Claire! I am living for this Texas series! I am always surprised when people don't know what breakfast tacos are, they are a big thing in South Texas. Thanks for showing them off!
I interviewed Fermin as a young blogger a few years ago and he was so kind with answering all his questions- also if you haven't been to Suerte in Austin, his SUADERO tacos is truly the best taco I've had in my life.
Please more savory dishes, Claire! 🧑🍳 Loved your Thanksgiving feast, your homemade clam chowder, your lobster pasta and now this ☺️ Want more! ❤ I'm greedy! Lol
Claire doing Austin justice! Whenever I go back there, it's a non-stop eating frenzy of must-go to this place and that. I think Claire would understand this gastronomic obsession I have and may even indulge in it herself whenever she returns.
Chorizo and potatoes, chorizo and bean, and potato and egg are my favorite breakfast tacos, but gotta be salsa verde. Barbacoa is the Sunday special around here, and carne guisada is great too. Gotta love migas/chilaquiles, because I heard you like tortillas in your tortillas 😂
This is a DELIGHTFUL episode. Chef Nunez's passion and expertise is obvious and I enjoyed following the way Claire asked questions about the process 👌🏻
Greetings from Austin! I agree with the recommendations given for breakfast tacos but I do want to add: Dan's Hamburgers (sounds weird but trust me! Bacon, eggs, potato and cheese on flour is amazing). Also, homemade breakfast tacos are the best when you have butter tortillas from H-E-B.
this is my comfort food! growing up, my mom would make tortillas every other day and chorizo con papas or ham & eggs was a common meal with a side of refried beans
This popped up at 7:30am… I live in HTX… sending the hubs to pick up breakfast tacos and coffee on this rainy Friday morning. Perfection 🤌🏼 Thank you Claire ♥️
Just some clarification, maybe the chef grew up in central/south Mexico. Us that grew up in northeast part of Mexico, south of TX border (Tamaulipas in my case), we've been eating breakfast tacos forever... that migrated into TX of course, as all good things do. Thanks for sharing this video, Claire!
He did, you can hear the central mexican accent not the northern accent. They do that a lot especially the chilangos they erase the entirety of northern Mexican culture all the time.
This guy is confused because my family is from central Mexico and we all eat breakfast tacos. I would be surprised if they don't eat something similar in the south. Huevos a la mexicana with some refried beans and you make a taco out of it. Chorizo con huevo is also very common and they're eaten as tacos.
Claire, as a fellow Mexican, Fermin is the bomb! You need to go to Mexico with him and show you around different types of pan dulce and bakes....and savory!
I grew up in Arizona but was raised eating New Mexican styled food. Hatch green chile is my personal favorite but I know its popular to have chipotle chile or a combo (Christmas style).
I've only ever had breakfast burritos and then I was exposed to a breakfast quesadilla (shout out to Marriott in Brentwood California at a wedding a few years ago). Not a hidden gem spot lol, but truly a personal leading form of enjoying breakfast (pico, sour cream to choose your adventure on the side) I don't see served at restaurants. It's always breakfast sandwiches or burritos in California. The child and adult in me was beyond thrilled. I'll give tacos a shot next. Thanks!
Thank you, Claire! The recent videos are great for me who have never been in any parts of USA yet. I was wondering if you could introduce your way of making lamington cake one day. I'm from Korea and living in Melbourne studying patisserie and working in a bakery. I've watched you making the chocolate cake in NYT Cooking channel and the other day I made your coconut cupcakes which was AMAZING. Then, for some reason, I thought myself whatever your version of lamington cake is, it would be exceptionally great. It'd be really appreciated if you could show your baking the cake and share your recipe when you feel like it!! Have a nice day!
That was really lovely, thank you Claire!! Been wanting to go to Austin for a while now. I just bookmarked all the places (plus his) he mentioned 😎 YUM. Can't wait
Hope you enjoy my lovely city 💜 bring an empty stomach. I also recommend prioritizing Round Rock Donuts/Lonestar bakery, the classic glaze. Also Kerbey Queso at Kerbey Lane Cafe. And Mexican vanilla ice cream (at least a taster spoon) from Amy's Ice Cream. Can't go wrong!
Hey Claire- great content, as always. I really enjoyed this one.....Can you share a breakdown of the tortilla recipe? Chef Nunez mentions the amount of fat needed but I'm not clear on the other ingredients. Thanks!
That is true, i had never heard of breakfast tacos until i moved to san antonio tx. Or people using lemons instead of limes, or yellow cheese as a topping. And so many other things. Im from northern mexico and even though a lot of the food is very similar theres a lot of white culture infused in what Texans call mexican food. But its really inspired by the food we have in northern mexico. Mexico is huge so the food here is really a small percentage of what mexican cuisine is.
Breakfast tacos are a thing in Mexico tho', usually called "tacos mañaneros" or "morning tacos". Idk where Fermín grew up, but these are common in several parts of the country. Common fillings are: chorizo with potatoes, eggs with sauce, chicharron with sauce, chicharron "a la mexicana" (with veggies), barbacoa, picadillo (minced meat), cortadillo (beef tips), deshebrada (also beef, different dish), eggs with potato, etc... Each taqueria that serves these kind of tacos will usually have more or less varieties, depending on the region of the country they're in. They'll usually have both flour and corn tortillas, will usually add refried beans to the taco if asked. Common toppings at any taqueria are 2 sauces, red and green, minced onions with coriander and lemon slices (to get juice on your taco). Corn tortillas are more common on central/southern Mexico, some places won't really have flour tortillas at all. Good flour tortillas are only common on northern Mexico. Source: I'm a chef from Monterrey (north) but also grew up on the Yucatan peninsula (south), been traveling around the country all my life (family is everywhere lol).
Looks like you really made your way around Austin. If you do a meet and greet next time you visit Austin it would be an honor to meet my sourdough mentor in person.
I bet you anything Claire would make the best tortillas if she started making them , I was taken back when u said no about how u never made tortillas, I’m like your the bread and dessert Queen here ❤
Claire, as a girl that has spent way too much time in New York, I know you believe Krispy Kreme is the best donut franchise but while in Austin, please make sure you hit a Shipley's donuts one early morning. When they are fresh (between 6am and 9am you can always get them fresh) they melt in your mouth. Maybe you got a taste of them as a kid but I think you need a refresher.
fantastic episode! Fermín is immensely likable and has the right amount of chill for making breakfast tacos. it is a bit agonizing, tho, to be shown a "recipe" for flour tortillas and not get the actual recipe to try out. anywhere we can find it?
Morning! What toppings are you adding to your breakfast tacos?
Claire, curious what breakfast spots you would recommend in NYC? :)
Always adding avocado and cheese
Bacon egg and cheese
Spicy Salsa and sour cream!
Sriracha-Mayo. I put that BLEEP on everything.
I love how unhesitatingly he rattles off half a dozen competitors. That’s class.
I had the exact same reaction. That's so great.
Indeed! Humble!
I feel like it shows how much he really cares for the cuisine, he's tried it all around town and has strong opinions
It's RESPECT for fellow artsans.. Wonderfull to see thatm
Honestly loved this part the most. Sing praises because everyone has their own strengths.
WOW. Claire is truly giving us Netflix-level food documentaries for free. We are so grateful for your content, Claire, thank you!
Dang it now I’m hungry
Claire learning ‘feelings’ cooking over ‘scientific’ cooking is my favorite thing
Such a good observation lol. Baking is science, cooking is art!
Chef Núñez is a natural on camera. I enjoyed this episode even more than usual because of his energy!
He’s really open and friendly and a kind teacher. Claire should visit him again so we can learn more of his dishes. He’s great!
The chef's humility! Claire is in his house, but he still shows her respect and honors her knowledge.
You can tell he respects Claire bc he’s asking her questions and for her opinion on different techniques. Just love that!
As a Mexican, seeing how technical Claire takes the process to make the flour tortillas and asking very specific questions is very funny to me.
I was shocked at how bad my first tortillas were. It's much more complicated than one would suspect.
Yeah its silly to see bc we are used to it, but if we learned indian cuisine, we would also be asking lots of questions! It's the unknown!
Chef Fermín was so funny. Loved the banter in this video. Also Harris doing taxes. Lol
Harris is the goat🤩🤩
I can't hate on a person maximizing the use of their time. Efficiency rules.
Love how Claire is kneading the dough so effortless , without watching it, just keep his eyes to Fermín.
Right?!! ❤
This is a fun travel series! Love seeing these local restaurants!!
More to come, Thanks for watching!
Watching this at 8am having not eaten breakfast
same but at 10am 💀
Me to lol 😂
Claire trying to starve us to death on the West Coast. 😂
I love how Chef Fermín was so humble throughout the video!
Anxious for Claire's perfected flour tortilla recipe in grams.
Claire! I am living for this Texas series! I am always surprised when people don't know what breakfast tacos are, they are a big thing in South Texas. Thanks for showing them off!
I believe you have struck gold with these collaborative videos. Please continue this concept with chefs in other cities.
Suerte is one of my favorite brunch places. So happy to see Chef Fermín on the channel!!
I love watching Claire ofc but im ABSOLUTELY LOVING watching her interact with other people in this way its just too good
Idk but something about Claire the student is wholesome
Loved seeing experts in two different areas sharing their different approaches for such similar processes.
I love this series down in austin. Its great seeing claire dive deep into this cities food
I interviewed Fermin as a young blogger a few years ago and he was so kind with answering all his questions- also if you haven't been to Suerte in Austin, his SUADERO tacos is truly the best taco I've had in my life.
ATX represent! Loving these Austin vids, and always happy to see breakfast tacos get their due. Best breakfast out there!
These look so good, I must also say that some of the best breakfast tacos in Austin (and Texas in general) can be found at gas stations
Please more savory dishes, Claire! 🧑🍳
Loved your Thanksgiving feast, your homemade clam chowder, your lobster pasta and now this ☺️
Want more! ❤ I'm greedy! Lol
i'm really enjoying Claire "on the road"
Claire doing Austin justice! Whenever I go back there, it's a non-stop eating frenzy of must-go to this place and that. I think Claire would understand this gastronomic obsession I have and may even indulge in it herself whenever she returns.
these two recent chef collabs she did were EXCELLENT bro.... amazing human beings
Chorizo and potatoes, chorizo and bean, and potato and egg are my favorite breakfast tacos, but gotta be salsa verde. Barbacoa is the Sunday special around here, and carne guisada is great too. Gotta love migas/chilaquiles, because I heard you like tortillas in your tortillas 😂
Si sabe el compa!
omg, we love suerte so much. my bf and I had our first date there 3 years ago. our fave chef and baker in one video- amazing!!
i really love the more recent videos a lot !! it’s nice seeing the crew outside of claire’s home kitchen (which i absolutely love ofc) !!
I lived and worked two-five minutes away from este & manor road and this has me really missing Austin! This will up my flour tortilla game, thank you!
This is a DELIGHTFUL episode. Chef Nunez's passion and expertise is obvious and I enjoyed following the way Claire asked questions about the process 👌🏻
Claire at 16:30 "You got a stew going" 😂 ... RIP Carl Weathers.
YES best part, I was searching for this comment

The level of astounded he is that Claire has zero flour on her hands after mixing that bowl makes me laugh so hard 🤣🤣 it’s like dude it’s Claire 🤣🤣🤣
this is my comfort food! growing up, my mom would make tortillas every other day and chorizo con papas or ham & eggs was a common meal with a side of refried beans
This popped up at 7:30am… I live in HTX… sending the hubs to pick up breakfast tacos and coffee on this rainy Friday morning. Perfection 🤌🏼 Thank you Claire ♥️
really wholesome video- super positive vibes and two very talented chefs
Chorizo con papas y huevos. I love it made with longanisa
Nice seeing chefs enjoy the food they’re cooking and get excited while cooking it.
I love his cat's cam sm!

Chorizo papa looks amazing. I love both. I want both.
this guys knows his stuff and the recommendations were all excellent source: my tastebuds

It’s great to have you in Texas. We need all the good publicity we can get. I hope you will get to Houston while you’re so close.
Claire you're just wonderful! Really loved this one and Chef Fermin
Love seeing Claire highlighting all the great places in my hometown! ATX represent!! Tacos are life!
Fermín is amazing, man! Enjoyed this so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video Clair! Chef Fermin Nunez , great job. Thank you for sharing with us all! Blessings!

My dad made the best flour tortillas. I miss him so much!
Loved this episode!! I miss those Austin breakfast tacos!!
New weekend project unlocked! I can't wait to try this at home!
LOLOL the quick shot of Harris' eyes 🤣🤣🤣
More of this kind of collabs please!!! I love it!
That was really lovely, thank you Claire!! Been wanting to go to Austin for a while now. I just bookmarked all the places (plus his) he mentioned 😎 YUM. Can't wait

Love Breakfast Tacos!
Chorizo and egg is the breakfast taco staple…made with chorizo San Manuel, best chorizo ever
I’ve never seen milk used in flour tortillas, usually just water, lard, flour, baking powder and salt… might have to give that a try!
Great way to start my morning! Love you Claire
Going to Austin to watch the Eclipse next month. Gonna have to check this out.
wish the amount of tortilla ingredients had been given
So interesting,such a nice guy who named many competitors to visit,5 stars 🌟
Hey Claire- great content, as always. I really enjoyed this one.....Can you share a breakdown of the tortilla recipe? Chef Nunez mentions the amount of fat needed but I'm not clear on the other ingredients. Thanks!
Can we talk about Harris doing his taxes? The look on his face says everything lmao
BREAKFAST TACOS. Best breakfast ever
Any chance you can share the tortilla recipe? Would love to try these at home!
That is true, i had never heard of breakfast tacos until i moved to san antonio tx. Or people using lemons instead of limes, or yellow cheese as a topping. And so many other things. Im from northern mexico and even though a lot of the food is very similar theres a lot of white culture infused in what Texans call mexican food. But its really inspired by the food we have in northern mexico. Mexico is huge so the food here is really a small percentage of what mexican cuisine is.
What a great guy, this episode was a joy
Finally, Claire is working in an appropriately sized bowl!
Claire is too good for this world
Love the Claire scale ❤❤❤
Welcome to Texas Claire!
The best breakfast tacos in Austin are in San Antonio! But still super cool to see you here in Texas Claire ❤❤❤
I really enjoyed this episode. Definitely going to make this week. Loved the cat cam at the end.
Those look fantastic. Any chance we could get an actual recipe for the tortillas?
I got engaged on Mt. Bonnel ❤
Este is a great spot. Their seafood dishes are wonderful.
The steak analogy is a great tip thanks!
Will we see measurements for the flour tortillas?
Hope you had a lovely happy Valentine’s Day Claire 💕💕💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm going to start using 'Claires' as a unit of measurement from this moment forward!
@14:35 adorable reaction from Claire😂

This dude is so cool 😀 All hail Chef Nunez!
your joy is infectious. Come to Fort Worth!
I love this series so much and so amazing fun! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Looks like you really made your way around Austin. If you do a meet and greet next time you visit Austin it would be an honor to meet my sourdough mentor in person.
OMG! Those tacos looks so delicious and refreshing and perfectly done! 😊❤😊❤😊😊😊
enjoying your travel videos, I love seeing where to eat when I travel
I bet you anything Claire would make the best tortillas if she started making them , I was taken back when u said no about how u never made tortillas, I’m like your the bread and dessert Queen here ❤
Wish we had gram weight on flour tortilla recipe
