What cheese do you use?
I can't eat BEEF!
Yum, yum, yum!!! How can you go wrong with beef?? These ALL look absolutely delicious!! Thank you Nicole ❤❤
Very glad I stuck around for the margarita portion…need one of those ASAP
I use a pastry cutter when I want my ground beef really minced fine.
Is it contain prok
Nicole, you are honestly my inspiration. Single, 48 year old lady that never married or had kids. Not a sob story, just the cards that were dealt. I appreciate the easy and straight forward gems that you produce! You ROCK!❤ p.s…Birria is phenomenal!!! I will definitely utilize the shortcut frozen potato and ham soup this fall. You're a freaking poor woman's ambassador. 😊Blessings.
It makes me laugh when Caucasians think they can cook Mexican food when they really cannot. just like when they go to Taco Bell and they think they’re eating Mexican food. spoil alert!!!🚨 Taco Bell is not Mexican food. It’s the worst kind of food ever!!!! it repeats for days.
AMAZING- DELISH recipes!!!!!!!!! 🤤🤤🤤
I would marry her divorced loose all but then do it again. She is a good women. Thank you for listening to me. I'm hungry
Very great woman and awesome food. That's why I live…thanks
I haven’t tried these recipes yet but plan to very soon! They all look delicious! Thanks for all the tips too!
Ive always used a potato masher to mash up my ground beef & on numerous occasions I have been made fun of. Thank you for showing that you do too!
I love these recipes and videos. Even though its Allrecipes I still get that genuine feeling.
Would definitely eat that taco!
Birria is life changing! Great show. Thx 🙂
Love all your recipes. Thank you so so much for taco seasoning recipe.
Wish I could find a birria bomb without MSG🙃
Great ideas once again 🎉Thank you!
CAN U PLAESE DO MORE FALL CREAMER RECIPES
Any one see the ghosts in the background?
Thank you Nicole and the staff at Allrecipes. I remember back in the early years of the internet and when y'all started. One of my top recipe sites of all time! Keep 'em comin'!!
I add finely diced potatoes and poblano or red / yellow bell peppers to my taco meat. Adds bulk and taste. Everything looks great. Thanks for the taco seasoning recipe too.
And Brian Lagerstrom’s fried taco shells will change your life. I made them for a church group and everyone asked where I got them. Plain corn tortillas fried in a classic “v” shape. Absolute game changer.
Nicole you explain everything so clear I am thankful I can go back for amt of ingred. You make the recipe so simple yet tasty. I will be definitely be making my own chili seasoning.
What is the grater called I’d like to get one
Thank you so much for your recipes also I enjoy your voice .
Have you made spaghetti sauce? Where could I get recipe if so
I am thrilled to have this taco seasoning mix recipe. I hate to purchase those packages with all the additives! Can't wait to try this. Do you have a mix like this for sloppy joes? We love a sloppy joe supper with fresh corn on the side and I always use the McCormick sloppy joe mix for it.
Did you also read what was in your tomato paste?
OMG!! I had all the ingredients and made these for dinner last night with my Son!! These were fantastic!! (The fresh Poblanos from my neighbor’s garden helped too)!!!! Thank you!!
It all looks delicious except for the tequila…. a sip of that makes me so nauseous! UGH!! Vodka… sure, whiskey… possibly… tequila… NOOOO! lol
OMG! I want every single one. Delicious. I can almost taste them just by watching!!
Nicole needs her own network tv show! She is amazing! I love her recipes and she is fun and so relatable to us home cooks!! Learned so much from her!!
Look at the ingredients on those tortillas!
If you've ever had Jimboy's Tacos, you know what I'm saying. Making these.
Hello, great channel and nice video,👍👈it was a pleasure to watch.😊
I didn't have luck with the Smash Taco Burger … the blood from the red meat made the taco soggy. But then again I was using almond flour tortillas.
Wow …thanks for the info on the taco bell packets. I have recently discovered "Cholullalala'" seasoning packets by McCormick…they didn't have anything you read off the taco bell packet…and thank you for the birria bomb recipe ..but i think I STILL don't really know what it tastes like ..❤❤ keep em coming 🥰🥰
Can I make the casa birria tacos in a instapot using the pressure cooking setting? I have absolutely no luck cooking anything in the crockpot.
Terrific! Love your show! 🌸🌺🙋♀️🇨🇦
This video doesn’t just show how to cook — it shows why we cook. What’s your ‘why’ in the kitchen?
I love your taco!
“Trashy stuff like this! 😂😂😂 that’s exactly what I think about Velveeta! Great and easy taco recipes, getting ready to make that taco seasoning. Thank you Nicole, you are wonderful! ❤
