Thank you for making this. I'm Latino, but I grew up in a Caucasian home. All of my connection to my Latino, Chicano, and Mesoamerican culture has come from people kind enough to share themselves and their culture online. Thank you for providing me with this lesson and keeping culture alive and well.

I love the passion Hispanics have for cooking !
I believe this is why southerners and Hispanics get a lot so well !
We're family oriented hardworking,and love to cook and feed everyone we love :)

I learned how to cook authentic Mexican flavors in South Texas (Ingleside) while stationed there with the military. I had a neighbor who taught me and also introduced me to his aunts (owned the City Tortilla Factory in Ingleside Texas) who made the Best Tex Mex flavor I have had to this day. It was much different than the flavors of Southern California which was my previous favorite and different to the flavors of Tijuana which I also loved. The flavors matched Harlington and Matamoros, when we lived there, Thanks for bringin a good show to TH-cam, informative, techniques and good-looking food,,, Salud mi Amigo,,,

[@bayarea_pyro4159]

Carne asada is what you grew up with. Keep the marinade simple and have some tortillas ready to make tacos. The soft ones and some that you leave a little longer to get stiffer and charr. Have some veggies roasting for a salsa, if you have leftover carne that’s getting old use the salsa you made and pour it onto the sliced carne in a sauce pan with diced potatoes. Make some rice on the side and now leftovers seem like a new meal.

I remember my first carne asada I had this Mexican friend tell me hey u wanna come over .y whole family coming for some carne asada. I said ok but I thought to myself they real must like their ref tacos . Dont get me wrong I love tacos de carne asada & upto that point that's what carne asada was to me. So I waa like why they making such a big deal for it. When i got there i found out the difference lmao. They had pretty much what you had bu also chorizo & beef short ribs. As far as sides they had the usual rice & beans but also they had macaroni salad, potato salad & cactus salad which was basically pico de gallo with cactus it was really good & refreshing.
Oh yeah the beer they had 2 trash cans with ice one filled with beer the other had sodas

[@CoolJay77]

I appreciate a classic carnita asada, escuela-bieja knows best. Traditional flank steak,guacamole, sausage, some steak tomatos, yellow corn tortillas, forget it, thats heaven. Next time wrap some onion in foil & toss them on the fire for some time & let the sugars break it down, that is a wonderful addition of flavor that simply just belongs. One more thing, have your butcher hook you up with some corte argentino steak, grill that up along with your flank & compare them, your
going to love it, trust me.

While I knew the overall meaning was basically grilled meats , I still equate it with marinated skirt steak after living in San Diego in the 80's . You hit a Robertos or Ramiro's stand and got a carne' asada burrito after surfing and it was the greatest thing ever . Still is! Now it's kind of a fixture on menu's up and down the west coast . I think maybe that happened because if you just said "beef burrito" most Americans at that time would automatically think ground beef .
