  • Here is the way I like to make Mexican barbacoa at home. I put all of my ingredients in the Crock Pot overnight and wake up to tender fall apart barbacoa. As a kid, I remember waiting in a line out the door at our neighborhood Mexican meat market for fresh corn tortillas, menudo and barbacoa. You can make barbacoa tacos dresses with your favorite salsa, fresh onion, cilantro and a squeeze of lime for the perfect breakfast taco.
    INGREDIENTS
    2 bls beef cheek meat (stew meat or beef tongue work too)
    2 tsp salt (1 1/2 tsp if using fine table salt)
    2 to 3 cloves fresh garlic
    2 bay leaves
    1/2 small onion
    5 to 8 drops of liquid smoke (optional)
    2 tbls water (optional - to combine with liquid smoke)
    CROCK POT
    amzn.to/2vU4ZWX
    Crock Pot
    Cook overnight on LOW for 12 hours
    OR cook on HIGH for 8 hours

      Lol! My grandfather always told the stories of his life on the rancho in Mexico. He would talk about how they made true barbacoa...as we stood in line at the meat market to get barbacoa. 😂I'm like, times change abuelo and the neighbors here in the city don't want you cooking meat in a big hole in your yard. Thank you for the laugh! Have a good one. 😃

    @fr3shaz1miz 5 лет назад +2

    Omg!!! I am a taco addict. I fell in love with Barbacoa the first time I had it. I didn’t know what it was, I just knew it was tender, shredded beef. Ever since then, I’ve always looked for it on menus at different taquerias. None have been as good as the first place.
    Then I stumbled across this video and have been eyeing it ever since. But I didn’t pay attention to the packaging in the video and just assumed the recipe would be expensive. I finally went and bought the ingredients for like $10 at a Mexican grocery store (beef cheek is harder to find in the Detroit, MI area).
    I followed your recipe (almost) exactly. I added a sprinkle of adobo and I had to add water as it was cooking because my meat didn’t produce enough liquid. But still, THIS WAS THE BEST BARBACOA EVER!!! It was just as good, if not better, than the restaurant I get it from. I just made this yesterday and I’m already thinking about making it this weekend because I didn’t get enough meat.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I will be trying more recipes.
    (Sorry for the long comment. I’m just so overjoyed)

So I got this in the cooker about 12:30 am, so about noon-ish tomorrow, we'll be eating great barbacoa (fingers crossed I did it exactly as you showed). I can't wait to wake up to the house smelling wonderful.

      Nice! I hope you guys like it. Just remember to take it out whole then shred as you eat it. It keeps the meat moist.

    Thank you so much for sharing Guchujang Mama. I just wanted to let you know for any of you that would like to try cooking this a faster way, you can cook this in an instapot on manual for 36 minutes, just wait 10 minutes for the pressure to naturally release. I tried it with 2 cups off beef broth, & it turned out PERFECT! Less than an hour! I made mexican rice on thd stove top while I waited for it to cook.

    Barbacoa everyday for breakfast is the best way to start the day. A street taco truck parks in my favorite grocery store AND every time I'm in town i get all the barbacoa meat she has for breakfast for my daily taco fix. She also makes this green sauce that is out of this world and is sounds just like yours. Now I just have to find beef cheeks in this part of Texas to make it myself. I have seen another one of your videos that you used chunks of beef to make barbacoa I might have to resort to that choice myself. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of the best food recipes online.

    My mom used to work at the Matamoros Meat Market on Irvington back in the day, that's where she met my dad and I always drive by Gerardo's on my way to work but just didn't know if they still sold barbacoa. Will need to stop by! Thank you for this recipe, am trying this tonight with two beef cheeks I just got from HEB.

    Finding your channel is like falling down the rabbit hole. I’m completely addicted to it and all the childhood recipes I grew up with in San Antonio. Thank you for helping me share this with my husband and son! I, unfortunately, did not get to serve them all these yummy dishes before I lost my mother and grandmother. But I know my ladies are smiling upon us as we toast tacos in their honor and memory!

    •  6 лет назад +1

      How wonderful! I always wonder how people come across my channel. Glad you found your way here and what a wonderful way to remember loved ones. I lost my Dad 3 years ago and one if the recipe videos I have for an easy Mexican rice was the way he made it. It's not authentic by any means and you'd be surprised by how many hateful comments I get because I am not Mexican enough, my Spanglish is bad or the way I cook is not authentic, but comments like yours make it worth while. My cooking might not be authentic to some, but it was delicious food I grew up cooking that reminds me of my relatives. Thank you and thank you for trying out my recipes. I truly apprecate it. 😊💖

      I fell down the rabbit hole yet again.
      I live in Tennessee but was born and raised in San Antonio. I literally just got back to Tennessee today after being in SAT for my Godfather’s 100th birthday celebration.
      Of course this Texas girl had to shop at all the HEB’s she passed! I bought beef cheeks and lengua to bring home. So I now need to rewatch this to make barbacoa.

    You and I must have the same abuelito. Barbacoa is my favorite meat. I too have loved it since I was little and had it on weekends as well. I have never been able to know how it has been prepared. There are only a handful of restaurants throughout Texas that know how to prepare it.Thank you, thank you, thank you for the video. I am going to go and prepare it your way to see how it comes out. I love Barbacoa. And I never figured it would be this easy to make.

      every mexican american in Texas i know only use a cows head wrap in foil or oven bags put in oven at 250 for 6 hours been making it for over 50 years now 68 if you like use onion, cilantro, dice tomato or use chunky salsa from walmart after cooking it use flour or corn tortillas. Barbacoa is mostly a breakfast taco dish.

    I have watched this video again and again. One can find a variation of this technique in every indigenous culture: Indonesia, northeast of Brazil, the Pampas of South America, Mexico, Hawai and so on. Bury your food on a rock lined hole, a layer of hardwood coals, cover it with banana leaves and aromatic leaves, build a fire over it and let it slow cook the whole day. Of course in Mexico the indigenous people have developed it to a science. You have found a very interesting way to do it at home on the crock pot, which, when we think about it, it is physically “the whole on the ground”.
    When I smoke brisket, pork shoulder, etc, I save the liquid on the drip pan, remove the fat and concentrate the wood flavorings present. I freeze that and use to flavor dishes on the crockpot. I am going to look for cheek meat on the local Latino áreas tomorrow. Well done. Thanks for sharing such interesting recipes.
