Recipe:
Put together some things in a flour tortilla and call it tacos.
Okay but for real, there is a method to this flat burrito madness.
You have some kind of protein: chicken, crispy chicken, beef, pork. In addition to the onions and garlic I put in some smoked paprika and cumin into the beef along with salt and pepper. Salt is absolutely essential, and I highly recommend adding other spices.
There are a variety of veggies you can put in including tomatoes, fried onions, mystery green peppers, cabbage.
Sauces are key...in addition to some kind of cheese sauce (usually), spicy mayo or Algerian sauce is very popular. Then often some more shredded cheese to melt.
And French fries.
Then you get a gigantic flour tortilla and wrap it up and grill it.
I'm not sure if there's a specific order to all of this. But I do know that you make it first, and then you eat it. - Навчання та стиль
Soooo...are French tacos actually tacos?
Only in second edition Dungeons and Dragons, but it's spelled wrong: thac0
There is no problem with this taco. Exept one thing. Where is the tacos beret!!!
duh thats why they call them tacos
i guess so kinda
If you use your imagination, everything can be tacos
The most alarming parts are not when he calls things by wrong names, but those few times when he actually names things correctly
I am questioning reality on so many levels o.o
Me thinking “what is the béchamel sauce *really* ” 🤦🏽♀️
@@PoppyCorn144 It's sauce Mornay, basically béchamel with cheese in.
@@PoppyCorn144
got me thinking 🤔... what is reality?
The margarine throws me off the most. Like, he calls it béchamel, but I assume you're supposed to use real butter??
I'm mad about two things: that the bechamel was made in reverse order, and that it looks fine anyway
hahaha. It was surprisingly indistinguishable
Also that was a Mornay, not Bechamel.
@@aoeuable I mean a mornay is a bechamel. A square is a rectangle type of situation.
@@aoeuable a mornay is just a bechamel with fermented cow juice added.
@@Null_Experis if i saw this comment without any contextualization my first assumption would be yogurt
"Some people have the "gaul" to say that this isn't actually a taco"
Good one
"Add a dash of flour for a burst of flavour" - that's my motto.
Flavor??? Hilarious! 😺

The fact that you spoke in French for the entire video shows us how committed you are to making such high quality content.
um......what?
@@mg725 He said "THE FACT THAT YOU SPOKE IN FRENCH FOR THE ENTIRE VIDEO SHOWS US HOW COMMITTED YOU ARE TO MAKING SUCH HIGH QUALITY CONTENT."
Close, but there's definitely a moment there where he spoke flemish!
@@nickshutteretc wow.
It sounded like he was speaking some seriously Frankified Frisian.
I like how in France everything is called by a different name. Except for pepper pepper pepper because we all know that you can't call it anything else. Superior content.

It’s so good to see some classical French cooking on a UA-cam channel
This is an actual French street food
@@louiearmstrong You can tell because of the french fries.
@@louiearmstrong Huh, where is this "French street" that you're talking about?
Julia Child would be so proud.
@@StuffandThings_ it's like fast food (15 years ago the kebab used to be more popular) except that it litteraly takes 30 to 50 min to be served. It comes in sizes by number of meat: 1 meat, 2, 3 and the maxi :4. the biggest ones are huge and can easily make 2 whole meals. (that's usually why we order tacos: to be stuffed with bad quality food)
Finally a cooking video that's not full of mistakes and inaccuracies. Good job, Babish!

Are you sure it was Babish? I was sure it was chef John
The extremely authentic and definitely not entirely incorrect “Bechamel” was the best part of the video
Technically it's called a sauce Mornay (a Bechamel + cheese), but I guess it doesn't really matter in this video. xD
I have never thought of using flour for a burst of flavor.
Thank you!
I plan on adding it to everything from now on.
Just tried it on my bagel and nearly blew my eyebrows off with flavour.
@@MsLilyPickles I dare you to sprinkle a wee dash on a baguette. orgasim

@@origiginal8056UA-cam channels about French tacos
Hello, mexican here, I confirm this is an accurate recipe for french tacos, cant wait for the baguette next week, it looks delicious.
… hola
You mean the croissant
@@gusdavid7798 In Mexico croissant is called baguette
@@yousuckatcooking but the vid said "...cheese croissant." 😅
@@gusdavid7798 Yeah, but he was speaking French.
this video is somehow more unsettling than anything else on the channel. you've achieved the uncanny valley for recipes
To clarify a few things. Tacos always is plural. It's a tacos not a taco. It was also invented in Lyon by Arab immigrants which explains why it's basically a wrap. You can fill them with a lot of different things (even cordon bleus), but you always need fries and a cheese sauce (unless you have dietary restrictions obv) to make it right. You'll add a second sauce of choice when you order them like curry, algerian, tzatziki, or mayo. And most places have other veggies and such you can slap in. (some add lettuce which is just wrong) I usually get mine with chicken tenders and curry sauce with bell peppers and caramelized onions.
They aren't a taco, but they are a tacos and as frustrating as that can be when you first arrive here you'll find it's actually very easy to navigate if you just go to a mexican food place for a taco.
I love how pepper, pepper, pepper is somehow always safe from the cognitive dissonance
Repetition makes it easy to remember member member
did anyone get the 425 instead of 4 fundo?
One thing I really admire about your videos is your vast knowledge of food and cooking terms.
Thank you. I have studied several recipes.
@@yousuckatcooking with your several recipes worth of knowledge, you should consider writing a cooking blog.
@@yousuckatcooking You demonstrate cooking knowledge the way Miles Morales gets a 100 on a true/false quiz.
There is something so special about this channel: whenever I see its old videos they feel like they were just got uploaded; so ahead of its time that its content never gets old
"Si vous gaspillez une goutte de bechamel, vous mourrez" 😂 very accurate.
Somehow putting the words Taco and French together seems internationally illegal 😂
But look at those fresh tortilla baguettes!
@@Maarne_ india gets a pass, they made Pavitr Prabhakar
why, because Mexican Pizza sounds so very very internationally legal?
@@mg725 mexican pizza is literally just pizza with beans, chorizo, onions and jalapeño slices, chill
Fusion, baby!
It's honestly one of the "tamest" version of the French tacos, usually you'll have 3 kinds of meat (like chicken nuggets, ground beef and a cordon bleu) , veggies such as tomatoes and lettuce, fries and a lot of the cheese sauce. It's a caloric bomb and delicious
this guy o'tacos
Well done on correctly identifying nuggets, beef, and cordon bleu as only three different kinds of meat, chicken, ham, and beef
That sounds awful
@@daisyblooms4813 Its insanely good. Probably the best junk food I've ever eaten.
@@daisyblooms4813 It's genuinely absurd how good it tastes, and 95% of the time you can customize it from a wide array of meats, veggies and sauces. (Or add gratin on top, or bacon or whatever you want).
Now of course it's probably not that healthy (as is most junkfood) because it's insanely calorific, but my god does it taste good.
It feels sacrilegious to eat because you genuinely wonder how that brick of food tastes that good.
(It's also much more practical to eat on the go than a mexican tacos because it stays together much more better).
I love that the béchamel was completely backwards but still turned out fine, lol. Goes to show how versatile a cook can really be.
i thought i was losing my mind watching that....
the amount of having-a-stroke-energy leaking out of this video is incredible
You've really outdone yourself with this one, you've somehow managed to package pure unadulterated sarcasm in the guise of a recipe. This is the quality content we all subbed for.
This is literally how I follow every recipe. All of my ingredients are "close enough."
and I can just hear Gordon Ramsay saying "but no cigah"
@@mg725 "you donut"
As a blind viewer Im always glad for the running commentary so that I can also cook along
I find it difficult to follow along with videos when I'm cooking, so I really appreciate the written recipe in the description. It's so detailed and informative.
Thanks for pointing it out, really helped me troubleshoot the problems I was running into
YSAC disappears for a while, then comes out of the woodwork with the most baffling video yet, in the best possible way
It’s very in character
A couple of helpful tips:
-Make sure to boil the pesto to bring out the flavor
-Don't forget to debone the pork rinds as they are a choking hazard
-When in doubt, add more oyster sauce for the sweetness
Other than that, looks good.
But when do i add in the ox tail?
@@dylanking6960 Add it in after plating as a raw garnish to contrast temperatures
So happy people get to learn about my favorite dish i grew up eating

Aah yes, as a certified Mexican living in France, I approve 100% of this video. I can't wait to see your next recipe... Moldovan pambazos, Danish Tamales, or Serbian chimichangas perhaps??

It is unironically an authentic french tacos to be honest, insanely popular junk food over there
yknow through this whole vid I thought "french tacos" was a joke name for whatever food you were actually making and now I am shocked to find out that's actually what it's called
Same!
haha same! I googled it after seeing your comment.
In general, your videos are informative and educational. This particular video made me both angry and enraged; I will be following this recipe next taco Tuesday.
I swear this community is insane, the comments crack me up as much as the video ❤
"tune in next week when I show you how to make a delicious cheese croissant"
I'm holding you to that statement buddy - I'm expecting to see a new video next week
Actually, in France we make croissant-sandwich with ham, cheese, bechamel and dry croissant from few days before. Some people will say it's heresy, but there are just cowards
I'm a French-Mexican dude, who also just finished culinary school in France.
This curious invention, which is composed of a large flour tortilla, fries, cheese sauce and meat of your choice has nothing to do with the corn tortilla, chopped up meat, cilantro, onions, lime and fresh hot sauce taco that Mexicans eat. It's a much fattier, more rich sort of wrap that still debates its origins between two major cities in the Alps: Grenoble and Lyon.
What is definitely in common, is that whether I'm in Mexico hanging out with my compadres drinking some tequila or ice-cold beers, or whether I'm in France with my potes downing cheap wine bottles in an apartment, either version of the "taco" or "tacos" will successfully cure your hangover like a god-damn champ, and that's all that matters.
Do you know if these cure hangovers in advance? Asking for a friend.

You have an impeccable sense of humor, sir. 😂 'Nuff said!
Thank you for this excellent introduction to French cuisine
Never felt so passive-aggressively insulted while watching a recipe. Great job!
I just watched a 50 min video on people who correct others on the internet. This is beautiful.
I have no idea how I found this channel, but that was hilarious (and looks really good as well).
This feels like a recipe video from a parallel universe in which etymology developed differently at some point
oh yes. this describes best what i felt like.
Usually videos like this are prefaced with some kind of trigger warning for people prone to seizures.
You need merch! Love your channel. I look forward to every new notification!
I had an aneurism watching this and I loved every second of it.
I had a french taco a couple of days ago, didn‘t think it was a real thing and that the place I ate it at just made it up. Seems to be a thing though.
It very much is a thing and is one of the most popular fast foods here c:
It is pretty good, just like soft shell tacos tbh, with grill marks, and french fries, and any sauce you can get your hands on, and any type of meat you can find
Did they ask you: SaladeTomateOignon?
its made all the funnier when the kebaberie you're buying it from advertises that they sell "Tex-Mex" food
@@sofia-tx6joNo there are no veggies in the french tacos (maybe onions and jalapenos), the world famous "Salade, tomates, ognions chef !" is exclusive to French (and Belgian) kebabs
In France, Belgium, and North Africa, French taco are the most popular fast food since 2017.
Its main ingredients are:
-Sauce: an array of international sauces like American, Brazilian, Andalous, etc. A brand called Nawhal’s is leading the french tacos market.
-Meat: Plain Chicken, Chicken Tikka or curry, Ground beef, Nuggets, Tenders, Turkey, or Cordon blue.
-Fries (cooked)
-Bechamel sauce so that the french taco isn’t dry.
-Wide Tortilla
The inventor of French Tacos is unknown but some say it’s either a Moroccan or Algerian expat.
Personally, I enjoy my french tacos with Tikka chicken with Biggy sauce (Also called big mac sauce).
If you want to try authentic french tacos in France or Belgium, visit Tacos de Lyon, Pampam, or Tacos de Bruxelles as they are the most popular chain fast food restaurants for french tacos.
The American version of this is the "California Burrito". Some are good, some are not. No two places seem to make theirs the same.
They also use (in france at least) a "cheese sauce" often supposed to be gruyere flavored. It's pretty terrible.
Tikka + biggy, bravo Monseigneur
This video is MADDENING. And I love it.
As a french, I felt offended with every single sentence you said in that video XD
Nice job
le moment où il a dit "margarine", j'ai gueulé : "mais qu'est-ce que tu fous avec cette merde là ?" et puis je me suis souvenu qu'il emploie exprès les mauvais termes pour désigner les ingrédients ^^ quel con çui-là alors ^^ m'a bien eu ^^
This episode has made me realize that I've learned a language that only YSAC speaks.
3:05 that's gonna be the most unique looking macaron I had ever seen in my life. Waiting for the macaron video next 👍
Maybe he'll make macaroons instead
Bro is out here CONFUSING people with item names 😂😂 I love it.
You broke my brain when you made the béchamel backwards AND IT WORKED
I love that everything is called by a different name, really adds the suspense
I ate French tacos my whole life, since I'm french, and your video only made me now realise that they were not "normal" tacos.
I don't know if ironic or not, nonetheless, this comment made me extremely sad. When I was younger this abomination didn't even exist.
@@Knoloaify osef c'est bon

Love how it goes from episode 54 to episode 57 👌
I greatly admire the extremes to which YSAC goes to get everything authentic and accurate. As an information professional, I find his dedication breathtaking.
Love the comment section for once on UA-cam 😊 Thanks YSAC for the great vids!
absolutely cryptic, fantastic.
Such dedication to master French for a cooking video
I'm so glad a non French youtuber finally made an almost perfect french tacos. Even if it's very controversial even here in France, it is one of the most famous street foods you can have (almost as popular as a kebab or a burger) and is very appreciated when you drink a lot of beer and other sort of spicy water or when you face the consequencies of such drinkng the next day. But beware where you eat it, most of the places making it are either not that great or even dangerous (rip to your bowels), they are only a few gems where they make delicious and super rich tacos, you have to know where's the good stuff.
The only complaint on this version is that we add another sauce in addition to the cheese sauce, usually mayonnaise or any kind of sauce you would find in a kebab shop (algérienne an dbiggy burger are the best imo).
Honestly, although this sounds like it would be true, I've actually never had a problem any of the times I've had Tacos in Lyon, and I've had it in quite a few places!
Lyon is one of the best cities to eat tacos too
@@pamplemoussefurtif8220 ummm ackshually it's Grenoble that has the best. Le Kiosque Oriental is the best in the city.
@@RealLargeManTheGiantOne Lyon might be one of the best but Grenoble is the best
this instructional video on norse fried rice with peking pizza was very helpful!
Dw at around 2:00, although he doesnt show it, he did wash the baguettes with bleach to make sure you can eat it without a risk
That's a f****** tortilla
As a lvl 1 chef, I want to thank you for making me lvl 100 chef boss, not even Gordon Ramsay can hate on your guides
Dunno if you noticed but Ramsey has been reaaaal quiet ever since this video dropped.
@@yousuckatcookinghard to make noise online when you're busy stuffing your face with French tacos 🤷♂️
There is an old French word, "tacot", that has the same pronunciation as "taco" (final T is silent, of course). It's a slang word for a rusty old car. It can also be used to mean taxi (even if it's a brand new car)
To avoid confusion, I think French people would tend to say "tacoS", pronouncing the S even for a singular taco 🙃
If that panninni’d saucy tartare flapjack isn’t a rusty ol car, I don’t know what is.
Yeah, we say "tacos" for one "french taco" and " bon week' " for "have a nice week-end" because we are too pretentious to even know where the words we use come from.
bien joué
I’m glad this channel exists honestly. Meme or not I guess I’m a pretty good cook. Thanks for making me feel good :)
Somehow this is both one of your calmest and most chaotic videos at the same time
I just landed in france, now I've got to go look for a french taco
you can easly find tacos everywhere, usually they also sells kebabs and other types of sandwich in places where you can buy a tacos (except for place that are specialize in it like o'tacos). also, the s is pronounce even if you are talking of one tacos
also, if you are american, fast food sizes are smaller in france
I found your channel 3 days ago and watched every single video of yours. I was wandering, will you upload more pure golden brown videos. And here we go! I did not know that you can also read people's minds.
Best channel on UA-cam.
Absolutely brilliant
Haven't been here in a while.
Love the new names we're calling things.
Great video mate, your comedy never gets old!
Watching this felt like watching a cooking show from an alternate universe
As a French, I can confidently say that I would NEVER have guessed that you were going to make a video about our Lyon-Based beautiful, sexy and greasy Tacos !
Most of the time, the cheesy sauce is the main element that fast-food promotes, because it makes the whole thing way smoother to eat and not too dry. Anyway, super happy to see this on your channel, looking forward to watch the ChEeSe CrOiSsAnT recipe !

to this day have not found a better descriptor for the various mixing motions and such in cooking than wang-jangleing. Unironicaly an irreplacable part of my kitchen vocabulary
This reminds me of a Mediterranean taco I invented.
Prosciutto, arugula, jalapenos, feta cheese and a creamy jalapeno sauce wrapped in pita bread.
It's best if the prosciutto is freshly picked. So good.
Yeah, but have you tried Japanese haggis?
