Looks better than T-B's by a lot. Watching you cook(e) it occurs to me that my cooking would go much easier and faster if I had that fast-forwarding and editing stuff going for me.
My dude... I have been looking for a chalupa recipe for years now. Some great tricks in this video. I never even though to blitz the meat in a processor after cooking for better texture and flavor. Buying a food processor ASAP lol Could you save the grease from the meat as kind of a poor man's beef tallow? Either way, thanks for the recipe! Oh, congrats on 3K! Keep it going!
Glad you found that video. Even I was amazed at how good the chalupa shells turned out. I need to make another batch soon. There is another way to get the meat really fine like that. The "meat masher" you can buy off amazing for about $7 work fairly decently. They just take a bit more work. Much easier to store too. As for making beef tallow, not sure. I know it has to be purified and filtered or it will go rancid really fast. I di store chorizo grease and bacon grease in the freezer and it keeps for a very long time. I'm sure you could do that with beef grease too. Just keep it frozen until you use it.
Thanks for sharing your recipes, tips and tricks I cant wait to try it out 🙂 Can you do the Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken burrito. That is awesome and id love to be able to ,make that at home 🙂
Well you answered my question that I never asked and now I know you got to make the chalupa shells yourself and fry them 😊 and now I know how to make a chalupa supreme and a Baja chalupa love your Taco Bell copycat recipes I will be doing them there's the only best deal at Taco Bell is, they're $5 box 🎁 which is 550 with tax including a drink that's the only deal at Taco Bell have a great day I've been enjoying your videos and I have subscribed
Not sure but it sounds like maybe they are a bit too fried before you try to fold them? How hot is the oil? It should be no more than 400f. You lay the shell in the hot oil flat and cook for a few seconds (10 to15 tops) then flip it and fold so the cooked side is on the inside. Then just cook them until they get nice and golden color.
@@howtocooke That could be. It was fairly hot. Also, I used baking soda instead of baking powder so maybe I messed up the dough? I'll try making them exactly like you did next time. (they still tasted good but they broke apart lol)
Baking soda is very different than baking powder so that was it. Should be a piece of cake with some fresh baking powder. The old saying is powder makes it puff and soda makes it spread.
@@howtocooke That makes sense! I'm definitely a newbie at this but thanks to content like yours and others, perhaps one day I'll be decent at it lol. Thanks again!
Thanks, I missed everybody! I'm still waiting for doctors appointments but the shoulder is good enough to make a few videos for now. I only dislocated it once making this. 🤞
Its a Cuiinart Elemental 8 cup and it has to be at least 6 or 7 years old. I'm sure they have already updated it but I really do like it and I'd guess the new version would be worth having too.
The Baja sauce is nothing like the chipotle sauce. The closest sauce they have to the Baja is the spicy ranch. That doesn’t really taste like the Baja sauce either but it’s WAY closer than the chipotle. 🤡
Thanks for the comment. I haven't had the baja sauce since they took it off the menu all those years ago. Going by memory, they seemed closer to me but you may be right.
Mission now makes chalupa shells! I still would prefer his over Mission's though.
This guy is great!!! Entertaining and helpful with getting it right..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Finally a cooking show I can get behind ❤ also laughed out loud multiple times 🤣

@@howtocooke Ah! I have one of those meat masher thingies. I'll give that a go first.
I keep some bacon grease on hand too.
Thanks for the tips!

If you buy Scottish oatmeal ,it is already ground saves some time! I buy it in the bulk section of my winco grocery store!
Good to know. Thanks
Awesome video! Just one question!! ....why do my chalupa shell always break apart so easily when I deep fry them and try to fold them???
Not sure but it sounds like maybe they are a bit too fried before you try to fold them? How hot is the oil? It should be no more than 400f.

It takes practice to get good at anything so keep it up! I'm always happy to help answer questions so don't hesitate to ask.

The chalupas at taco bell are SO shit now, that I HAVE to make them at home...
Whatever was that comment necessary
If they are so bad then people wouldn’t want to make them think use your brain
