That is not Al Carbon no charcoal WTF?
Where are the coals??? You don't cook steak on a gas grill. Use lump charcoal not briketts. Jeesh
Sour Cream …. Wtf … did he get the idea from Taco Bell? It’s not a “supreme” dude… these New England cooks need to take a vacation in Mexico … they are well intended but miss the mark
Sonora Mexico is not a town. It is a state. It’s like saying “the town of Arkansas USA… and tacos Al car on are better in the state of Chihuahua or Nuevo León. Sonora is one of the poorest most desolate states in Mexico. The states of Chihuahua and Nuevo León are big on beef and tacos de carne asada.
Why all of a sudden everybody using chipotle ingredients? My Great great grandma been using this spice for years!
Hello!
Thanks…
No. No. No. No. A million times no… Repeat after me:👏 Mexicans 👏DO 👏 Not 👏Cook👏Their👏 Taco 👏 Meat👏 Medium 👏 Well.
*Edit… Now that I think about it, nowhere in Mexico does anyone refer to tacos as "al carbon." We usually just call it "carne asada." Even if it's not "asada" per se.
WARNING! Do not play the “I’m just gonna” drinking game.
No written recipe unless you subscribe and pay, no thanks.
No I can beat my hubbie at his own speciality! Thx ATK
Steak looked so tender.
And uuuumm wheres the carbon???
Lmfao your way off ese …. Thats not how you make tacos al carbon …😂😂😂
fist taste is cilantro, last taste is cilantro
This taco looks sad.
Goodness!!! 👅
Not sure why all these cooking shows think we want to see or eat raw meat. If there's blood dripping out of the meat it isn't done cooking. It's so gross.
premade tortillas in the us are usually garbage, get some maseca and a griddle
😀😁😂😃😄😅 no puedo creerlo! Tacos al carbon! Y el carbón? De mezquite por favor! Aceite de oliva? Whaaat? Le quitas la grasita (es la que le da sabor), picas las cebollitas asadas? Y todavía les pones crema agria????? Donde jodidos comiste estos "tacos al carbón "? Y las diferentes salsas (roja, verde, pico de gallo o bandera), guacamole y rabanitos? No mijo, te falta mucho… 😕😱
An ideal Delivery System for a world of flavors!
First of all where is the charcoal the second of all where is the guacamole and last but not least why the heck are you putting sour cream on those tacos 😂😂😂😂
Starts by saying “Al Carbon means to cook or grill over coals”, then proceeds to use a gas grill….

Nice video
Love the vids but why why why do all Mexican style dishes "need" cilantro??? A lot of folks really don't care for the flavor… Jalapeno yes!… Cilantro not always!
The "town" of Sonora, México??? 😂 This is actually offensive, and clearly determines how ignorant these gringos are about Mexico and its gastronomy. These, not all. Please at least get a map to find your bordering state, STATE OF SONORA, almost as big as Texas!!!
Lo siento mucho, pero in Mexico, we just throw steaks on the grill, and then put them in corn tortillas with salsa. The salsa is always the "trick" because tacos are tacos, amigazos! Don't overcomplicate ANYTHING in Mexican cuisine. It's simply delicious in its simplicity! ¡Buen provecho! 🍲😋🕊️
You really have not had tacos al carbón, Cummins? Chipotle? To marinate? Challots look raw, cant finish watching, plus you dont use flank
Sonora is not a town, is a state , and flank steak is not used for carne asada tacos, the toppings are pico de gallo, salsa and guacamole, this is not real stuff, not even close and Sonorans we don't eat our tacos in corn tortillas, carne asada always us served in flour tortillas the worst part is sour cream!!!,keep trying maybe in a 100 years!!
Generous on the cumin again?? Guys, yo maje Mexican food, get out of the US and into Mexico, please!!! And no sour cream either, you just messed up the taco!!!
How hard is it to find a Mexican cook who can make these 10 times better? Just go to your nearest taqueria ATK. This guy is terrible.
Outstanding
can Keith just marry me?
