I had taco Tico last Friday was 🔥 they load there tacos full of meat vs taco bell 99 cent tacos sunday😁 I'm going sunday fyi...they sell there taco meat by the pound in a box frozen at the restaurant...and you can buy it online
I enjoyed your recipe presentation and have to try it out in my kitchen. I also remember going to Sears and my parents buying "husky" pants. Just one of those childhood memories. 😃👍
One other thing - Taco Tico actually sells the meat and beans online frozen. I got a look at the nutrition label on the meat and the recipe is smack ass on. The other thing I noticed is that they are adding a little tomato puree to the meat according to the label. That would add a little umami flavor. You're also right to let it sit for a while before serving because the TVP and oats soak up the grease and distribute the spices nice and well. The meat sits in a steam table all day at the Tico in Fort Dodge, so it is kept warm but it sits and the longer it sits the better it tastes. The meat is replenished in the steam table as it gets used up. Try this recipe again by adding a couple tablespoons of tomato sauce or about 1/2 tablespoon of tomato paste to the recipe. I just ate there a couple weeks ago and it is still fantastic. Sancho platter with a bean burrito on the side and a small diet mountain dew is the go to order. Green chili salsa is used to flesh the whole glorious mess out. AverageIowaGuy
Hey @johneubanks6005, you could totally substitute the OG Hoff Sauce in there and it would taste amazing. Give it a try and hit us back. We'd love to hear want you think.
I am interested in trying this Taco Tico meat recipe. Never been to Taco Tico before, but I have an idea what it tastes like based on this recipe. It sounds very tasty. I made a taco meat recipe similar to this and it is GREAT. Yes I use Accent in my recipes, including fried chicken strips. It might be a while before I can get to a Taco Tico, since my nearest location is over 100 miles from me. Thanks to you and the "Saint," the Average Iowa Guy, who gave us this recipe after working hard on developing it. Very kind of you for giving him proper credit. I like your memories you shared of the 1980's too.
Met you guys years ago near the Tennessee Aquarium and bought a bottle and trust me I do not go a whole 3 months without having one stocked in my cabinet. Very proud how big you guys have got. Glad your stuff made it on Hot Ones and hope to keep buying new bottles. Thanks for representing Chattanooga, TN
That's great! Thank you so much for the love and support! We couldn't have gotten to where we are today without the the support of people like you and our home town.
Well done….Taco Casa was my childhood Taco spot in the 80’s…I’m pretty certain who ever started Taco Casa copied the Taco Tico meat recipe…it’s spot on….thanks brother.
Just saw this on my Smartphone. Made this recipe exactly as described! I may want to cut back just a bit on the Rice Vinegar but it is still excellent!! My Sweet Wife made the bamboo strips for me as she uses them every day here in Thailand!! Thank you for your wonderful recipe! The Allen's in Ban Huai Sai Tai, Phetchaburi Province, Thailand!! 🌴🐘🐒🐒🐘🌴
I'm so glad I found this. I live in the Pacific Northwest but I'm from Kansas and I still get Taco Tico cravings. I loved Taco John's and Taco Mayo but theres just something about Taco Tico. **Fun Fact my great uncle was partially responsible for Accent seasoning...Its our deep dark family secret 😊
Thanks I too am a Taco Tico fan boy having grown up in Kansas also. I still make trips back home and they have recently reopened a Tico in my home town. I actually buy the meat from them in five pound bags. I always run out before I make it back to visit so I need this recipe in my life!
Hi Hoff! To my delight, I have just come across this recipe vid! I grew up in Wichita. I long for those 1980's days of Ms. Pac-Man and Taco Tico! (Do you know Taco Grande? They were awesome too!) I'm making this meat tonight! Can't wait! Thank you for this totally Rad recipe!
There was at least one Taco Grande in Topeka KS on 21st street back in the early 1970's. At times they would have 5 tacos for a $1.00 !!! They had a pretty good sauce too.
