As someone from Mexico I do find really nice how much Ethan loves mexican food and does respect the recipe, you do see that he learned a ton from his adventures in Mexico City

@linkfan341 2 месяца назад

Honestly, I've been looking for a series just like this. Everyday cooking, none of that fancy "BS" Quick cut, in your face edits. If you end up releasing a cookbook with this premise, I'll 100% buy 3 copies. I hope to see more breakfast options and possibly some week night, just got home from work; what's in the fridge recipes. Keep up the great work, man.

@Artofcarissa 2 месяца назад

If Ethan wrote a cookbook I would definitely buy one

@Cookwelldotcom 2 месяца назад

@jasonclark1149 Месяц назад

I love migas! Never done it with Chorizo, but will have to give this a try. TIP: If you don't want to cut veggies before the coffee kicks in, a tablespoon or two of "fresh" style salsa (or pico) from the grocery store is an easy, quick sub.

@RussellKingsfield Месяц назад

Love what you're doing with this channel. The live cook-a-long format make it really approachable, and the little pop-ups with the tidbits and food science really add a lot. You can tell a lot of thought and passion has gone into it.

As an italian I love to look at american breakfast recipes to find inspiration for lunch.

@1029blue 2 месяца назад

Yeah, no way I could eat this for breakfast. It looks delicious, though.

@Artofcarissa 2 месяца назад

lol I feel the same; American breakfast is way too many calories for my taste. I much prefer the Italian breakfast which is just a coffee and 1 pastry

@adufresne1 2 месяца назад

Most people don't have breakfast tacos early in the morning, it's usually more of a brunch timing imo.

I didn't realize you'd started a second channel - love the format! I think showing real time cooking helps this appear far more approachable and actually motivates me to get into the kitchen. Keep integrating simple, fast meal ideas like this (and keep them somewhat macro friendly), and I will for sure be tuned in!

@MikeKasprzak Месяц назад

I like how Ethan is always so happy to dig in. Watching Jamie Oliver or sometimes Gordon, I'm being told the food is good but you rarely see them stuffing their face AND loving it.

I've had a bad relationship with food for a long time and watching your videos have been both a joy and an incredible learning experience. In the worst times of the pandemic, I was extremely heavy and needed to change some things, and your videos instilled within me everything I needed to approach food in a healthier fashion. I started cooking for myself more and making smarter decisions and the weight came off. Now I see food as something to enjoy, not a contest to eat the most. Also, those tacos look incredible, and I too live in Austin so I'm spoiled for choice. Thanks so much.

I made this tonight. I didn't have chorizo but I had ground pork so I made my own. also made my own tortilla strips from corn tortillas. it was, in a word, Amazing. Almost like chilaquiles in a taco. it was so great. not gonna be shy, I had 4.

@Nossimid 2 месяца назад

Looks great! I can really recommend a microwaveable tortilla warmer. They sell them at HEB and they make tortillas come alive when reheating in the microwave. In my opinion, they're noticeably better than the wet towel alternative.

@randyrodriguez4186 Месяц назад

if youre only heating one or two, just turn the stove to medium and add the tortilla directly on the flame. only a few seconds on each side

@Ghostilocks Месяц назад

The way you sometimes pick things out of a pan and eat it with your fingers then go back in triggers my germa phobia 😂. Love the series, these kinds of small healthy recipes are what drew me to your channel in the first place so I’m glad you’re working on a place to focus on those!

@stevel2478 Месяц назад

I always add the chips to the scrambled eggs before i start cooking it. I like the chips to be soft just like with chilaquiles.

@mvsawyer День назад

My migas start with oil and corn tortillas in the pan, then I add the eggs. This way there are some crunchy bits and chewy bits from the tortillas. Never thought of putting them as a burrito, though.

@scottyausman1931 2 месяца назад

Highly recommend a video on Doña salsa if possible. It's an Austin staple at many taco places throughout the city. I haven't be able to find a good video online that replicates the Taco Deli or El Pollo Rico salsa and would to see how it can be made at home.

@juanrenteria8720 Месяц назад

You should try San Manuel chorizo. Much better in my opinion. Also, use the gas stove over microwave for tortillas! 😜

@WastrelWay Месяц назад

I'm here in Austin, too. I warn you that some people will say you are doing it wrong, because they or their favorite Tex-Mex place does it differently. Illegitimi non carborundum. I sometimes make a stovetop migas frittata, myself.

I love the sink cam!! Probably because I'm of the "wash it while something's on the stove" mindset, and people in cooking shows tend to just throw everything in the sink for later - as is, no soaking or anything 😅

You know Ethan know what's up when he pulls out a bag of El Patio tortilla chips as an example of store bought ones. And the awesome HEB tortillas too

@bierbrauer11 10 дней назад

Interesting take - I am absolutely no expert, but once the chorizo is going, I add garlic and shortly thereafter the tortilla chips (the broken ones from the bottom of the bag are perfect). I toss then as the eggs

@telly4kelly Месяц назад

My fav miga taco is at Veracruz All Natural. 2nd choice is El Chilto but it used to be Torchy’s but not so much anymore.

@WastrelWay Месяц назад

Torchy's on the drag had run out of eggs when I went there 20 years ago to get breakfast tacos. I offered to get some for them, but they couldn't do that. I've never been back.

@WastrelWay Месяц назад

I need to add.... why would you go to those chain places? There are still a few independent Tex-Mex places around that haven't been driven out of business by McTex-Mex places. Casita Guanajuato on Anderson Lane is one. I once had some bones in my carne guisada but that only added to the charm in a way. There is also a good place on Airport near Lamar, but they closed down for the "Day Without Mexicans" and so I figured there were no Mexicans there.

Chorizo is one of the tastiest sausages in the world. Top 3 for me at least

@Cookwelldotcom 2 месяца назад

Agreed. It's instant flavor. Tacos, queso fundido, migas, torta, etc. are some of my favorite ways to use it.

You've got to get the right kind. Not the kind that's made with salivary glands and lymph nodes.

So many mouth sounds as you were building the taco. Can we please save that for a separate asmr channel

@JacobBownds-hz9mm Месяц назад

In fact, your mic setup may be TOO good. The crinkle of the aluminum foil, spin of the crema jar, etc. it may me cringe & recoil with each one. Way more environment sounds than I’ve heard on any other cooking show. If possible please visit if this is rectifiable

@karammelkon 2 месяца назад

would this be a good burrito for meal prep (fridge or freezer)?

@lupusebrius 2 месяца назад

I would say, probably not entirely made. What you could do is store the eggs and chorizo separately and freeze that, them reheat and add back in the tortilla chips and then wrap them. That might work to keep the bit of crunch.

@TheLuminousstarlight 2 месяца назад

I noticed you didn't add any seasonings, say you're just making this with eggs and chips what seasonings would you personally add?

@Cookwelldotcom 2 месяца назад

By seasoning do you mean dried spices? Personally, I wouldn’t add any even if you are making it without the chorizo. I like keeping it simple ➡️ Add butter, (optional) saute aromatics like serrano + onion, add scrambled egg + salt, toss in tortilla strips. Top with whatever you feel like (avocado, salsa, crema, pickled onions, cheese, etc.)

@jaden_shah Месяц назад

If you care about the taste of your coffee, I recommend not having it with eggs. Something about how the fat from the eggs can block some of your tastebuds from some of the more delicate flavors in coffee. James Hoffman explained it better than I can lol. Really only matters if you drink it black and are a coffee nerd but hey that’s me 😂

@Artofcarissa 2 месяца назад

I love chorizo but I prefer the premium version as the cheap stuff with lymph nodes is a bit too liquidy and takes too long to cook.

@S1L3NTG4M3R 29 дней назад

sorry... Migas doesn't have crunchy chips, they are meant to be soft... from corn tortillas.

@somebodysgun Месяц назад

I’ll have to try this out. My typical breakfast taco is sausage, leftover veggies, egg, and then a little bit of mayo for the creamy and top it with pickled onions. I could eat that every day. Similar elements but different flavors

@user-jq3ly4ng9g Месяц назад

Love the format with the timing so expectations are managed about how long it will take the home cook to prepare the same meal. Fun to include the same things that happen to home cooks (forgot the cheese, spilled stuff, etc.). One request that would be great to understand - I tend to use a different knife, spatula, etc. for raw ingredients vs cooked ingredients - at least in this video, you used the same spatula the entire time and your raw eggs spilled on your cutting board. Isn't there some risk of bacteria spread from the raw egg? Would be helpful to understand how fastidious you really have to be. Thanks!

@davidzhang4670 Месяц назад

You should really include the time it takes to unbag/wash and dry the veggies too, unless for some reason you don’t wash them. Otherwise love the video

@alonsoviton8278 2 месяца назад

Great video and recipe. As an spaniard I didn't know that migas existed in other cuisines, the traditional recipe doesn't differ a lot but they are made with ""fried"" bread, peppers, whole garlic cloves, chorizo and so on, and for serving some people (me included) like to add some grapes on top. It is a heavy dish because it was used by shepherds to stand during the whole day

@Cookwelldotcom 2 месяца назад

Yea it's really interesting to see how foods move across the world. We did a little background into the history of migas where it originated in Spain, but then spread to various countries and regions: newsletter.ethanchlebowski.com/p/example-subject-line-13

Two questions as a non-american: 1) Mexican chorizo - how different is it to spanish chorizo? 2) What is crema? is it similar to sour cream? Recipe looks super delicious

@Cookwelldotcom 2 месяца назад

1. Quite different! Spanish is typically dry cured (at least when I was in spain) while mexican chorizo is a fresh sausage. Also while paprika is still the main spice that gives it the red color, the other supporting spices are different. I'm sure you would still end up with something tasty, but I would not consider them to be substitutes. 2. Crema is a slight variation of sour cream. Generally thinner and more pourable, a little more tang!

@Cristian.Cortez 2 месяца назад

Crema is kind of a weird topic, cause people use it as a catch all for different products. Different latin american countries have their own variations, but specifically talking about "Mexican crema" there's two kinds your most likely to run into. There's "crema" which is a fresh table cream, not sour at all and a really nice light creamy refreshing topping to add to just about anything. Then the other kind is crema agria which Ethan uses in this video, and that quite litterally is just sour cream but from Mexico, it still has it's own unique characteristics to in when you compare it to other sour creams but you would use it in the same way. The confusion comes when people just say "crema" but they don't specify if they mean actual crema as in table cream or crema agria which is sour cream

@jasonhunter2819 Месяц назад

delicious...but you better not eat lunch because 2 of those are about 1100 calories before the crema or any cheese
