also, if you would like an easy base for your own Queso/Cheese Dip, here is a good one. there are no spices, so you will have to use your own. you may make it as spicy, or as hot (there is a difference between spicy and hot) as you like. by weight, equal parts of cheese, heavy cream (aka "whipping cream") and Cream Cheese (or Neufchatel cheese). in a heavy pot, warm the cream over a low heat. when you see a bit of steam begin to rise, add in the cubed Cream/Neufchatel cheese in small amounts. from now on, you stir almost constantly because if you don't, it could burn and be lost! then, when the Cream Cheese has just about finished melting into the cream, begin adding the grated cheese (i like super sharp cheddar) in small amounts, stirring the whole time, until all of the cheese is melted into the mix and smooth. take it off the heat and begin adding whatever you like to season it. the amounts of cream, cream cheese, and cheese i typically use are about 450g/ml each. it makes a large batch that will keep well if covered and in the fridge.
Queso is a Mexican cheese dip. You received a glass jar of it in one of your boxes. We usually make it out of a yellow type of cheese, but Mexican cheese is white and has a very fresh cheesy taste.
I am almost positive you could find a wonderful American sponsor that would help you with lodging and trying some unique foods. I know trusting folks can be off putting, but we have some great people here. I would love to see you be able to visit us here in the states. Many blessings 😊
I grew up in Southern California where there's a lot of TexMex restaurants. I always thought of it as Mexican food with some Texas influence. You should watch Jolly try southern fried chicken for the first time.
Queso (KEH-so) is the spanish word for "cheese". it is typically cheese (or cheese and cream) heated until it begins to melt, then spices, herbs, and other seasonings are added to it. some of these additions are, or can be : diced tomatoes cumin (comino) cilantro dried or fresh peppers garlic onions roasted fresh peppers it's really a matter of letting your imagination, ingredients, and experience guide you to create a wonderfully creamy, flavorful, spicy and/or hot product that can be used as a dip for various food items, or as a topping/condiment.
Queso is Spanish for Cheese. It's basically a cheese sauce. Also the mole (pronounced "mo-lay") sauce is actually a chocolate sauce. in Mexico chocolate isn't just used for sweets and desserts. It makes sense since chocolate originally came from Mexico and was brought to Europe via Spanish conquistadors.
@@liamengram6326 Oh, ffs, you know it means thick sauce for meat in common Spanish. The point I was trying to make is that it doesn't literally mean chocolate sauce. I'm not sure where you get "lunar". Google "always right" translate?
Mole is an complex Aztec dish from Oaxaca, Mexico. It’s thick and rich and time-consuming to make with over 30 ingredients including dried chilis and chocolate. It’s over likely over 400 years old.
I live an hour and 50 minutes from this place. You guys are making me feel very, very lucky to live where I live. Realize, though, that I would also love to visit Sweden! I love your food. Well, at least what I’ve tasted at IKEA. Great video, guys!
Avocados - Mexico’s largest export ! Freshly made (warm) tortilla chips are outstanding. Thank the Aztecs for Mole, and 32 ingredients. The seafood items in TexMex foods are quite good.
Carol ~ making guacamole is one of the quickest things to throw together. If you have access to avocados, salt & lime or lemon you have the basics for a good guacamole. Just mash the avocados with a fork till it's chunky, creamy or somewhere in between which is my favorite. Add some salt and a bit of squeezed lime/lemon to your taste and you have guacamole. Less than five minutes of your time and it's delicious! Or, you can take the flavor to another level by adding a combination of uncooked small diced tomatoes (skin on), onion, fresh cilantro leaves (coriander leaves, sometimes found in bottles in the spice section) or chinese parsley and diced jalapeno pepper. The peppers can be omitted if heat is not your thing. These ingredients make up what is called salsa fresca, pico de gallo or salsa cruda. It's delicious. You can also put this combo of ingredients in your blender on pulse, just a few quick start and stops and you have just made a great salsa to eat on any Mexican dish. Or, just to eat with tortilla chips, on scrambled eggs, omelets, etc. I live in CA, I have fifty plus years of eating in hundreds of Mexican restaurants, taquerias, at food trucks, food stands, street vendors, etc. across the state and in Mexico. I have never once seen a non-Hispanic owner, chefs, cooks, servers, bartenders or cashiers in any of them, lol. You would also be hard pressed to find a place that offered ground beef in any of their items. I love Mexican food, it's my favorite so I would certainly give Tex-Mex a go but I would have to pass on anything made with ground beef. Final oddity, never once have I seen a glass or mug of milk served in any restaurant either. Not that it's unavailable, I have just never seen anyone order it. I like spicy and extreme spicy! No need for milk. lol.
The best mole video I have seen is from Mark Wiens's channel called Oaxacan Mole Negro. That looks amazing. Don't mind the fact that they also eat locusts or grasshoppers in that video. LOL. The green enchilada sauce is made with green chiles instead of the more typical red chiles in the red sauce. Mexican food and Tex Mex food is very popular here. We have about six or seven Mexican food restaurants here in our little town of about 15,000, and most of them are very good. One of my favorite dishes is the Molcajete, which is grilled beef, chicken, shrimp, onions, peppers along with sides of fresco cheese, refried beans and Spanish rice. So good! I used to eat quite a bit of venison and I have made some good stew and hamburgers from ground venison that I ground myself. Good stuff. I have not tried moose meat yet, but one day! LOL You should show us more of the Swedish food that you like. That would be interesting to see.
Mexican food is my favorite and love the festive spirit in the restaurants! Also, its great fun if the Mariachi is around to provide extra entertainment!
You guys are always welcome to come and visit; My wife and I have a whole upstairs, and we could take y’all up to Sedona, Grand Canyon, and the shooting range.
Maybe consider visiting Austin, Texas when you visit the States. You can try this Tex-Mex restaurant along with the other BBQ restaurant with the dino sized rib.
I’m sure if I went to Sweden I could go to a generic Swedish chain restaurant and still be amazed by something y’all would see as so ordinary because it’s a new experience for me.
Btw first time I travelled to London in 1996 we found a good Tex Mex place called The Texas Embassy. I believe it was fairly close to Trafalgar Square. It was legit, and I think run by Americans, and had Americans on the wait staff. My travel buddy and I were feeling generous and gave the waitress an enormous tip - she was an American girl who’d spoken of saving up to to travel the continent. Have no idea if it’s still around but I did see it again later, maybe around 2009 or so.
It's salt. If there is an alcohol that will make you crazy in a fun way, it's Tequila. You take the crackers and crush them, mix them up in the chili bowl itself.
First, TexMex is a blend of Mexican and Texas food. Second, if you get something too hot (spicy) the quickest solution is sugar then milk. Third, Abuelita is amazing, Chocolate with cinnamon, and other spices. Forth, queso is a cheese sauce with spices and finely minced garlic and onion.
There are thousands of Tex-Mex (often called "Mexican," although that term is inaccurate) restaurants throughout the state. Almost without fail the aromas emanating from the kitchen will overwhelm. The spices, the chiles, the corn in the tortillas, the masa, or tostadas -- all of it is part of the experience. The restaurants are often family owned and run, with abuelas in the kitchen and grandchildren working out front. We here in Texas sometimes take all this for granted, but it is a fundamental part of our state.
Tex-Mex: Puffy tacos, nachos, breakfast taco! Breakfast Tacos are excellent! If you can get flour tortillas and some fresh jalapeños or other pepper, I can give you a real easy and delicious recipe to try. Look up pico de gallo, it’s just a spicy relish if you will, of 4 chopped up fresh vegetables. Super easy but you do need the ingredients. Traditionally it’s a chopped up fresh, not pickled pepper like jalapeño or Serrano. I don’t know what’s available in Sweden but improvise on the hot pepper if you have to. It’s really best with the fresh raw stuff. Ok, pico de gallo: chop fresh bit of tomato, onion and pepper. It’s usually made with equal parts but adjust it to your taste and heat tolerance. Also the other ingredient is cilantro which basically is a slightly spicy Mexican parsley which I’m sure you don’t have. Don’t worry about it. Do try to get a fresh pepper though. Chop veggies and mix together, that’s it! Oh, I like to drain it some so the juice doesn’t pour out of my taco. Warm FLOUR tortillas not corn, scrambled eggs and bacon! Get tortilla, add as much bacon as you can handle, add some eggs and top with a generous amount of the pico! That’s it! It may sound weird but it’s great and super popular here. I really like it because of the taste and the simplicity. Anyone with the ingredients can easily whip this together. Good luck! 😁👍🇺🇸 Welcome to TEX-MEX and breakfast tacos! I also recommend cold beer with this. That goes for a lot of our food. Iced tea is always good too if you aren’t drinking.
when my little one went off to university, she had no problem sitting down and vacuuming up a big, greasy, dripping, chili cheeseburger and then finishing the meal with a burping contest along with the boys while the other girls were quietly nibbling at their salads. it's no wonder the boys liked my daughter more than the other girls.
Eeeew ! What a weird comment to make😂😂😂😂”my daughter didn’t have manners like the other girls who were raised right. No wonder all the boys chose her over other women with class” you sound absolutely ridiculous.
Salt! Lime and salt, then you have a margarita. Queso is devine. There's beef and pork, shrimp or chicken in any of the items that have meat. BUT, I'm in Southern California so our influence is more Mexican than Tex-Mex. Just a small difference but if I'm the one cooking I can adjust it anyway I want. (when I was cooking, not so much now.). It's just really good food!
I tried mole for the first time recently. Its savory, nutty and chocolatey with a spicy ish after taste. At least the one i had. I wasnt the biggest fan of it but I had to try it once lol
Mole is not dessert, have youever had spic÷d chocolate? The chocolate fades into the background and mixes with every other ingredient to create this rich unbelievable sauce
My recipe for queso dip: 8 ounces of asadero or Oaxaca cheese, enough milk to melt the cheese, 2 cups of diced tomatoes (can use canned tomatoes), 1/2 of a large chopped onion, 1 diced jalapeño (can use canned or pickled jalapeños or chilies), dash of cumin, salt, pepper, Mexican oregano, cayenne pepper, chorizo (use your favorite spicy sausage), fresh cilantro Melt the cheese, fry up the sausage, mix all the ingredients together & serve warm with chips If you want to make it at home-get a good mild melty cheese like mozzarella & a spicy sausage if the cheese & sausage are not available or cost prohibitive to you Edit: They’re eating a mole negro (moe lay. nay grow) it has a ton of ingredients: Mexican chocolate, a variety of peppers, plantains, raisins, orange peel sometimes orange juice, salt pepper cumin chicken stock
07FEB24 :Queso is Spanish for cheese. in Mexico it is also the name of the dip made from cheese and jalapeno. On the nachos they are using refried beans Tex-Mex (adjective) (especially of cooking and music) having a blend of Mexican and southern American features originally characteristic of the border regions of Texas and Mexico. If you think they are lucky .... imagine living in America, where most major cities has a Good Tex-Mex restaurant,let alone a good/great Mexican restaurant ! Or is it a first date meal? If you are together after that, it can only be a good thig, yes?! Mole: A Mexican dish, from the Oaxaca region of Mexico's South West coast. It is made mostly of nuts spices and chocolate . REcky, you like eggs, I suggest you lookk int Huevos Rancheros More images Huevos rancheros (eggs of the ranch/Ranch Eggs): > en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huevos_rancheros
Peach Margaritas are made with sugar on the rim too. Frozen Margaritas are the best. They can give you brain freeze though but a bite of Nachos or Taco chases it away. I can wait to see y'all try Tex- Mex cuisine yourselves someday.
This term, used to describe American Mexican food, was first introduced in Texas. Residents of the state enjoyed their Mexican dishes and began making them at home with food they had access to, such as beef and flour. The Mexican restaurants in Texas started adding more ingredients preferred by Texans to accommodate their tastes, resulting in what we call today “Tex-Mex.” Examples of Tex-Mex food include fajitas, nachos, and any dish that uses beef, black beans, canned vegetables, wheat flour, or yellow cheese. Usually authentic Mexican recipes are spicier, while Tex-Mex food is less spicy.
And then you find out that many of the elements of TexMex come from different regions of Mexico. Where most believe that corn tortillas are the only tortillas in Mexico. Flour tortillas come from Chihuahua, Durango, Sonora, and Sinaloa, which explains the majority of TexMex because they're the closest to the border.
Mole is made with unsweetened chocolate and several varieties of chilies and other spices, usually thickened with ground almonds or pepitas (pumpkin seeds). It has a bit of a smoky taste (some of the chilies are smoked). You can taste the chocolate, but when it's combined with savory (not sweet) ingredients, it tastes completely different. You usually simmer meat in it - chicken thighs are very popular - and it's traditionally served over rice.
It can be ya, in that vid they had two types of green sauce , one was roasted tomatillo salsa which is the most common served, the other looked like the Green Sauce popular in the Houston area the Ninfa green sauce , which has jalapeno, tomatillo, cilantro, avocado, garlic, and sour cream. both are great.
A siesta is def. needed after Tex-Mex. But it is pure bliss during the meal. LOL That last green sauce BTW. It is Jalapeno peppers, garlic, and oil, pureed in the blender. Very light taste with a massive kick to it. LOL I drench my breakfast burrito with it every morning, love it!
Tex-Mex food is different all over Texas, depending on what part you are in. I`m from South Texas, but have lived in, and around Houston on, an off for the last 25 years, some great food around Houston, esp in Pasadena. I`ve also eaten Mexican, and Tex-Mex all over the state, along the border, in Brownsville, out in west Texas by Odessa, north east up near Texarkana, Dallas etc. I`ve never really found decent Tex-Mex, or Mexican food north of Austin. The small local mom, an pop family dinners are the best, you can tell a good dinner, by the chips , and salsa if that`s bad the food not worth ordering, also look for construction company trucks in the parking lot.
Oh..Eldorado Cafe is one of my wife and mine favorites here in Austin which is saying something as we have tons of great Tex-Mex places here in the city. The queso is amazing there too. Yeah..the donuts are a must there too. We forgot one time..and a mistake we have never repeated. Also..Abuelita means "Grandmother" or "Granny".
Hey Recky! Sorry i am late to give a comment. July 7th was my birthday! I hope some day you and Carol will come to Texas for real Tex-Mex restaurant food like this. Recky, one thing to keep in mind is that many items can be on the spicy side but you can say you want mild or not spicy but Tex-Mex dishes can be not spicy or mild tasting but they have STRONG BOLD FLAVORS that may be new experience to the mild Swedish taste but I know Carol will love the spicy things! Good news Recky, Tex-Mex does not have any hazelnuts in it! Tex-Mex is amazing. It will make you feel like fireworks in your mouth with bold flavors not always spicy. I must say i do love a good buffet smorgasboard (spelling?)
You really need to watch their *REAL* Super Bowl snacks. Their first attempt is absolutely blasphemous that this real one is a goal. I understand you can't exactly go to London but there are some foods you can make at home. Like the queso/cheese sauce.
If you were to come here to the states Texas would be my first place. You have Tex-mex, Texas bbq, southern biscuits and gravy, seafood, steak houses, they have the most diverse menu in the south! It also a very large state so you will have to eat and run to the next place and not stay too long in one area! Great reaction and can’t wait for you to see this place in person!
Those guys are a 'riot'. I watch their channel a lot. Makes me want to go have a taco or two. Thank you for the video. Waiting for the next unboxing with cat butt. lol.
I lived in Indiana for many years raising children. But moved to Texas in 2011, I always loved Mexican food. But texmex is on a whole different level. And it can be mild or flaming hot depending on your taste and likes. Enchiladas with sour cream sauce is amazing. Chips , salsa and queso cheese are usually fresh made and spot on delicious. And if you didn't notice they gave them both a glass of milk, IT stops the spice/heat immediately!! TIP FOR RECKY
Queso is a cheese dip. It's really good. You are going to want to consult the new Tex Mex book you just got. Tex Mex is going to be varying levels of hot and spicy.
Tex Mex is Americanized version of Mexican food. Usually stuff like Nachos which were invented in U.S. Taco Bell is the most extreme example of Tex Mex
I have some cousins from Alaska that moved to Texas! Luckily, my Aunt, Uncle and 2 cousins are still in Alaska so they all visit Alaska, Texas and still come see us all here in Utah!
My son in law just got home today from a year long stent in Korea for our military. We went out to celebrate and the thing he missed the most was Tex-Mex ! Head’s up , Jolly are not the only people who come to Texas or the US in general that get their socks blown off by our food. Come on over and getcha some 👍🏼🇺🇸🤘🏼❤️
Why does the owner sound like he's from Jersey? And the shirt? Witness Protection Program? I'm waiting for him to say "Grazie". Why is the queso white? OK. 12 minutes into the video - AUSTIN. It's one of the worst places to find TEX-MEX in Texas. I'm born in Texas, and Austin is not the city for Tex Mex. Houston, San Antonio, El Paso and many others are much better for Tex Mex. OK! EDIT! Saltine effing crackers! At the end: The "mole" uses Abuelita! LOL! Definitely from Jersey! That's instant hot chocolate mix! Just add hot water! LOL! JOLLY got scammed!
I love Enchiladas but my favorite is the shredded chicken Enchiladas iththe Mexican cheese & the green VERDE(vear-day) sauce is made from the little green tomotillos? that looks like a small tomato but it has a dry husk that has to be pealed off& It's Smokey & just has a little heat but ISN'T spicy hot with some avocado or guacamole on them & a little sour cream drizzled over it. Everyone makes their Queso(kay-so) different with or without meat but it usually always has diced red & green bell peppers & the white Mexican cheese( colors of the Mexican flag) but it usually always good. I like my quest a little thicker & not as runny. If u want to go to a few places but can't get to America they have some US restaurants chains in Europe like Taco Bell in England, some amazing Texas BBQ in Scotland, some warehouse grocery stores in England & New Zealand like Costco. We only have Sam's Club & BJ's Warehouse. We have European grocery stores like Aldi & we also have Lidel. So maybe u can travel not as far to England or Ireland, Scotland to eat & shop for those American items u want without having to go as far. We do have IKEA & their store restaurant with the famous Swedish meatballs which were very good. Then u can film for ur channel & show us things u like. I was getting hungry watching Josh & Ollie eat tex-mex too & it all looked so good. The kitty in the tent behind u was hilarious & entertaining. Thank u 😄😆🐈⬛🐈🐈⛺️😍🖤🙏🌎 🥂🍾🤟🙋🏼♂️🙋♀️💐🌻🪻🚫🌰
Professional wrestlers are also actors, basically. The Tombstone Piledriver is cushioned by the user's knees going down first Mole(the e is pronounced as an a) is a spiced chocolate sauce used in Tex Mex cooking. Very dark chocolate is used(unsweetened)
Well dang! When you guys come to America, I really would like you to visit my state (Washington), BUT, as much as I love Tex Mex food, I think its best you visit Texas first. Even if it's the only place you visit, you gotta have some Tex Mex food!!😋 Wait! I just thought of something-what if you start a new channel-Swedes American Food Tasting Tour-then you can enjoy alllllll the food you want!!
Margaritas are tequila based, with salt & lime. BUT, there are sweet fruity Margaritas with sugar. And yes, Margaritas are definite with mexican food! Queso is a spiced white cheese dip. Its glorious, but not technically a Mexican thing..... its an Americanized Mexican thing. 😂❤❤
two cups of milk. 3 egg yolks no whites quarter cup of sugar mix yolks with sugar till they turn white. Then add to milk and boil while stirring constantly. You can vanilla 1/4 teaspoon or top with cinnamon. My favorite drink while growing up.
Mole, is mainly the three ingredients, pepper, chocolate, and chicken. Goodstuff !. Each family has its own recapie. I prefer the ones that also have Peanut butter. Just a Texan commenting.
Tex Mex is my favorite food! Basically, Tex Mex is a fusion of Mexican and American. It's the result of what American's do so well, they take something and make it better (by that I mean, they adjust it to the American palate). Queso is a Mexican cheese dip/sauce. Abuelita is definitely NOT the same thing as Nestle Quik, it's just made by the same company.
I like avocados but not a big fan of guacamole. Queso is a cheese dip. Our local Mexican place owned by a Mexican family uses 2 kinds of cheese and diced green chiles in their queso. Deer, elk, moose and wild hog are great. So is rabbit. Squirrel I can live without. The green sauce on the one enchilada is salsa verde made with tomatillos and cilantro. I prefer cheese enchadas covered in queso. Yes I'm a cheese fanatic. Tacos we make at home they way a lady from Mexico taught our family to make them. Super crunchy goodness. Yum.
Since I’m not a big fan of chocolate, I don’t care for mole (mol-lay). But it isn’t sweet, it’s savory, mole chicken is a popular dish. Recky might like it since he likes chocolate a lot. 😊
Another great video from Recky and Carol! You have me starving now and I had mexican for dinner last night. We have a restaurant in northern Wyoming that is absolutely amazing. She is an artist with her cooking. Thank you for sharing...even if you did make me hungry!
Queso is literally the Spanish word for “Cheese”, but as commented, at Mex or Tex-Mex restaurants it’s cheese dip or sauce. Sometimes white, sometimes yellow, often spicy. I think the best cheese dip I ever had was the first, at a Mexican restaurant we’d go to when I was about 6.
TexMex is a different flavor. It’s mostly sour cream sauce, chili sauce and queso (cheese) sauce. Fajitas, tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas. It also depends on where in Texas you are.
Mole is made with chocolate. Chocolate in it's raw form is not sweet. It is only sweet because you add sugar to it. They use chocolate in a lot of their cooking from Mexico and it is the base of a good mole. Mole uses tomatillos, chicken stock, several types of dried and ground peppers, garlic, a ton of other spices and the chocolate. The ingredients are all toasted, roasted or grilled first to bring out each flavor before blending them together to cook for a very long time. When he said it took 30 different ingredients, that means it is a very good mole!
You want a very diverse food scene come to Texas. It's culture is one of the most diverse. Tex-mex food is great. But go to the little smal Mexican restaurants for authentic Mexican food. So much to see and do in Texas😊
Depends on the flavor of margarita. Lime gets salt, strawberry, mango, or watermelon get sugar OR salt. I prefer sugar for sweet fruits and salt for sour fruits.
