Yummy 😋!!
This episode is chockfull of great tips and ideas along with two brilliant recipes. Time to gather up the ingredients! Thank you!!!❤
I'm on holiday, and back tracking on my channels l subscribe to, cutting off the ones that has become boring in the new year along with my followers. Starting with ATK. Julia Collin Davison & Bridget Lancaster older, not interesting & BORING!!! Where's your fresh faces?
My first time making vegetarian enchiladas. I thank you for the new recipe and I really enjoyed the enchilada. ☺️
I can't focus whey they cook, because the long hair blonde it's so pretty white respect, anybody know the Instagram or Facebook wherever jajaja
I'm roasting radishes and brussel sprouts to go with my pork chops and now thinking of making them coated with cereal but thinking of rice krispies since I don't have corn flakes. Very much enjoyed this video. Thanks.
i watched this
Why has America's Test Kitchen so reluctant to use their hands when preparing and mixing ingredients. You have made cooking an unappetizing sterile environment for "home cooking". It is like you are afraid of the food you preparing to EAT. Home cooks are not operating restaurants. Washing hands is the easiest practice in any kitchen.
Great recipes.
So, is the baking soda trick for the ground beef from Elle Simone? She used it in her sloppy joe recipe to surprise of her technique at the time. Now it’s presented as ‘new’, but her contribution isn’t mentioned. Just curious.
Omg, I definitely need to try those enchiladas ASAP. 😍
I’ve seen you add baking soda to meat before. Does that work only with red meat or any meat? Ground turkey?
I love your term for cheese — nature's glue!
Taco Bell is great for anyone wanting quick and easy tacos, but your way is far better.
😋😍😉😳❤😻🥵🥰🌹🌸🌷🙏👍👏🦜 ✟✡✟ U S A
13:31 lol Erin, I am Bridget, ok Erin
Look great but I would have thrown them under the broiler at the end to brown the cheese a little.
Delicious 😋
"Mexican food the best in the world" Anthony Bourdain
The seeds don't have the heat. The pith does.
But who wants watery meat? This is the same problem with brining: it dilutes flavor.
I can't be the only one who noticed the 2 subtle innuendos in this video. The first was "Can I give you a little hot sauce in your taco? How about some sour cream?" during the building of the tacos dorados and "Oh you're a peeker?" during the prep of the tomatillos for the enchiladas.
Do you wash your onions, if so, when.
"Yes" is the only acceptable answer when asked how many tacos you want
For someone who does not, can not, stand cilantro, (because it tastes like used dish water to me), I will substitute parsley for that herb…
Wow the tacos dorados and enchiladas looks so delicious, I grew up eating all the different types of Mexican tacos dorados and different types of enchiladas that my mom would always make as I was growing up here in The Mexican neighborhood of Pilsen in the Heart of Chicago. My respects to you Bridget and Julia you both make an awesome cooking team 👍👍
Just awesome 👏
You keep using chili powder. You never say which chili you are using the powder from. There are hundreds if not thousands of different varieties of chilis. Are you using the "chili powder" sold as chili powder but contains many ingredients of which one of them is actually chili powder. If that is the case wouldn't you be better off to add the other spices in controlled quantities and separately? "Chili powder" contains many spices. Some are – Cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. They won't even tell you what they put in. They just say "spices". I prefer to add the things I want instead of their choice. I especially like to use specific chili powder of my choice, especially when making enchilada sauce. That is where I use Albuquerque chili powder which is just the dried peppers that are ground into a powder, no other added ingredients. It is just like using an Italian seasoning. Would you do that if you were showing how to make Spaghetti sauce? I don't think so, I think you would add all the spices individually giving quantities on each ingredient.
Most of the authentic Mexican foods either have pork or chicken. Especially tamales! 😋
Noooo…don't put ground beef in tacos. Meat should be shredded or cubed (or even the whole thin steak), but not ground. At least not if you want authentic Mexican!!!
I don't do black beans. That is odd for me because I will eat anything put in front of me except black beans and those little baby ears of corn that you get in Chinese food.
Amazing!
I can’t wait to make it!! Thank you 😊❤️❤️
Heat is not found in the seeds! Shame on you TK.
Looks AWESOME!!!!!!!
Hello!
I love tacos Doritos!
These tacos tasted like meatloaf tacos. Not good and very tomatoey (sweet).
that was one of my favorite episodes…I fell smitten by you both…oh, and there were tacos!
These were amazing, I’m kinda obsessed since I made them the first time a few weeks ago.
You got to stop using ground beef for tacos or enchiladas. Its just plain bad. Use shreded beef of chicken but of course that takes time and its worth it. We never use ground beef on those items mentioned.
I’m sorry ATK , this is like eating tacos at Taco Bell👎🏻 or Del Taco👎🏻.
The onion flip tip is genius! Thanks! ♥️
Erin making white girl "Mexican" food. Not authentic in the least bit.
In Texas we eat a lot of tacos!
This recipe looks really yummy 🤤 I’m gonna try it for my veg kids 💗 Thank you!
