Etc. That said not everyone has the space for loads of glass storage containers or spare tea towels etc. so (while he definitely does have these things) I would blame the meal kit companies over some kitchen cling film. Even without the plastic any company giving each customer the exact amount of everything every time is gonna waste a load in scraps.
damn all of u making excuses to say something bad about the video just bc youve had authentic tacos before...good for you, you have successfully inflated your own ego

How do you laugh in Spanish???

@@PACHEKODEMON Lo entiendo, para algunas personas el cilantro tiene un sabor asqueroso, afortunadamente no es mi caso
Hey Andrew, could you do a cast iron basics episode?
Me : *bites taco*
Everything inside the taco : *adíos*
I know I'm a year late, but you gotta hold it right. Grab it by the back and top then pinch it closed, no room for the filling to spill out, hand might get greasy though
@@Lowtendo never too late amigo💀🔥
1:28 "Press Dough!" unintended or intended pun?
Totally didn't realize it but totally gonna take credit for it
Hello Babish, I am a Mexican subscriber of yours I love your videos and can't thank you enough for emphasizing the importance of corn tortillas in true taco fashion. I absolutely despise the god-awful "taco" shell they try to sell at the states. Great job and thanks for all the recipes.
Yeah, but those are still made out of corn, as far as I know
@@mangekyou10sharingan That is a goddamn tostada not a tortilla.
@@CREDLACE Pues para tener una tostada primero necesitas una tortilla, así que por la forma siguen siendo tacos (feos y raros, en eso supongo que estamos de acuerdo). Además pensé que te referías más al hecho de que las tortillas fueran de maíz en contraste con las de harina de trigo.
I like the hard shells, but im not going to try to change your oppinion, so you dont try to change mine.
Has he ever made any videos about how he cleans that counter? That's the real basic tip he should share with us.
Yes actually. The kitchen care episode
I love that even though I have worked the food industry for 13 years, from fast food all the way to my current job, brined and smoked our own pastrami and pickling our own sauerkraut, and I can still learn at least one new thing in every video.
Make a King size ultra Krabby supreme with the works double batter fried on a stick from Spongebob!
Ohh he should do that
+MC Andy You forgot your mayonnaise.
Evan Blenkinsopp i thought that was an instrument:/
Oh
+Francis Vial Some say that it is, but maybe it wouldn't SOUND so bad if SOMEONE wasn't playing with BIG, MEATY CLAWWWS.
Literally every single taco video I've ever been on, hell, any mexican food video, there's always the few Mexicans who say
*oMG, ThAtS nOT MexICaN FooD!*
Purists are actually the worst type of people :O
Im mexican, and lemme say that, even if some ones really cant be called tacos, this video right here is by far the one with the best tacos ever dude. If it fits in a tortilla, its a taco, thats simple, but its the way the tortilla is made, how many passion this guy put in that meat. Boy, the taqueros of my City would be jealous of this guy.

Nada supera a unos tacos de 5 pesitos.
Maybe it’s because it’s not Mexican good?
yeah, i dont like those kinds of people. TACO IS TACO. If its food within a tortilla, thats a taco. Egg whites and ketchup? thats a taco. Chorizo and potatoes with cilantro and onion? taco. ground beef and egg noodles? taco. Welcome to my Ted Talk
"press dough" probably the best pun I've heard in my life not even joking
I cannot express how much I prefer seeing an ad for your videos right before watching your videos lol so much better than some of the bs they push
1:28 im not sure whether he said presto or press dough
I think that was the point lol
F**k you beat me to it
I bet you thought i said f*ck, but it was fork

“Marinate for 30 minutes to overnight”
My mother: apologizing for only marinating the steak for 2 days because it’s usually marinated for a week
How do they turn out delicious? Mushy because of the acid chemically cooking the meat?
Crème fraîche... awww fuck yeah....
La la-la laaahh...
Cafeteria fraîche!
And thanks to South Park I can't keep a straight face when I see someone using Creme fraiche
I love just seeing his hatred for cilantro whenever it's even *mentioned*, not used, just mentioned. It's amazing. As a fellow 'Cilantro Tastes Like Soap' person though I honestly feel that pain
I think the most basic about tacos is "If it fits inside a tortilla, it can be a taco"...
A burrito isn't a taco
@@animock3051 Neither a quesadilla, or a gringa, but those are "considered" different from a taco, because their form and preparation are slightly different (even if the ingredients are the same)...
@@madluke8090
quesadillas: a folded tortilla (either corn or flour) with any filling and filled with cheese to keep it closed (unless your from Mexico City then do as you please).
Burrito: a flour tortillas with a Mexican breakfast filling (beans, eggs, rice, rajas, etc...) All *wrapped* in a flour tortillas.
Taco: a corn tortilla (can be heated on a cast iron skillet with some cooking oil) with any kind of filling, to eat it you must fold the tortilla yourself to keep the filling inside.
@@Monkeywe Yeah, I know that... But I was thinking precisely in how a taco is made when I wrote my first comment: The only thing you need to do is grab your tortilla like a baseball glove, grab any filling you like, and... Voalá! You have a taco...
So simple yet SO delicious...
8:18 he says *"which"* the same way stewie says *"whipped"*
Lmao 😂
He usually says "hwhisk" but I'm pretty sure this time he didn't do it just to say "hwhich" 3 seconds later :'D
I am stuffed af, don't really like tacos, yet now I crave them... Cursed be thee, Babish, for making great food videos.
That onion/lime/ feta thing was actually so good it made my entire taco amazing
I love Mexican tacos, but I prefer the classic Asada tacos in those tiny tortillas. They usually add cilantro and onions in those tacos.
That's gross.
3:40 the torch gag made me laugh harder than it should have
Never seen a video uploaded "43 seconds ago" damn I'm lucky
I don’t even like cooking that much. I just enjoy listening to his voice while I’m doing work or playing video games. If Babish ever gets tired of cooking he’s got a career in voiceovers for sure
Please make Sweet Rolls from Skyrim and Oblivion.

Hey Babish, a trick I use to peel ginger is a spoon. Rake the edge of the spoon bowl on the ginger root and it pulls it off without digging into the flesh. I found this out after making 2 pounds of candied ginger for my pregnant wife. Super easy.
Question: have you ever considered participating in a cooking competition? It would be fun to watch you compete on Chopped or Iron Chef or something like that.
I am dreaming of him on Next Food Network Star
Most cooking shows are only for amateur chefs. Since Babish makes his money from cooking, he is considered a professional, even though he is selftaught.
Marie Bach Not necessarily. Other than chefs on shows like “Worst Cooks in America,” most of the time they’ve been cooking their entire lives, own their own restaurants, have Culinary Arts Degrees etc. I wouldn’t call them amateurs. I think that Babish fits into that category.
i think he would get slaughtered on iron chef, where they are professionals with years of experience working in a real kitchen
I think he’d do great on chopped
Yesterday I made a taco with a store bought tortilla, fish sticks, and leftover McDonald's honey mustard. Am I a Chef™ yet?
I love how Basics With Babish is so... basic.
Hecho en Mexico but raised in the U.S. but I think any Mexican (or Latino) can say this is actually a beautiful mix. Nicely done.
Dang, I'm so early the video won't even load. Or it's loading the last video I watched. I just wanna watch tacos with Babish ;-;

brandonprows I just got the notification lol
brandonprows you commented sooo early dude
Probably was first
I can see it only in 360p!
Saying 'pressed dough' instead of 'presto' must be one of the greatest puns ever conceived
Let’s taco -bout dinner plans.
Can we get more videos like this? With a few asides this one was very similar to how people normally cook. Trying to do multiple things at once and finding the proper palate paradigm. Your videos are wonderful for zooming in on one aspect of cooking and then showing how to apply that aspect to multiple things in the kitchen. But people tend to eat more than just a fresh loaf of bread for dinner. Which means that they either get overwhelmed when cooking several things at once OR they take 6 hours to make it, get tired, and give up.
A video on time management (and all that it entails--which is a lot to be fair) would be incredibly helpful. Whenever I'm talking to people about cooking it's THE MOST common thing that comes up next to finding the time to cook at all.
The way you cooked the potatoes separately from the chorizo until the end made me die a little inside.
he still used the chorizo fat for it, at least
Speaking of Tacos, you should try to make Tacos on a Stick from ICarly
Can only imagine the amount of coughing and eye watering happened during this asando chiles and cooking chorizo AT THE SAME TIME 😳
Seeing you make all 3 kinds of tacos at once made me think, could you maybe do a kitchen management episode of basics with babish please? I personally struggle with doing more than one to two things at once in the kitchen and could really use some tips
Creme fraiche, but no Mexican crema? ¡Qué barbaridad!
There's no Little Mexico in New York or else it would be about getting the authentic ingredients. Where I live, you can definitely get all that and more, provided you know some Español.
@@PanAndScanBuddy
I'm lucky. I live in South Texas. There's 3 different brands of crema in every grocery store. I used some last night to make a Chef John recipe that called for heavy cream.
Central Ohio here, I can just go to the supermarket and get it :) Easy, breezy, beautiful. The creme fraiche, however, is a little more difficult to find.
@@mbanks7969
Creme fraiche, despite what the name implies, is just gusseyed up sour cream. I make it a point to never eat any dairy product with the word "sour" in the name.
Especially if it has turned blue.
@@daddyquatro basic sourcream has less fat than creme fraiche I believe?
Besides if either is literally blue, I don't think the problem is with the base product at that point :P.
“Omit this, if you’re a wuss!” Love this guy.
1:29 “presto!” Heh presto... press dough
I’ll be here all week.
this channel is better than literally any cooking show on food network
2:12 That olive oil looks like lighter fluid and I was *very worried*
I feel Like companies like Blue Apron or Good Food just produce SO much plastic waste :( it makes me sad to see
Yes absolutely. I'm rather sure when this or the other Blue Apron sponsored receipt got releases first, "soo much plastic waste" was the top comment. Overall Andrew uses A LOT of plastic wrap and other wasteful plastics. Why cover every raising dough with plastic wrap... just use a kitchen towel like your grandma did
Why can’t he keep his “basic” videos actually basic? His burgers involved grinding three kinds of expensive meat himself for one, basic is shop bought mince. Most people don’t have a meat thermometer let alone use one for diced chicken, which he does. Etc. That said not everyone has the space for loads of glass storage containers or spare tea towels etc. so (while he definitely does have these things) I would blame the meal kit companies over some kitchen cling film. Even without the plastic any company giving each customer the exact amount of everything every time is gonna waste a load in scraps.
damn all of u making excuses to say something bad about the video just bc youve had authentic tacos before...good for you, you have successfully inflated your own ego
WOW!!!! I'm mexican and I'm proud of these tacos!!
You can omit this if you're a wuss
IM DEAD
rip
How'd he know?
only a wuss would die
I mean, it wouldn't kill me but I would end up in the hospital so I guess I'll just have to live with being a wuss. Interstitial cystitis is a bitch.
side note favorite chef terminology "get to know each other"
Babish: does a lot of things wrong
Mexicans: ur free trial of existing has ended
I was amazed to see that Blue Apron still exists from an ad that I saw a few hours ago.
Great now I want tacos :/
🅱️ruh
Do the cheesecake from friends
blue apron should be suing you for making a better taco recipe, not sponsoring you XD
Watching Binging with Babish high is close to the best thing in the world
