  • Though I’d eaten the famous alambres throughout the northern reaches of Mexico, it took a while for me to connect the ingredients on those kabobs with what goes into this fairly recent addition to the world of tacos. All I needed to do was think of sliding the meat, bacon, and vegetables off the alambre (skewer), cutting them all into smaller pieces, and then searing them in a pan. At the Mexican grocery store by my house, they sell an alambre mix to cook in a skillet at home-everything going in at once. But I can affirm that cooking the ingredients separately before combining them (and melting in some cheese) turns out a taco filling that soars above any other.

    I wonder how many unique types of tacos Rick has eaten over the course of his life...love this guy's recipes.

    The whole episode I was staring at the cooked bacon, how you didn't sample was beyond me. I'm definitely going to make these with twice the bacon, so I'll have enough.

    It's pretty much as tasty as something can get.

    You mean you don’t hide the bacon while you wait for the meat to cook!! I do.. in the microwave or the oven because it will disappear. So excited to try this

    The few places in the SF Bay Area where I live serve Alambres with steak, onion, bell peppers, chorizo, bacon, and or ham. Sometimes even mushrooms with a pile of flour tortillas. They're definitely my go to dish

    This looks fantastic!! I've read negative comments about bacon.........huh????? Bacon along with the worchestershire really gives it a different depth of flavor. I'm making this! Thanks Rick!

    I have heard that the origin of "tacos alambre" (not "tacos de alambre" as though you were eating wire tacos), goes like this "¿mamá, qué vamos a comer? ¨Pues tacos, no? ¨Bueno, pues, al hambre."

  • @richardcummings7079
    @richardcummings7079 Před 9 měsíci

    What would you use in place of onions, as I have family members that don't like nor will they eat anything with onion flavor. I would have to use bell pepper and something else to make this dish. They also do not like celantro either.

    • @MadMark118
      @MadMark118 Před 9 měsíci

      Parsley is an easy sub for Cilantro. Onions are hard to replicate without staying in the Alliums (Leek, Shallot, etc.) But I assume that counts as onion flavor? Maybe try bell pepper (lame with the Poblano IMO) or perhaps Fennel, assuming they can tolerate the Anise/licorice flavor?

    • @brianradtke6677
      @brianradtke6677 Před 9 měsíci

      Just skip the onions and cilantro. If you want the green, use baby/micro greens of choice. Use what tastes good to you!

    • @timjohnson3913
      @timjohnson3913 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Thought they were called picky eaters because they are supposed to pick the things out of the food they don’t like 😂

    • @jeremyo7566
      @jeremyo7566 Před 9 měsíci

      If there is an issue with cilantro and onion, this is probably the wrong channel for you

    • @richardcummings7079
      @richardcummings7079 Před 9 měsíci

      ​. It's not the wrong channel. It was a question if there were substitutes for cilantro and onions as I have family members that love Mexican food, but don't like cilantro or onions. They don't like these 2 things in their food.

    They look delicious. Enjoy.
    I would suggest not being "liberal" with salt. Causes high blood pressure, etc, like it did to me. Salt should be a "garnish" to enhance flavor that's already there.
    Yummy cooking, Mr. Bayless.

    Wood or silicone tools in cast iron?

  • @timjohnson3913
    @timjohnson3913 Před 9 měsíci +1

    I noticed you were touching the raw meat and then went straight to holding and spreading/grinding the salt and the pepper without washing hands first. I’m always frantically washing my hands in the kitchen whenever I touch raw meat to ensure I don’t accidentally contaminate anything. Have I been wasting my time with all the hand washing?

    • @randallmarsh1187
      @randallmarsh1187 Před 9 měsíci

      No, what you do is correct for food safety. I was also surprised Rick didn't use his other hand that didn't touch the meat.

    • @daphnepearce9411
      @daphnepearce9411 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Nothing lives in salt and I'm sure he wipes down the peppermill with kitchen clean up

  • @richardcummings7079
    @richardcummings7079 Před 9 měsíci

    Thanks. The leek and shallots are a no go as well. They don't even like onion flavor even if I use onion powder. I may just have to pass on making this dish. Keep up the good work.

  • @ToxicSpork

    Bacon? I guess Taco Bell is more similar to traditional Mexican food than we realize

  • @lvelez1999

    I would just have to cook them the non spicy way with a tiny bit of salt and Mrs. Dash

    Touches meat, touches everything else... no hand washing??

  • @VineyardGHS
    @VineyardGHS Před 9 měsíci

    I'm sorry, but I believe that artificial bacon flavor ruined the entire dish. The way it's made normally you could have just substituted the 25% ground pork for pork belly.
