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.
Thomas Lambdin expect an episode on this soon!
Babish you're the best I need some of them low budget gourmet ramen cooking tips
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.
yea but in England i don't think i can make semechki and buterbrod
You should make a behind the scenes series called “ bloopers with babish”
James that would be cool

That'd be dopeeeeee

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!
la palabra clave en tu comentario es "attempt"
"You can omit this if you're a *w u s s* "
I've never felt so attacked in my life
I was looking for this
A wuss would say that
Sounds like we have a *w u s s* here
"Wuss, wuss, wuss, wuss, wuss, wuss..." "Kelso!! Would you stop it?... 🎶Wuss, wuss wuss, wuuuuuss, wuss, wuss🎶"
can someone explain what a wuss is pls im from another country idk shit about such special words thx
Eating bland biscuits watching Binging with babish pronounce ingredients I've never heard of, this is living.
Brinegret get with it~~~ biscuits will kill you
you must be a Brit?
Brinegret I see are you excited to try salt?
now thats a sad living
I'm Mexican and I honestly think more people need to know about birria tacos, they are mouth watering spiced braised beef
You must have commented this before birria blew up haha
Birria is my ride-or-die taco. Once I had it the first time, there was no going back…
If it fits on a tortilla, it's a taco.
-Literally every Mexican ever.
yep, that's the wonder of a taco
Yep
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!
Yep. I love lengua and cabeza tacos
@@lola.cruz916 lengua all the way, best taco imo
Babish making his own tortillas de maíz? My abuelita is SHOOK
Is it just me, or was that a whole lot of sexy ;)
Same abuelita, same.
flour tortillas have no place in this world
@@Rich-gd4fc Except for burritos and gringas...
He let them get cold tho...
"Basics with Babish" is essentially just "Unthemed Babish" at this point. There was nothing basic about those precise, mouth-watering tacos.
Yeah, for me "basic" tacos = throw precooked chicken on tortillas in the microwave, maybe putting cheese on top.
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 :)
@@tankbuggeru aw man dude that sucks! I'd be sad if I didnt have access to my spicy food options lol

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
Hmm...I wonder if I make one, will it be the same?
Insert joke about getting some chorizo, also a Mexican classic.
potato+scrambed eggs+chorizo make a really godly breakfast burrito! try it with some cheese :p
@Not a cat Literally my childhood right here
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.

“Parsley or cilantro, IF you’re into that”
Oh my god, does Babish have the cilantro soap gene?
Yes
tragic !
All highly-evolved humans do...
@@macmini5307 why would lacking the ability to taste something make you highly evolved?
@@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.... :)
I think a "Quick Pickle" should henceforth be known as..... a "Quickle". So let it be written. So let it be done.
I say quickle in my head every time someone says quick pickle, so that’s two of us so far
Lol Ten Commandments reference right here
I see someone else watches DaThings as well
Do any of you know how to write a petition to add a new word to Webster's Dictionary?
Damn. Fam throwing parsley around like he makin an Italian dish. Guessing he's cursed with the cilantro taste like soap disorder.
He also said to add feta to the taco 😂 might as well not be a taco at all!
To be fair, he said feta could be a substitute but he kind implied that it would be a bad one.
I’m convinced that cilantro IS soap. Everyone is trying to trick me.
@@joshroberts5068

"Lightly season with salt"
* *PROCEEDS TO DUMP TWO FISTFULS OF SALT* *
most people underseason their food. this comment is how you know
not to mention it's probably his favorite salt; kosher salt, which has much larger flakes than other salts, so one should always use more of it
theres nothing healthy about that "sprinkling" of salt haha
@@khu7379 I can't have too much salt so I usually hold back on the seasoning.
That's just cooking in general. If you're not throwing salt, pepper and butter around by the handful, it ain't professional cooking.

No cute tiny whisk?!.. Hold up.. cute tiny bottle of rice vinegar. Okay the food should be good then; enjoy!
What the fuck does this mean
Shaquan Gumpy there wasn’t cute little whisk, but there was a cute little bottle of rice vinegar so it’s okay you vegetable
No, a little rice vinegar does not do with the authenticy of these tacos.
Ixaka Craviotto-Velasco Ttttrrrrrriiiiiigggggggeeeeeerrrrrreeeeeeeddddddd
@@user-nf5px7vg6w 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!
De acuerdo. Hacen pelea a lo tonto.
Finally someone with some rationality.

1:28 He low key said “press dough” instead of presto. I subscribed just for that moment.
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.
Only the real ones flip the tortillas with bare hands

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
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💀🔥
I'd love to see a video about how you keep your kitchen consistently clean. I get overwhelmed with cleaning pretty easily, especially with dishes.
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!
That’s pretty interesting actually. I second this idea
You and Brad uploaded on the same day now I have something to watch thanks lol
5:07 Andrew's cilantro anger
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 love this channel. I literally can’t stop watching your videos.

That onion/lime/ feta thing was actually so good it made my entire taco amazing
I am stuffed af, don't really like tacos, yet now I crave them... Cursed be thee, Babish, for making great food videos.
First of all to some of you guys complaining that this 'should barely be considered tacos'. You need to realize that this isn't authentic mexican and thats okay. You can have a mexican style dish without it being authentic. That doesn't make it worse, that just makes it different. The mindset that something HAS to be authentic is ridiculous and what holds cuisine back. Good tasting food is good tasting food. period. I mean look at even chinese cuisine. It has very unique adaptions of japanese dishes and korean dishes. Hell even in chinese native food alone, a single dish can have multiple versions just based on the location in china it is made. Similar to how american BBQ is vastly different just between states. Adaption is good in food. It's meant to taste good, not adhere to history and rules.
Also about the cilantro, some people find it tastes like soap to them. This isn't just a matter of 'they don't like how it tastes' but it is an actual GENETIC thing that they taste it differently. Some people taste cilantro properly but might not like the taste, but some people just don't taste it correctly at all. It's hard to imagine espeically with how good cilantro is but it's a thing. So just because it is important in mexican cuisine doesn't mean that people who don't like it or can't taste it properly shouldn't be given a substitute option.
I hate cuisine purists!
As someone who cilantro tastes horrid to, it can literally ruin a dish. It's sharp and bitter, I can get around it and it's not like it makes me gag but it tastes like someone literally sprayed chemicals on my plate.
Cilantro is authentic...
How the fuck is this not authentic tacos lmao this os the closest I’ve seen a gringo get too no mames
This is bastardization tbh, it's not a good representation of one culture. If people keep normalizing fusion cuisine and neglect the history of it, the meaning of Taco wont have any meaning anymore.

@@BlackBirdSweep lol 😂
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 CZcamsrs 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 CZcams algorithm (for once) suggested this channel.
Love your videos man. Tacos is definitely one of my favourite things in life. Thank you for making this. I wish I could have you taste my tacos:)
Ok that honestly looks so good, like honestly amazing

The seasoning on your cast iron skillet is looking pretty banged up. Is it still nonstick for stickier ingredients? Maybe you can do your own cast iron care and seasoning guide for Basics with Babish too.

WOW!!!! I'm mexican and I'm proud of these tacos!!
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.

1:28 "Press Dough!" unintended or intended pun?
Totally didn't realize it but totally gonna take credit for it
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.
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.
Isrock Carmona
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
I would imagine Blue Apron has to pay big money for you to dedicate this much time to a sponsor. It is awesome that your show has grown so much and it is the perfect place for an ad like Blue Apron's. The new apartment and setup is amazing. Thanks for the great show. Please make more.
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.

Looks great Babish! You inspire me...
"press dough" probably the best pun I've heard in my life not even joking
It hurt me to see so much wasteful packaging in a single box.
If you want help with meal planning, get something like eMeals or Cook Smarts or PlateJoy. They send you recipes through their app every week and you can pick which ones you want to make, which creates a shopping list for you. But you can save a lot by buying your own ingredients, and not waste nearly as much packaging. Using your own ingredients also gives you room to improvise or add or subtract ingredients without waste or an extra trip to the store.
I'm glad that so many people are getting interested in cooking for themselves, but Blue Apron is not the best way to go about it.
I've been getting Blue Apron for almost a year, and just about everything they send is recyclable. So it's not as bad as it seems.
The majority of people get meal delivery services specifically because they dont want to buy groceries
@@katelyn1197 agreed. That's a big reason I do it.
Being a single person honestly buying groceries is such a pain in the ass because almost nothing comes in single servings so I have to go through and work out how in the hell im going to use the extra of this item especially when it’s perishable
I'll give you that one. Cooking for one is such a pain and so regressively expensive. But aren't Blue Apron meals portioned for two or four people anyway?
Great stuff, I made the chicken and steak varieties and they went very well and were extremely flavorful. Well done.
I love the opening song for basics.
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...
Never seen a video uploaded "43 seconds ago" damn I'm lucky
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.

@@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.
Let’s taco -bout dinner plans.
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
I just made these tacos, and they turned out pretty good
1:29 “presto!” Heh presto... press dough
I’ll be here all week.
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
this channel is better than literally any cooking show on food network
I'm making these for my 30th birthday dinner!! Gracias man!
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.
Yesterday I made a taco with a store bought tortilla, fish sticks, and leftover McDonald's honey mustard. Am I a Chef™ yet?
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
Made all three types for a camp of 10 men! They loved it, thank you! Will do it over and over again!
