'Drowned' Taquitos

Let's get frying. These Taquitos Ahogados ("drowned" taquitos) are a great place to start. Crispy fried tortillas rolled around pork carnitas get a few ladles-full of spicy tomato broth and a thatch of tangy, crunchy cabbage and red onion. Serve them as a quick snack or fun first course. Smiles all around, guaranteed.

So much respect for Chef Bayless who has helped de-mystify the art of Mexican cuisine. I have really stepped up my game thanks to watching Chef Bayless’ videos and shows. There is nothing like making delicious Mexican food from scratch! Thank you Chef Bayless! You are my culinary hero 🫡

These are absolutely the best taquitos EVER! I grew up in So. Cal with access to the best Mexican food in the country and these are mouth watering delicious! Making tonight for the 4th or 5th time since finding this recipe! Rick, you ROCK! Always make the best Mexican dishes, no one compares, imo! ❤

Respect to you and your brother. Fully grinding and having a extremely successful career both of you!

Hi Rick, I came here after watching your brother say a full monologue about your relationship and upbringing. Very nice to see to brothers who went completely separate ways suceed.

I love the stems of cilantro. They have even more flavor than the leaves. Great recipe.

[ryanscott]

One of my favorite chefs. Used to watch him all the time almost 20 years ago on PBS.

i have binged-watched this channel all day

[yvonneybarra]

These are seriously the BEST ever!!! No need for quac they’re perfect as is!

I LOVE the fact that you embrace the microwave and even lean into it unlike most chef's that pretend that it doesn't exist although I'll never spend $400 in a blender because it just doesn't make sense for my budget.

Dropping Rick’s name is the best thing skip has ever done.

Rick I've been your number one.fan for over twenty years. I love your great recipes. I was born in Mexico. My family and I came here when I was 6rs old.I don't remember living there, so when I see your wonderful videos of Mexico I really enjoy them thankyou 💓

Freaking Rick Bayless I love you. This recipe saves so much time and is freaking genius. Mass frying taquitos like that, placing oiled up tortillas in the microwave, and buying already made carnitas!!! I never thought of ever doing that while making taquitos. Thank you for this recipe and all your tips! Especially about the Napa cabbage. I can see how far you have moved from your super authentic Mexican recipes to a recipe that is able to reach the masses. It was thanks to you that I learned how to make my first tomatillo salsa without a comal. After that my suegra gave me a real comal to feed her son. I hope to one day be as knowledgeable as you in Mexican cooking so I can make my Suegrita proud. Now I will be heading to a tortilleria to make these taquitos!

My OCD made it hard to tune out the open door of the microwave oven in the background that stayed wide open for like two-thirds of this video. The delicious food in the foreground helped considerably. ROFL.

Thanks so much,
Chef Bayless!!! I made this tonight and it was delicious, the entire family loved it!!!!

[TimandLauren]

[AmbianceForAll]

Watching your brother speak candidly about growing up, and the situation you children were in was very interesting to me and hit home. I came here because of that... I subscribed, watched and rewatched, even planned dinner, because I love the way you are presenting your recipes, explaining everything, and seeing your passion.... truly can't wait to watch more of your content and make as much as I can! Thank you, hope you and your family are well.
