I'm a Mexican food loving American, but I married a self-proclaimed Mexican food hating Brit. However, I've converted him quite simply with 2 dishes: chicken quesadillas and chicken tacos. I make my chicken tacos much like you described in the video, however I use a little orange juice instead of sugar.
One of these days I'm going to get him to love enchiladas. It's a risk, but I love proving him wrong about food.

BARBACOA! AL PASTOR! SCRAMBLED EGGS!!

Also, as a mexican, I appreciate you clarifying that hard shell tacos are an American construct. If we want crunchy, we go with a flat fried or baked corn tortilla called a tostada, that's easier to manouver and eat 😂

I do find it ironic how you mentioned how the fast-food taco is similar to tacos dorados but failed to give tacos dorados an actual place.

There is a bit of irony of Taco Arabes, which descended from Lebanese flavors, is mainly made with pork in present times

Awesome timing....i have tacos planned for lunch today! ❤🌮🌮🌮

Minor detail, it's cabbage and not lettuce that's used for fish tacos, and the mayo is a 50/50 mix of mayo and sour cream.

12:21 One of the most frequent family meals when I was growing up was hardshell tacos (Old El Paso or Ortega).

We used to also have that Le Choy Family Dinner (can + dried noodles).

Surprised Carnitas weren't mentioned

Fun fact: Taco cat spelled backwards is Taco cat.

I honestly thought this channel had millions of subscribers from the quality of the videos. Keep it up!

Breakfast tacos have been around for well over a century. My grandma was born in Socorro, New Mexico in 1897 and when she was a kid they regularly had what are now known as breakfast tacos. Her grandmother made them for her and told my grandma that she ate them as a kid back when Mexico still owned the New Mexican territory (pre 1847).
