Broooo I just tested something for what you said about only needing salt and lime as the seasoning because the mesquite is the magic ingredient, AND MY MIND IS BLOWN! I make tacos at home literally every day. I've been trying to find a way to recreate that flavor for sooooo long using what I have available. I tried this one on a New York steak (all I had), and it actually worked! Since I have a propane grill (no mesquite...), I put a thin layer of mesquite seasoning and rubbed it in, first. Then I put another thin layer of beef seasoning from the standard Mexican market (not required, more for the citrus flavor, cumin, etc), rubbed it in, then finally I sprinkled a layer of sea salt, rubbed it in, and threw it on the grill for about 10 minutes. I used the built up smoke in the grill as the last touch to try and match the flavor. I let it sit for 5 minutes, cut a bite, and BAM the same juicy flavor when you bite into a taco in TJ! Thank you sir, your gift has changed my life forever, and will never be forgotten.. 🥺😄🌮🍻
100% on everything. Somebody mentioned this being the only video on how to make real authentic mexican T.J. Tacos and that is an accurate comment. You are right about the meats we call them chuletas with the bone the prep is correct and salsa making is accurate including your comment about the serano pepper. The seasoning of the asada itself is 100% accurate minimal in order to taste your mest and kiss it with the mesquite smoke. Even your comment about taqueros using mozzarela cheese. Truth! Most people don't know this knowledge. Its like we try so hard and look so far when its been right in front of us. Keep it simple! The best tacos your will ever experience. Mex/American born & raised in CA near SD & border we still don't have a good spot locally and not to mention not many youtube videos on how to do a real taco. I never comment your video deserves it. Great content!
honestly one of the best cooking videos ive ever watched on youtube, I hope and wish you all the success in the world, food looks incredible and the background info was amazing
I loved your presentation. The history, your personal background with the dish. You definitely made me want to do this authentically. I am a chef of German food and it is very hard to get people excited about it unless you understand the background starting from when I grew up with the culture and traditions. You Rock!
Hell yea man , thanks for watching !! .. as someone who loves to cook I’m definitely intrigued by German flavors, I’m only quite familiar with some grilling traditions from that neck of the woods . Cheers !!
Stumbled on this page.. bro GENIUS! Loved the step by step and detailed history on the food. Thanks man! Making this right now. About to grill the meat. Thanks brother
I just found your videos...love the explanation for everything you do, the hints that are not found other places...love that it is straightforward without hype and silliness. Thank you
I go to tijuana every 2 weeks on business since 1998, I love tijuana taco's and I will try your recipe and see if it truly pans out to the full flavor and delight of Tijuana taco. Loved the vid.
ATTENTION EVERYONE THIS IS THE ONLY VIDEO THAT WILL SHOW YOU THE TRUE WAY TO PREPARE TJ STEAK TACOS, I HAVE PERSONALLY HAD TJ TACOS AND NOW IM HALF THE WORLD AWAY AND I TRIED THIS RECIPE AND IT TASTED JUST LIKE THE ONES IN MX
Great to see you! Waiting on your videos all summer man!! Bought a kettle bbq myself this summer, lumpwood and wood chips. Waiting an age. Loved your metal bbq themed content Danzig, Motorhead etc... and all of your vids actually. Not possible to get authentic Mexican food in Ireland, not then, not now :) I live vicariously through RU-vid sometimes. :) Mashed potatoes being the Irish Guacamole even though potatoes aren't even from Ireland what? :) There you go! Keep them coming! Cheers! If you could come up with a Thin Lizzy inspired theme, Irish Whiskey smoked pulled pork or something, potato salad :)
Hahaah man I’m so flattered! I’ll definitely be making some more metal themed recipes. I really appreciate you watching Karl! Peace to my Irish friends!! 🇮🇪
@@doomsmokebbq8997 I thought that was the theme at first (Metal), that was the hook :} If September is good i can try one maybe. I'm spreading your skills, really do appreciate them, Don't mind me, what are you listening to as you cook?
Karl Byrne I listen to various things while cooking.. some of my favorite bands are rotting Christ (in which I’m doing a recipe inspired by) , type o negative, power trip , emperor, elder , paradise lost , septic flesh, tribulation, uncle acid , ghost , my dying bride, cathedral ..etc . Fun fact my name comes from my love of Doom Metal .. smoky , slow & heavy which is like classic all American BBQ itself !.
@@doomsmokebbq8997 Excellent, I'm a fan of all those bands myself. Seen Emperor, Type O Negative, My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost live. Do love my Doom Metal. Look forward to more of your work. Inspiring stuff! Cheers
Definitely want to seed those tomatoes when making guacamole, it makes it so the tomatoes don’t release too much water into the guacamole, I’ve found they use any meat down there they can get their hands on.
Very informative to this old gringo who loves Mexican foods. Thank you. I will try this next week. I live in northern Wisconsin. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find Mexican food up here? It's terrible. Your videos are going to help me suppress my need for wonderful Mexican foods like you prepare.
YEEEEP! You know wassup bro! Everybody always focused on the marinade. When all you need is just salt and limon. The mesquite is what makes that shit prime.
Great video. I have a RU-vid channel and want to do some carne asada street tacos. After watching a ton of videos is keep it simple on the seasoning and use mesquite to cook it.
I used to go to TJ when I was in the navy.. I could get a pack of cigarettes for like 2 bucks lol and after we went clubbing late at night and it would be kind of cold outside..we would get street tacos..oh man…warm tacos… 😋
Uday Adams thanks for watching! but I’m 100% California my friend. Tijuana “inspired “I guess might of been a better title but I been having carne Asada tacos like these for most of my life when visiting family in Baja & TJ .
