Jamie Oliver is at it again. This time he has chosen Tex-Mex as the cuisine to destroy. There is so little about this dish that is authentic and then he went and substituted GREEK YOGURT for sour cream!

You f**king creep, idiot, bastard ? You spend your time judging others ? Who will judge you ? You are not even near of Jamie oliver and stay away from his videos if you don't like his cooking process. Such a Cheap person you are. Focus on improving yourself rather than passing and commenting others.
he put jam on fry rice, im surprised that you're suprised he put yogurt in texmex
The title of this video should be, “Why does Jamie Oliver hate other cultures?”
Why not just do a Greek-Mex fusion dish if you want it healthier. Then you could have the Greek yogurt with lime juice, salt, pepper, and chipotle pepper. Ground Lamb with Mexican Oregano (which is from the mint family), salt pepper, chili powder or a blened dried peppers, onions, and paprika and braised it in some beer (preferably mexican) with some bay leaf, and fresh rosemary. I would go with corn tortillas prepared over a flame with small crumbled feta and some pickled onions or hot peppers, with fresh pico de gallo and some salsa verde.
Those are super expensive glasses. Got 2 pairs for $20 last time I was in Australia. Damn the US rips people off. hahaha
Had he called that a Greek or Mediterranean chicken wrap rather than Tex-Mex it would have been a home run rather that a strikeout.
Was about to say after watching the video, the ingredients he used would make a decent Spanish style or Hungarian style chicken
Holy crap... you're not wrong.
Looks kinda Spanish to me; add some parsley and dill and switch those limes to lemons and I'd definitely call it at least Greek-inspired, though.
XD XD XD
Yes... but he also missed the easy common ingredient between Mexican and Mediterranean cuisines: oregano.
While Mediterranean oregano is different from Mexican oregano, it's at least a plausible substitute like paprika for chipotle or ancho.
Once again, Jamie Oliver is showing he's as thoughtless as he is disrespectful.
It's unfortunate that his country sent so many out in search of so many spices and Jaime Oliver is so afraid to use them.
We can celebrate the fact that he put salt and pepper on something.... I've seen videos of his where even that is missing. I think Jamie gets a special joy at serving the blandest food he can possibly make
@@kzizzles8329 That is true 😂 but honestly is doing the bare minimum something to celebrate hahaha
If your British or American, then yes
Ouch, couldn't be more accurate armed with a laser measure
@@avgperson6551American Food isn't bland. At least not at the level of £ritish food.
Stay tuned for Jamie's next video where he makes a traditional Ethiopian vegetarian dish using pineapple, spaghetti, beef, coconut milk, and Mexican oregano.
Don't forget the lemongrass and walrus meat with a little bit of durian and bamboo shoot.... Essentially everything not Ethiopian XD
Lol
As a Mexican in Texas..... He would be chased out of Texas with this dish
😂
@@ChefBrianTsao glad to hear you like Mexican food. Once in awhile i make a big pot of pozole and eat most it myself 😂. Also use to sell homemade butter tortillas until i got too many orders doing it alone, also arthritic hands meant i had to stop. But still make them once in awhile for the kids ( a dozen gone in minutes lol ). Have a great day and keep up the good content. 👍
@@sagasta1983 When I was stationed in Korea they opened a small Mexican restaurant on the base. It became very popular with Korean guests and workers on the base. Mexican food rocks. My one neighbor used to send one of her kids over with a small stack of butter tortillas when she made them. Heaven.
Jamie Olive Oil would fit in perfect in Austin.
@@sagasta1983we’ll just googled Pozole ….. that’s looks soooo delish ❤❤❤ I’m gunna try it over here in Australia 🦘🐊
Tex-Mex centers around beef, chili peppers, cumin, sour cream and yellow cheese. This dish was literally zero for five.
A bit of trivia on Jamie Olive Oil that you may or may not know. The BBC were doing a documentary on River Café (an Italian restaurant in London with 1 Michelin Star). Jamie was a fresh-faced line cook working in that kitchen that day. If I remember correctly he was approximately 2 months into that job. The BBC producer doing the documentary took a liking with him because of his charisma (read: he was very good at blagging) and his young face was what they were looking for to replace an aging cast of TV Chefs. So basically they handpicked a chef with next to nothing cooking experience and brought him to the mainstream. He was a hit with the young female crowd when he was young and babyfaced. It is no surprise that chefs like Gordon who paid their dues in kitchen and actually know a thing or two about cooking dislike Jamie.
This explains tbh why he's actually decent in Italian cooking.
and then he destroyed our school dinners, the bastard
Oh my goodness, that makes *so* much sense. He literally lucked into a media empire.
@@imalittletoxicjustalittleas well as destroyed Asian food and made every Asian Ancestors cry.
@@imalittletoxicjustalittlehe took our fucking turkey twizzlers from us! The prick.
"First I'm gonna show you a technique how to do the sweet corn" *just puts it in a pan.
Wow, amazing, I never would have figured that out on my own, what a chef
Don’t forget you can also cut that corn in half or leave it whole. Revolutionary
I'm a native Texan who's also half Spanish with family from both Spain and Mexico. So I grew up on Tex-mex, traditional Mex, and traditional Spanish cuisine. Watching this literally made me want to punch Jamie in the face for just being so arrogantly WRONG about this entire dish. Mad props to you, Brian for actually having a firm grasp on Tex-Mex cuisine. Love your content.
Do not watch the episode where he reacted to the British Bake off. They do things to Mexican food that are sinful
@@joelbernal-garcia6085 Including the ridiculous and absolutely offensive intro.
Yeah that's how Asians feel about his Asian dishes, etc etc.
Proud Houstonian here from TX as well. I want punch him, then chancla him. Where does this guy get off being paid by a network to royally fuck up so many dishes.
I sure wish I could fuck up my job as bad as he does and still get paid.
GTFO! Jaime Olive OIL..
@@joelbernal-garcia6085 Is that the one where the lady tried to peel an advacado?..... cringe
Just let it be known: he's not universally loved in Britain either. He's a very divisive figure in a way, mainly because his material has involved showing off his own wealth a decade before Instagram normalised such showiness. And almost all of his criticism of the eating habits of the public is aimed at working class families.
Also: I'm british and not a chef but would never dream of not using cumin in a Mexican/Tex Mex dish.
He also took the Turkey Twizzlers away.
I think his intentions are good but he misses the mark badly on a lot of his healthy eating campaigning. A recent example was when he threw his weight behind a government plan to ban 2 for 1 offers on "junk" food, which would disproportionately hurt poorer people, and do nothing to make nutritious food any cheaper or more accessible.
The way he derided unwanted cuts as "disgusting" easily reeks elitism. And the way he tried to appeal to hippie vegan simply makes it pretentiously noveau riche-like. People eat whatever parts of animal they slaughtered - nobody just get their loins, ribs, or maybe rump - and then throw away the rest of the carcass. A lot of Europeans who eat animal offals, from Scottish haggis to Italian trippa are obviously offended by his attitude with animal parts elitism.
I think when he originally broke through he was pretty universally loved, but that quickly changed with the years.
@@nihlify Yep, it was as soon as he got flush with cash, all his shows suddenly involved him driving around in his own personal £120,000 Land Rover. As if anyone was questioning his success.
The thing with "healthy-fying" foreign dishes (without explicitly stating that it's a "diet" version of it) is that it's especially bad if it's a cuisine your audience is unfamiliar with (i.e. Brits and Tex-Mex). You might end up making them dismiss an entire type of food because of an underwhelming dish. Like imagine if the first time you ever ate pizza, it was a small flat piece of whole-wheat crust, with only tiny bits of low-fat cheese and tomatoes, with only salt and pepper for spices (no oregano or basil). Would it be edible or even decent? Sure. Would it be healthier than a normal pizza? You bet. Would you be forgiven for thinking the world is really overhyping it? Absolutely.
We are pretty familiar with tex-mex, jamie is just an idiot. He can only mediocrely cook british and italian food
I’m a home cooker, British male. If I want to cook something I haven’t cooked before, or outside my narrow range, then I pick up one of the books I have bought through the years and read about it. What I would not do is buy a Jamie O book. Brits can cook as well as anyone else, we like spice, please don’t judge us by Jamie!
There's really no substitute for general familiarity with the cuisine and help from practitioners for things that are really far from your "home" wheelhouse. At least that's my experience as a home cook. I can generally speaking make pretty competent creole, something in between tex-mex and mexican, and italian because I know what it's supposed to taste like and can play with things until it tastes like that. I'm pretty lost outside of that barring a really good recipe starting point given to me. Like I've made some delicious east Asian stuff because they gave me a sauce recipe that's already perfect with no fiddling, but that kind of thing is really hard to find in 2024 and I am still not familiar enough with the cuisine to free style at all.
Why is he so super wealthy?? The British must like his bland food, they buy his books and watch his shows. He is the wealthiest chef in the world.
Mex/American who lives in Texas checking in. This episode was cathartic. Love when somebody can differentiate the two. 100% the common telltale signs of TexMex is the use of copious amounts of cheddar cheese (shredded or melted), sour cream (thicker one), Comino (cumin), heavy black pepper, chipotle or chili powder, and the use of iceberg lettuce/roma tomato in just about anything. Need that crunch, and you need a meatier tomato so it's not super watery.
I prefer authentic mexican food, but sometimes Tex Mex hits the spot. Crunchy tacos and chimichangas hit pretty hard. Then again, fried food is just addictive in general lol.
He just needs to say stuff like "this isn't tex mex, but it has a little bit of influence and is a delicious dish that's easy to make"
We wouldn't rip on him so much
Pride is a hell of a drug
"it's tex-mex because i have a TeX-Mex for Dummies 101 cookbook on my shelf in the kitchen. close enough", eh?
Honestly if he called it a mediterranian taco then I wouldn't even care because it has some of those elements
I had Tex-Mex yesterday, and they didn't Jamie it. Yeah, "to Jamie : to put random shit in a dish and call it authentic." New verb. Awesome video!
So raaaaandom!
@@benf6822: Actually, it's sequential. 😎
I agree. The problem here is the nomenclature. If Jamie called this "Jamie's delicious chicken dish" I would have no problem. But if you're going to invoke tex-mex and capitalize on the caché of that term, you need to operate within the parameters. Here in New Mexico, here's what we would have done. Made Carne Adovada (braised chicken with garlic, cumin, limes, oregano. Added red chili sauce for liquidity and green chili sauce for flavor and texture. If you're serving to non-natives add crema agria, cheese, and flour tortillas. Otherwise, keep it healthy
Okay Brian, now you have to show us how to make an amazing Tex-Mex meal.
I'd say he's due a demo video. 😂Seeing him make Tex-Mex with one of his chef buddies would be cool.
Please😳
I think what's so strange about Jamie is that his recipes are ambiguous enough to be almost interchangeable. It seems to me his "Tex-Mex" and his "Asian" are both just vaguely good-tasting variations of the same recipe, with random regional ingredients thrown in as an afterthought.
Explains how he can call a fried rice dish "kinda random".
Ancho Chile powder, oregano, cumin, paprika, and chopped garlic mixed with olive oil. Place underneath skin of chin and bake it with the onions and romas if you want. Remove the skin and shred the chicken then blend the garlic, onion, and romas to create a paste, add in a broth to make it more of a liquid state.
Heat the chicken in a skillet briefly with the sauce to mix together. Heat tortilla and place chicken then add fresh lime squeezed, cheese, and cilantro.
If he wanted a healthy crema, just blend Greek yogurt with mashed avacado and use that. Done.
Sounds amazing! 🤤
olive oil is not mexican or texan (and neither asian. shout out to uncle roger). using olive oil is a huge mistake.
Works very well though to blend and use as a rub, better than using vegetable oil.
If you make extra rub, take that, coat the corn with it, wrap the corn individually in foil and toss it into the oven with the chicken (assuming it's the same 400F we see in Jamie's video) for about 25-30 minutes. Butter would be better than the olive oil, but that isn't "healthy" or whatever.
@@jacoballey21how about change the olive oil with bacon fat?
As some one born in Texas, and growing up eating Tex-Mex even as baby food, even just his ingredient list hurts me down in to my soul.
It’s gonna be ok… Jamie can’t hurt you anymore 😂
You hear your ancestors crying as well. 🙏
As a Texan.. It's amazing how capable Jamie is able to insult am entire state..
@@twoblink Given what he's done to several Asian countries' cuisines, a state is a small feat for him.
@@PaceBreaker As an Asian.. He's insulted BILLIONS with just fried rice alone.. He woke up that day and chose violence against 40% of the world..
I assume Kay's cooking is learned from him.
I love it when you have the huevos to attack Jamie Olive Oil directly rather than letting Uncle Roger lead the charge
Man, I don't care where I am, how old I am, or how rich I am, I will always devour the shit out of a cheap ass Ortega or El Paso taco kit with some store bought white tortillas and half of the worlds supply of cheese.
This dudes dish feels like a completely different planet compared to what most Americans called Tex Mex growing up.
I'll almost always prefer a fully homeade Tex mex meal, but my God, the 10 minutes it takes to just brown some ground beef and use a taco kit from the store is probably the greatest poor man's meal of all time.
Agreed, but give me the hard yellow corn shell instead. We would make that in college and I'd knock back like 12 of those.
Those taco kits are amazing, they remind me of when I was a kid and my mom made them.
Hamburger helper and taco kits made up a good portion of my childhood.
Taco kits, or to my mom, the "I have two growing boys who could eat every morsel of food in the house and complain about being hungry afterward SURVIVAL FOOD!"
I ate soooooo many kit tacos growing up!
@@SimuLord Me and my brother were "husky" as they say so I think that was part of the kit lifestyle. Tina burritos and Mr. P's pizzas were also part of it. If you remember those you knew the struggle.
I'm only two minutes in but need to interject. Sour cream has a quarter of the calories of Greek yogurt. His health food argument has always been dubious but it completely implodes here.
The only thing healthier about Greek yogurt is it has more protein. But it’s also way more calories and fat. And you’re getting enough protein from the chicken already
@@condor237
Exactly. Greek yogurt has it's uses if you're watching your macros or cooking Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food but Tex-Mex and Mexican food have their own unique applications for dairy that don't need Olive Oil's reinterpretation.
The thing is, I don't think he's on a crusade for healthy eating at all. He wants us to make meals HIS way. Why make use of this disgusting thing called Crema when you can get Greek Yoghurt for the prestige?
I've always been turned off by the whole healthy eating crusade because the main reason why he makes the whole show and tell song and dance number about the horrors of making chicken nuggets is usually because the kids refused to eat HIS take on the food.
Sour cream has 3x as many calories in 1 tbsp, what kind of nasty fat free sour cream are you eating? lol
Sour cream’s calories measured by tablespoon, whereas Greek yogurt’s calories are measured per cup, you absolute buffoon
You can't mess up Tex-Mex, it combines two of the best cuisines I have seen. Sure I've never had Texan BBQ or Mexican Barbacoa, but I equate it to Indian-Bengali cuisine, there are some overlapping dishes and ingredients, but they are different and there have been like Indian dishes that have been Bengalisized for our tastes.
Jamie literally killed anything Tex-Mex. Man just thought it sounds good and ran with it.
Great review Brian! I will have to review this later! ;) Hope all is well!
Likewise bud! ❤️
I Teach Food Tech (Cooking) at High School level in the UK and I tell my students that Jamie's 'authentic' is most definately not and they are much better off finding videos of Chefs from whatever nationality of cusine and learn from them; even if you have to do it with subtitles.
Jamie is not that popular over here anymore and neither is Nigella Lawson. From working with British Teenagers I can tell you their palettes are way more refined that people think and they want authentic cusine now, not crappy rip-offs.
Love the videos btw 👍😎
Thanks for tuning in and educating the next generation properly lol
The only british chef I really trust with making authentic dishes is Ainsley. His bbq bible series is a fantastic watch too!
Gordon Ramsay? Heston Blumenthal? Rick Stein? Marcus Wareing? Michel Roux Jnr? Asma Khan? The Hairy Bikers? Madhur Jaffrey? Ching He Huang? Tom Kerridge? Robert Irvine? Nadiya Hussein? Thomasina Miers? Yotam Ottalenghi? Atul Kochhar? no? none of these? (i could list many many more but here's a start) now when we say British chefs? are we talking about people born in the uk? or that are famous chefs that became famous in the UK? with your implied Ainsley Harriott who is from Jamaica? I would suspect its chefs that are famous in and around the UK and famous because they are chefs in the UK etc, then yeah? all of those do authentic dishes :) if you haven't heard of them then maybe you should search them up, because they are fantastic chefs from the UK :)
Right from the preview clip, I'm immediately reminded of The Great British Bake Off doing tacos. In an age of easily accessible information, someone can just search for a Tex-Mex recipe or video to get an idea or even substitution options.
Plenty of options out there and the only reason I could see anyone checking out Jamie Oliver's video is because he's a celebrity chef and the idea that that means he knows his stuff.
Uk here. Tex-Mex is pretty popular over here, and all the required flavours, spices and ingredients are all readily available, even if you take the easy route and grab an Old El Paso fajita kit.
Jamie Oliver just sucks
swap paprika for cumin & oregano, take out the tomatoes and onion, dice them up, add lime juice and cilantro, swap the greek yogurt for sour cream and you can call it tex-mex. like Tex-Mex is pretty simple, too.
It's telling that he just calls this dish "Tex-Mex." What dish is he making? "Tex-Mex." It isn't anything specific you could get at any kind of restaurant or food truck; it's "ambiguous cuisine."
You could also use ground coriander and chili powder. Also my preference for tortillas for a while has been corn tortillas. I’m also not a huge fan of Sour Cream (at least not plain) but you flavor it and make more of a sauce, and I’d enjoy it more! It’s not that unhealthy. Also if you’re like me and calcium deficient, it’s a good way to get calcium in the meal. As for no cheese, meh. Tacos are already healthy. You can find some kind of cheese to add to it in small quantities. Cheese is good for you! The biggest gripe as you mentioned is just calling it Tex Mex when it’s really not! lol 😂
Chef Brian - this is officially my favorite RUclips channel. Period. Also having Chef Paul on is simply icing on the cake!
We don't need unlce Roger to roast Jamie man you do it just as good 👌🏻😂
❤️
Being Tex-Mex myself; I’m horrified. I *could* forgive the yogurt if he mentioned what crema is and that the yogurt would be a substitute if you have a hard time finding the real McCoy (which is plausible over the pond). However, sour cream is a better substitute.
We use a lot of rojo seasoning when we make texmex it’s good for marinating chicken too
It would be fun to watch you review some of the Kenji Lopez-Alt videos. He's one of the popularisers of more scientific approach to cooking, his videos are no-nonsense and his style of cooking will lend to interesting reviews cause he explains the choices he makes
Being a Mexican from Texas I genuinely winced when I saw the title Jamie is NOT invited to the cookout 😂
He's not even allowed in the same STATE as the cookout
Tex Mex to me is avocado corn pepper chili cheese and Steak lime
Completely agree with you Chef Brian. The dish looks good - Jamie can cook, I think we all know that. Cook like an elite chef? Well...
Regardless, whether it's his writers, his recipes or just his presentation, it makes me think that that he does not know - or care - that what he gives us isn't representative of whatever style of dish he's trying to emulate.
Cheers from the Caribbean, thank you for all the great and informative content!
Thank YOU for tuning in’
@@ChefBrianTsao always! I’m learning a lot.
Good morning Brian... I saw tacos and got excited.
As a Canadian I feel like if he tried making poutine he'd end up using maple syrup from Vermont somehow, yknow what I mean?
😂😂😂
All of my Canadian family would probably cry
I'd like to see you do a longer show where you review someone's food jamie oliver or cooking with Jack for example then remake that dish appropriately
Love your personality Brian, love your channel.
Recently finally used some crema in a few meals. Pourable, yes, but also has a more buttery taste. Dying to try it on some baked potatoes in the near future.
My grandmother used to make huge stacks of tortillas. She rolled them out with a rolling pin and cooked them on a cast iron griddle plate She put on the stove top. She flipped them with her finger nails. The only flavor needed was salt in the dough and the char from the cast iron. I have never had tortillas that tasted like that from elsewhere. There have been no pre-made and certainly not any whole wheat tortillas.
Jamie's audience is British home cooks who will probably never know any different or any better than what he is presenting. That British baking show that did their Mexican week was horrifying and while it showed some younger people were more familiar. The older participants were completely lost. I think some of the host people were even pronouncing things wrong or giving wrong information even though they were supposed to be knowing and worldly.
Plus you have complications because it seems like Spain is Mexico for British people. So there is quite a difference between what the Spanish definition of tortilla is and what it is in Mexico. The same goes for horchata and who knows what else. Most people just accept what they are given and will never look into the information they are fed to determine its accuracy or validity. If you will never verify your information then anyone is free to tell you anything they want without concern for precision, accuracy, or reality.
Dang, now I want some horchata. I live across the street from a place that sells it, but it's also just shy of 5AM right now, so... Yeah.
You're making me wonder if the UK kind of mixes up all Latin food with Spain. Like, my neighborhood is great, there's a Guatemalan place down the street, a Mexican place a bit farther, a tex-mex place across the street, an Ecuadoran place a couple blocks away, and a Guatemalan fried chicken place across the street from my house (the one that's super-convenient for horchata). Do people in the UK think I just said there's a whole bunch of similar restaurants in my neighborhood, and it's all basically what Jaime made? Or so they realize that at least some of that is different?
@@tildessmoo do they have employees or owners from those countries? My partner was previously married to someone from the Netherlands and they would go to visit. She told me that they would get "Chinese" food that was actually Indonesian because of Dutch colonialism but they call it Chinese food apparently. Sometimes you get white people obsessed with a certain non-white cuisine which can be good or bad, or a huge toxic problem. When they care enough to really learn, understand, and respect the food and culture then it is good. When it just amounts to orientalism or otherwise trivializing a culture as a novelty, then it is toxic and bad. Sometimes it is like "discovering" acai and quinoa where white people go in and commoditize a staple food of indigenous people which makes it no longer an affordable staple food. Sort of like how in ireland and india there were famines but britain was still exporting commodities. It makes me wonder how those African famines actually work.
@@Endquire The fried chicken place is a chain that advertises itself as Guatemalan, but all the other places are small places that are probably only run by the owners' families plus one or two additional employees. I'm not 100% certain that they're all run by people of the ethnicity the restaurants claim to be, but considering this is the US where the only one likely to be familiar to a broad customer base is Mexican, and I live on the edge of a neighborhood mostly inhabited by Guatemalan and Ecuadoran immigrants, and I don't speak Spanish so I can't really ask them (there's enough people here who speak some English for us to do basic business, but it seems impolite to ask about their ethnicity when we can barely hold a conversation)...
All that together, I'm inclined to believe each place is run by people of the ethnicity they claim. There may be locations of the chicken place that have mostly Mexican employees or something, but I think the owners are Guatemalan, and in this neighborhood the employees probably are as well. So, yeah, pretty sure there's no cultural appropriation or cultural erasure in this case.
@@tildessmoo as I understand it, if you see people of that culture eating in a place it is probably good. So if you have a local community that supports a place I would expect it's trustworthy. A chain is the same deal because when I saw Jollibee, it was full of happy Asian families on a Friday evening. I can't recall ever seeing that in another fast food place. Maybe Culver's.
Where was the guacamole? You can't have Tex-Mex without the guacamole; it's the best part.
Wow amazing timing on that sponsorship, I just got a new prescription on Friday.
🤘😁
Good video thanks Brian 👍.
Its closer to a chicken Gyro. Put some dill and cucumbers into the yogurt and skip the corn. It's as authentic Greek as it is authentic tex mex.
Can you imagine if some Greek food gets Jamied?
@@argonwheatbelly637 lol
If someone asked me to define the essential traits of Tex-Mex dishes as briefly as possible, I'd say that it's heavy use of open-flame, combination of Mexican tastes and American resources/methods (soft white flour tortilla, greater emphasis on beef, virtually no offal or organ meat), larger amounts of cheese (mainly colby jack, cotija, and queso asadero) and the delicious peppers of the American Southwest & Mexico. It is completely astounding that Jamie managed to both not use all these, but to not use ANY.
If anything, Jamie Oliver is an incredibly diverse man. Whether it's India, Mexico, America, or Asia, he WILL find a way to screw up your traditional food.
I'd like to see your take on it, and I get adapting some things based upon availability but the Greek yoghurt did baffle me.
I live in a rural area in Scotland but I can get chipotle fairly easily! Cumin, fresh coriander and lime? Available in my local supermarket!
I wish Jamie would just say "tex-mex inspired". Like you said, I have no doubt this would taste great.
I'm American/Mex/bori🇵🇷 and I agree with all your spice choices! Also, he uses lime and cilantro for every "Asian" dish he makes but can't even use it for tex mex 🤦🏽♀️😂
Omg such a good point! lol
id be interested in seeing a reaction plus recreating, tasty his version of recipes and giving a final thought!
I’ve been cooking my corn cob in the oven while still in its husk for years and it’s the best tasting corn I’ve ever had, no salt or butter needed, but nice extra. I can’t imagine cooking them any different.
43 secs, nice to be this early
🤘
The worst thing about Jamie Oliver is all the weird changes and "twists" he likes to do are next to never involving things the average person in the UK has hanging about. Youd have to go out the way to buy the stuff to make his weird wacky versions of classics
It's why it's annoying that people just watch one bad British chef all the time and are like "ugh, UK can't cook, no spice," like no guys we hate the guy even more than you do. And if you think you hate him more than we do, you're wrong, cuz you don't have to LIVE with the insufferable bastard.
I've never been this early OMG 😊 I love your videos
🙏
bro bro bro i just fuckin love your videos maan like now a days thats what i always watch any time i open youtube
Thank YOU!
Look up his huevos ranchero dish. It's straight nonsense.
THERE’S MORE?!
@@ChefBrianTsao ruclips.net/video/ksx5OYEHGeY/видео.html
Me as a home chef no one takes that seriously but Mexican and Asian cuisine is my fave and even I'm offended. You keep such composure and helpful tips. Really appreciate what you do. Much love
You can get Chipotle in the uk but most people aren't going to use it enough to warrant buying it.
In the words of Uncle Roger "where the CUMIN...Where CUMIN" 😂😂..Well that's Jamie Oliver for ya always of track 😂😂. Good video bro. Cheers!
8:01 Hey Brian, how's it going? Excellent job, Thanks for the upload! I hope, I don't sound annoying, So, picture this: I'm getting really hungry while watching your video, getting all set to cook some homemade "Mexican Fried Rice". And then, I heard what you mentioned about tortillas. I had to hit pause, couldn't help but react with "ooh hell nooo!"
Now, as a Mexican, I feel obligated to point out that there is only thing that beats a "white tortilla" (Asume you mean Flour Tortillas) and that is a Corn Tortillas, Corn Tortillas are the real Mexican deal,
But I totally get that in the context of Tex-Mex food, is the way to go (In Texas and most of the USA, Flour Totilla is what most of the NON Mexican people only know though)
Don't get me wrong, Flour tortillas are really good too, But In our Mexican opinion, they're just a close second to Corn Tortillas.
Keep up the great content! Looking forward for more videos, hope everybody have a great day!!
"Who's family? Your family?"😂
Hey man, random suggestion: Ever think about doing something like a tier list or a tournament of worst/best dishes from chefs... or "chefs"... on RUclips? Just throwing it out there because I think the switch up would be good for the algorithm and might land you on recommended spots you don't normally reach. I dig your content and it'd be awesome to see you blow up more (I also advised other content creators professionally in the past but this is my alt so I stay low key lol). Take it or leave it if you want, but it's easy content to make entertaining and it's not too far of a departure from what you already do. There aren't enough people on RUclips with distinct personalities which is why I dig your content. Keep on pushing!
I'm in the U.K and you can get chipotle powder anywhere!
I’m from San Diego, raised in Arizona, have lived in Texas… there is no part of the American southwest in which this guy’s food is not crap.
The only Mexican food I made is guacamole, and elotes from corn kernels in can, and I made a blunder with the guacamole by underestimating the potency of red onion. Next time, I'll either wash off the strong onion flavor, or use white onion, which is milder.
I usually mix tomato and red onion with salted egg. Using avocado instead of salted egg makes it guacamole. I just realized the chunky guacamole is the American style.
Depends, some locations in the US do smooth guac. I prefer chunky, avocado (mashed a little), tomato, onion, a little jalapeno (optional), a little lime juice to keep it from turning brown…
The oven chicken no doubt will be fantastic, as the wrap he created will be...
But nothing TexMex about it... and I'm Dutch.. only TexMex seasoning I've known is from a satchel... And if I can't get a crema (which is 99% of the times), I'd go for creme fraiche over Greek yogurt any day
Jamie makes SE Asian egg fried chicken rice. Alternatives substitute olive oil as cooking oil. Use a deep saucepan instead of wok or fry pan.
Switch chicken for whale meat. Swap eggs with caviar. Change rice to pasta. Drop sesame oil for corn oil. Change both soy sauce for marinara and bolognese. Remove all Asian spices for any spice/herb he can find on another continent, say rosemary, sage, basil and 50 others I've never heard of.
Remove the mirin and use champagne instead. Now when done transfer to a baking tray and cook at 250° c in the oven for 2 hours.
Must not forget use sweetcorn, mashed potatoes and catus purée as mirepoix.
Hi chef Tsao,
please remember he is a Britt. He is always using Olive Oil for everything like fried rice with egg. The last thing i want to see with Lamie Olive Oil is Northern Germany kitchen like Matjes or "Mettbrötchen". We never will use Olive oil for nothern german kitchen.
oh and don't forget Chilly Jam in fried rice with egg.
🤔 It's been a long time since I've had Tex-Mex. What you get around Texas is very different from other areas of the country. Totally agree about the spices and limes....maybe cayenne and NM chilies but he may not have access to them. Roast the corn but should be in pieces with beans together with the chicken. Some cheese but usually it's Monterey Jack (maybe a tiny bit of cheddar on top). Sour cream and pico de gallo. Usually the tortillas are corn. It's been so long since I've had Tex-Mex but back in the day usually it was rustic thicker hand done corn or blue corn tortillas.
Cumin and cilantro are the best part of Tex-Mex/Mexican food and they were nowhere to be seen. I remember cooking at home before I knew you could find recipes online and "discovering" that cumin was the flavor I was missing all along. Wow, the difference one spice can make!
Cumin is absolutely amazing
@@ChefBrianTsao absolutely! I forgot to say how much I love pico de gallo/salsa, too. Homemade is so much better but store bought will do in a pinch. With pico, lots of stores will add cucumber to it (as a filler?) and it just throws the whole thing off to me, so I like to put on some music or a video and just dice until my fingers are sore and I have a huge batch lol. I can eat that with a spoon fr
Beautiful organized chaos(khoas),..hmm great band name, or clan in some game
I’m
From the U.K. but it’s like refried beans a big thing in Tex mex especially in the tortillas. How shoot more spices
my favorite brian tsaoism is when you say "theres no doubt that thats going to be delicious" because I know the followup is you wanting to say "but what the fuck"
Lol
Hi Brian, thanks for the love! Greetings from Guadalajara, Mexico (:
🤘😁
We have both cumin AND taco seasoning AND tex mex seasoning (kind of - it's fajita seasoning) in the UK...
Imo I love flour tortillas but there is something endearing when using corn tortillas that you fry up yourself. ❤
I love how chill the video is and then the outro song just comes out of nowhere and goes hate af. I'm guessing that's your band? What's it called?
Yep! We’re called Loss Becomes
*hard af
Oops
@@ChefBrianTsao thanks! I'll definitely have to check yall out!
To be fair for a good Mexican/ TexMex style chicken, it's so easy, take a plastic ziplock or something that can be covered or sealed, put in your chicken, take some Orange Juice, preferably a real juice one like Simply, fill it until it's almost halfway covering the chicken, rough chop some Green onion, Jalapeno and/or Serrano and Cilantro and throw in. Add plenty of salt, pepper, and garlic to start, add some chili powder, a little paprika, I use Cumin but it isn't really a traditional Mexican spice, more Tex Mex, or I"ll also use this really good all purpose Mexican seasoning that has most of that stuff in it, plus some extras. Then make sure everything is saturated in the marinade and let it sit for at least three hours, pull it out and grill it up, I suppose you could pan fry it or use the oven, but I gotta have that crust and smoke flavor you can only get on a grill, but not everyone has that option, but if you do, grill it always. It's the closest I've gotten to something like an El Pollo Loco chicken marinade and I think it stacks up quite nice.
To quote a well loved uncle, "Haiyaaa...."
Last year when I was in Portugal
We saw Jamie on the tv and I couldn’t stop laughing
Best way to cook corn is to roast it in the husk in a very hot oven for 45 minutes. I'm also a big fan of died chiles, if your store has them. And if your store doesn't have all the separate seasonings, see if they have Goya Saizon in the "Mexican " section. (And yes I know that people have issues with Goya, but that's the only brand my store carries)
It's sad that Mexican cuisine never ventured outside of Americas. You can buy ingredients for Italian or Indian cuisine anywhere in the world but not so for Mexican.
You can get Chipotle paste no problem in the UK.
Everyone I know with a primarily texmex diet just uses Sazon for everything. That's just Cumin and MSG. And maybe also garlic. I don't remember and I'm not in my kitchen rn.
Cumin, chili powder, garlic, lime for chicken. Tomato, jalapeno, chedder cheese, cilantro, queso fresco. I admit, I've subbed greek yogurt when I didn't have queso fresco at home, but never for a presentation uploaded to the internet.
Now I'm curious as to your top 5 cuisines with Tex-Mex being in your top 3...curious also what your top 5 Tex-Mex dishes are
Chef Brian when will ever see the Bobby Flay reaction video?
Well done, i fully agree on your conclusion.
It could be a family favorite for a family who's never heard of or tasted Mexican food or Tex mex😆
10:39 could have sliced the roasted corn off the cob and mixed it into a salsa or pico
He could just say "delicious tortilla wrap dinner fast and easy!"
And no one would bat an eye!
At this point I’m convinced that Jamie’s research consists of looking at a photo of a certain kind of cuisine and then trying to recreate it just based on what he can identify and making up the rest lol
Video idea:
Between Olive Oil here and the British cooking shows in general, American and Asian chefs should start making British dishes by substituting things like they do.
For fish and chips you start by using baked chicken instead fried fish and onion rings instead of fries/chips- or maybe even actual bagged potato chips/crisps.
For bangers and mash you start with shredded beef instead of sausage and for the mash, you use grits. And serve with some celery or carrots instead of peas.
Toad in the hole you take chicken instead of sausage and Jello pudding batter instead of Yorkshire pudding batter.
Steak and kidney pie, you get some chicken gizzards instead of kidneys, chicken instead of beef and potatoes instead of onions.
I love authentic Mexican food. Cow head tacos are my favorite!
I'd be interested to see you react to some of John Scalzi's burritos. They can be very strange, but he's never tried to pass them off as authentic, and he never indulges in verbal diarrhea.
Hello chef brian, maybe you ment bothing beats a flour tortilla with tex mex, in mexico corn tortillas are the go to, its not that comman to use flour tortillas. Big fan chef, i learn alot from you
❤️
