    Pro tip: don’t boil the chiles to death. You will lose some punch of the flavor to the water. Just soak them in the hot water till they soften. You’ll get a better flavor/color ❤

    If you want to get closer to the flavor of naranja agria (sour or bitter orange), mix some grapefruit juice with the orange and the lime juice. Also, get the least sweet orange variety that you can find, look for tart ones.
    And, by the way, you can say carne adobada or cerdo adobado, either way is correct, depending on the noun you’re modifying. As for the marinade itself, it’s called adobo.

    If you’re going to make your own tortillas, you should get your self a tortilla press. They turn out so much better. And that dough definitely needed more water.

    Amazing recipe. We made this for staff meal where I work and honestly, it was so good that no one said a word while we were eating because everyone was so focused on the food.
    We used ground pork mixed with ground short rib, which is what we had to work with that night, so I think it's safe to say you could use ground meat at home, too. (Also, we threw some of the salsa in with some cooking rice to make a sort of pseudo-Mexican rice, which turned out really well.) 10/10!

    I’m glad you are on YT. It’s the New Frontier of the culinary world. Even OG chefs like Lidia are launching new episodes made expressly for YT, not just reruns of their old pbs shows.
    YT is all about the home cook, the self-taught- the ones who have restaurant background maybe. It’s stepping away from the game show, reality show, aspect of Food Network and competition shows which it has become. People want to learn how to cook something delicious and are turning away from the elitism of chefs at high end restaurants. It’s “Cooking for everyone,” for the regular working folks, not so much for the uber wealthy.
    Stephen, we so appreciate you! Keep up the good work!

    I actually never differentiated between pastor and adobada. I figured they were the same thing just regional semantics e.g. pastor is more central mexico and adobada is a northern thing. I think in Mexico city it's kinda optional if they use achiote or not. I prefer to use it for the color it stains on the pork when I marinate it. This made me curious and looked it up deeper and seems like the main difference is the cooking style. Pastor = Spit roasted, Adobada = stewed or slow cooked on a grill? I think you sorta said it but seemed like you were saying it was more about the marinade as the differentiator.
    Also you two have great chemistry :)
