Beef Tacos

[toogawnjawn]

I have never found a method of making or buying a great taco in a mexican food resturant even though I have been searching for decades. It does not help that localy the hamburger meet quality sucks big time and comes out in clumps instead of being a fine mix. I will definetly try your method and recipe. I have had the same problem finding a good chow mein recipe, since I am diabetic it is very very hard to cook what I am supposed to eat and what my wife and family will also like.

[kooktocook]

@toogawnjawn I have a good chow mein for you. Will make note! cheers, KtC

[MsCoop8099]

Yum I love Tacos!!!!!!!

[mukaikof]

mhmmm this looks so good!

[mryjn420090]

why do I keep torturing myself watching this

[karlsruheprotestful]

Thumbs up if the background music makes you feel like you wanna dance!

[shipoopi228]

r u insane?!?!?! 0:18

[kooktocook]

@shipoopi228 A bit of cayenne powder just doesn't do it for me. I find it kind of weak at times. A tsp. might give it some taste but a couple of tbsp. give it the kick. Obviously folks can adjust to their own taste. Have you watched my Damn 'HOT' series of vids. Not for the timid. Thank you! KtC

[guitfdlr]

well, now I'm hungry...)

[RebalArts]

sooooooooooo thats what a toco is 0_o

[Chopinco]

@RebalArts thats the american kind of taco, thats not the kind of taco you find in mexico =)

[pimpensang]

hes probly mexican hahahaha

[MicDrg]

thanks it was delicious =D

[kooktocook]

@MicDrg I hope to post a more authentic recipe however, my thoughts at the time on this was to provide an alternative to the package stuff that contains all those bad things (msg). I make it like this all the time. Much better too! The meat is also great on nachos! I am happy you enjoyed it! cheers, KtC

[Ronnie2749]

I love all your recipes . I love the fact that you make it so easy and staright to the point . You never drag out on the process of making everything and I cant wait to try all the recipes that I save in my favorites thank you ...keep up the great work ....

[kooktocook]

@Ronnie2749 Hi! Thank you, I appreciate your thoughts. I enjoy making the vids and sharing the ideas/ recipes with folks. I like to get the facts myself on a recipe and work from there. I found too many vids. were too long. My attention span can be short at times :) cheers! KtC

[gerry3x]

This is like the Mission Impossible theme song or something.

[canadamonster]

can u make a toco shell or do u have to buy it from huge corporation?

[Chopinco]

@canadamonster you have to fry the tortilla in a good amount of oil and while its getting hard u start giving it the shape.

[Landotter1]

That much cayenne would give me fire-a-ria for sure.... Great recipe though.. Will try!!!!

[dark101spartan010]

hey how do you make taco shells...they dont sell it in my country

[kooktocook]

@dark101spartan010 A few recipes on the net. Tortillas work well and are easy to make. Perhaps a vid. in the future. cheers! KtC

[ILPproduction]

@dark101spartan010 How can it be ... O.O where do you live ?! XD

[crazycrash666]

How can I make a Taco Shells? Here I don´t have it to buy.

[calamazue1989]

@crazycrash666 If you can get the soft flour tortilla shells , you can deep fry them for a couple of minutes .

[unknowndude941]

Mexico makes the best tacos, with beef or pork, mm mm with the spicy salsa!

[muglecruzle]

The question is not how to make it.

Its how MANY you should make

[kooktocook]

@muglecruzle lol Yep!

[wetsitfamily]

@muglecruzle ..lol...

[LostExess]

i've seen a couple of your clips now, they're great man. subscribed!

[kooktocook]

@LostExess I'm happy you enjoy them. Some better than others but all try to be informative (one way or another). Welcome and thank you. I will visit you soon. cheers, KtC

[wetsitfamily]

@LostExess ...your meat looks soooo good...and it's not with a packet either i hate using them ...do you have a measurement of each thing you put in there that you could give me i'd love to try it!!!

[kooktocook]

@wetsitfamily The package stuff is loaded with salt and preservatives. If I advocate anything is 'make your own seasoning' I never buy any of it.

Most recipe here with no measurements are visual. Common sense should prevail and you can't ruin it by putting in a little less or more of something. Measurements are for bakers :D

With that said, try!

ground beef 1lb

onion/ garlic 2 tbsp. each

cayenne 1 tbsp. (more spicy add more)

everything else 1 tsp.

just enough water to cover

Enjoy!

[wetsitfamily]

@kooktocook ...thanks i will for sure give it a try today!!

[wetsitfamily]

@kooktocook ...do u ever use corn tortillias?

[kooktocook]

@wetsitfamily Yes, certainly. I have a recipe actually and sometimes make myself (another to perhaps). I like both types (either soft or hard). cheers! KtC

[sazkwatch]

daaamn when can i come eat at ur house... ive watched about 10 of ur videos n now im hella hungry...

[PrettyInPinkBoutique]

If you put the beef first do you tend to find it dries out? Also, would chicken or beef broth work better than water? Though the end result looks delicious, these little helpful hints would definitely help.

[kooktocook]

@PrettyInPinkBoutique Brown the beef first? I do, as to drain off the fat. Not sure what you meant. Typically, any liquid is better than just water however, there is a few spices in here, No sodium broth I would assume? Thanks for sharing your tips. Much appreciated. cheers! KtC

[ichigopeach]

Your gonna get high blood-pressure with all that seasoning, dude.:/

[kooktocook]

@ichigopeach Not much but the salt wil get you. Certainly a lot less in this recipe than the package store stuff! mmmmtacos!

[MajorBlockHeads]

WHERES THE SOUR CREAM!!!? its a must have!!!

[Elsweenos]

@MajorBlockHeads They mention the cream at 0:23 :-p ;-)

[Amy2Pretty]

YUMMY

[kooktocook]

@XxAkramaNxX The seasonings are great but each their own. I have 400 videos right now and not all them are for everyone. However, most will find more than few that thery do enjoy. Happy your back! cheers! KtC

[CourtneyWilliamsTV]

my mom is making tacos right now!! thats funny

[wetsitfamily]

they look yummy!!!!.....

[princessjodii]

I love tacos!!! Thanks :) Im gonna make them 2mora! Yummy :)))

[kooktocook]

@princessjodii An alternative recipe instead of picking up the store packaged type. As someone mentioned below you can make it as much (or less) spicy as you want. enjoy the tacos! KtC

[princessjodii]

@kooktocook Thanks, i bought the ingredients 2day! :)

[Lilaan]

I like adding a little chili powder to mine and crushed red pepper flakes (because I don't have cayenne) to mine. Very yummy

[slayerbilly]

Yum

[MrBlaze908]

nice looks good im eating some rite now too :)

[usaearthling]

Regardless of how every one thinks their tacos are better, these look delicious. There are many versions of tacos all over the world, I choose to focus on these. Tasty looking.

[kooktocook]

We like them too :)

Thank you, I appreciate your comment. cheers! KtC

[scoobasteve5]

love the music...

[kooktocook]

thank you, I will add you to the 'yes' column. cheers! KtC

[yankeegirlvt]

I agree. i love this intro!

[rebelgirl88xx]

looks nice but I believe that its to spicy I would have used only salt and pepper for the meat

[OrquideaFeroz]

Sorry but Im Mexican and those are nothing like real tacos. I realize my comment will get thumbs down but its the truth...

First of all we dont use ground beef for taco meat. Second wed NEVER use a taco shell. And third wed never use salsa from a can you buy at a store.

Maybe this is a Tex-mex or SUPER Americanized version of what a real taco is like.

If you wanna see real tacos go to my channel and click on the Taco Trucks video.

[bucktheusa]

It is american tacos obviously.

I don't see latinos lined up at taco bell.

Some people prefer it this way.

Ground beef, taco shell, even sour cream/guacamole. Mild picante salsa.

I don't think you should dog his recipe though.

It never claims to be "authentic".

While I prefer authentic mexican tacos, I do like american pizza better than authentic italian pizza.

A plus to this video is the use of dried herbs and spices to season the meat as opposed to just buying the packet. GREAT JOB!

[kooktocook]

That about sums it up. I have visited parts of Mexico and have really enjoyed the 'authentic' (and variable) tacos as well as many foods.

Yep, my thought at the time was to show preparing the ground beef  without the package stuff. I appreciate your comment. cheers! KtC

[inkey2]

@OrquideaFeroz : so what is the real Mexican way to make tacos.....no ground beef? What do you use?

[wetsitfamily]

@inkey2 ..im not mexican but i think they use skirt steak..

[CaptainDickerson]

TACOS!..........TACOS!........­.TACOS!......(screams for 5 minutes) mmmmm tacos, my favorite, anything u want in one crunchy or had shell like a spring roll, or burrito, makes the job of eating quick, easy, and maybe clean....

[WarrenAch]

Never tried tacos in my entire life,i think it's time for me to try some!lol

[armywifeM08]

wow, never tried tacos!?? not even Taco Bell tacos?? crazy! LOL

[3m1rfile]

omg...tacoS!

[uhhpoop15]

give me a taco :(

[DuckHeadlolz]

thank you for keeping these videos 1 minute long! makes it easy to watch and follow. you've inspired me to actually make and prepare food in the kitchen! keep up the good work :)

[kooktocook]

Thank you. I appreciate your thoughts. I thought a minute was a good time. Most cooking is not difficult learn something you like and learn it well. Try something different next week. I do not enjoy the mess too much so I try to use as little gear as possible. Have a great day! cheers, KtC

[cvboy123456789]

i agree i hate the video that be 10 min long just to make tocas.

[rickross048]

if you haven't done this can you make like a soup like chicken noodle?

[Faztlan]

We put Frijoles Refirtos/ refried beans before adding meat man, and maybe sour cream for those who like it!! The Taco shells from scrath as well!! W chile Verde, lettuce tomtoe, queso oaxaceno and a cold but light!! -TEXAS

[kooktocook]

The beans are great with them, have enjoyed it that way many times. Homemade taco shells. yep! Thanks for the tips. KtC

[tienett]

i'll try to make taco, too

[oreowithmilk1]

if u cant make a taco ur a dumbass

[SandwichandDrink]

nice video...simple and fast

[SrDonRocha]

Mmmm... más que un taco, creo que es una "tostada" en forma de taco.

It´s like a "tostada" in a taco shape.

[sh97]

Holy sh*t! That was alot of cayenne O.o
