I can't wait to make this. I've lived in Denver for 37 years and just recently started craving Chicos. My son was in El Paso this week and brought me back four double orders. They were good, but nothing like fresh made. I'm glad I found your video, I was going to attempt to recreate the recipe. Your kids are adorable and you are beautiful! Blessings!
My name is Rene Solis from SANELI TX...😋...Chico's was one of my ONLY daughter's favorites...She passed away recently @37 he's old..😥...I am learning ur recipe in HER HONOR...!!!...They turned out ok...I have to practice more...I'm gonna surprise FAMILIA y AMIGOS...!!!...GRACIAS...!!...UR GREAT...😍
I love when you said "it's sopita juice". I tell my daughter that as well when I make chicos tacos. I use a big can of whole tomatoes and some Roma tomatoes and the sauce stays a little thicker and tastes similar to the real one. Thanks for your recipe
My husband doesn’t even like taquitos but LOVED this recipe. I lived in El Paso about 13 years ago and it was my FAVORITE! You nailed this one! Totally brings me back ❤️ And your green salsa is to die for! Best salsa verde I’ve ever had 👌
I was stationed at Fort Bliss in the 80s until 92. I loved Chico's Tacos. This got me really excited. Gotta make some. I'm in Ohio close to Cincinnati now. Great video thank you for sharing
Yes I made these during the pandemic..since we were on lockdown and couldn’t go anywhere but work, I decided to make them and now my son makes them too 😄
I haven't been back to El Paso in years and this food is one of the things I miss. Thank you for the recipe. As a kid, I remember going to Ascarate park in the morning and then heading to Chicos for lunch.
There's actually a place in L.V. that's sells EP/Juarez based food. Owner from the Northeast. You wont be disappointed! Juarez Border Food on Eastern St.
Oh my goodness! You and your family are so precious! ❤ thank you for posting this. I’m from EP but living in Odessa and I’m craving Chico’s badly… I will definitely be trying this recipe
You I’m so stoked for this thank you I’m from NM and I try and go to Chico’s every time I go visit family and now I can make em at home I’m sharing the hell outta this!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg, I am totally gonna try this recipe! I miss El Paso, mainly for the food and ESPECIALLY Chico's Tacos! I wish they'd bring back the original cheese though. I've always said if I'm ever on death row and I get to pick my last meal, it's gonna be Chico's!
Never heard of these but they look good. I was surprised that you diluted the red as much as you did. If I try this recipe I will do as you demonstrated. Thank you.
Im literally sitting here eating the same exact flautas!! And I thought man these would be fire dressed up like Chicos so I looked up recipes, clicked on yours first and guess what you show me exactly what Im eating and thinking too! 😂😂
We, our family now live in Idaho and yes we are homesick for Real Chico's Tacos. Sadly they change the recipe and they didn't taste the same last time we ate there. We make our own but not the same as the original taste of the 80's. People told me it was the cheese but I don't think so. We will keep on trying making our own. Thanks for taking your time and money to in making this video. Bert
Thank you for the recipe! I made it and they were delicious! All I have to say is that I used 4 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of water , and also the chicken bouillon and to me it tasted a lot like the chicken flavor but I asked my family and they said it was perfect , that it was probably just me because I’m the one who made it. They all said it was perfect ☺️ thank you! The salsa was delicious too!
My husband is from El Paso and he misses his family there and Chico’s Tacos. We live in Austin so it is a bit of a drive to get there. I will make this for him to see if it helps his craving for Chico’s. Thanks for the recipe!
I'm from El Paso I followed your recipe to make chicos tacos along with your green salsa the chicos came out DELICIOUS 😋 Your green salsa is very delicious !!!
Your daughters face at the end is everyone when you tell them to try Chico’s tacos for the first time 😂 ❤️ loveeeee this Thank you so much! I’m making this for dinner!
Awww, my aunt showed me a way a while ago with chicken “Chico tacos” kind of similar but I think the extra tomatoes that you used is what was different. I wanna try this way next time and see the difference lol. Good job Nicole! 💖☺️
Made both the Chico’s and green salsa and lemme tell ya it was delicious!! Almost better than the real thing. I’m always making the green salsa the wife loves it.
Aww. I love this video! Thanks for sharing. I'm going to attempt to make some Chico's Tacos. If all else fails I'll drive over there and get my fix. Lol. Btw, you're awesome and your kiddos are adorable!
Just made these subbed the water for chicken broth. I would say this is actually better than the real thing. I havent had it in years but this sauce is more flavorful. Great job so happy I found authentic El Paso food recipes. For Xmas I am trying your green enchiladas!
This is the best recipe! I was so excited to try Chicos tacos when I visited my husband’s family in El Paso but.. I was truly disappointed of the taste (it was just salty and no rich flavor not like all people from El Paso give thumbs up even my husband said the taste was not like it used to be) I tried your recipe and boom 💥 I got chills! It was just so good and even I was on a diet but I couldn’t stop trying a little by little and ruined my diet! My husband said this recipe came out really legit as old Chicos tacos taste and loved it so much Thank you for the recipe!!!!
In the 8's I grew up eating this when I attended Bel Air, we would get to the Yarbrough locations every Friday night and just eat and hang. Thank you for this.
Going to make it this Friday , thank you for sharing. Missing my home , El Paso 🥺 I now live in Louisiana , but El Paso will always be where my heart is .. thank you
OG Creeper Malo v.OGP13 if I’m being honest I’d say maybe an 8! Lol I still need to perfect it but it’s definitely close & so good for someone who doesn’t live in El Paso & is craving some chicos!!! Thank you for watching!!
Stella Brown aww man not everyone likes it so it’s okay if it’s not something you like!! But thank you so much for watching & i hope you do like it when you try it out again!🙌🏼
I'm a first timer to your channel. I know nothing about Chico's...have been to El Paso once long ago. Anyway loved your video. You don't look angry, you are a beautiful woman with the cutest kids! God bless
As a guera from El Chuco living in Houston, first of all....this took me home!!! Second, I crave nothing here as much as I crave Chicos!!! I'm always looking for a recipe and I'm going to try yours tonight!!! I will probably be "extra" and make my taquitos. Lol! Thank you soooo much for bringing my home to me and sharing your recipe!!! ^_^
@@tobiastho9639 Pretty good! I'm still looking for a closer flavor... ;-) I think we all are! I was just in El Paso and went to the one on Dyer (my fave) and they were soooooo good!!! Gonna keep trying!
Jennifer Kilmer Great! Maybe the way is to make it more your own recipe... find the variations you like. Also great things can come from that route... ; )
Correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t we just add the raw garlic + the onion (chopped) in with the whole tomatoes at the beginning to save time? By the way I’m halfway right now and the green salsa is addictive 👍
Yarely Vega the next time i make them I’m definitely gonna try using different ones! The ones I usually buy are from walmart but they didn’t have them where i was shopping:( so yes maybe try using your favorite! Or making them from scratch:)
Great recipe...Me n my sisters n sobrinas tried it...Excellent...Rene from San Eli...!!...We luv ur recipe..!!...don't worry about the lonja...🤣.actually....I was more concentrated on your "other" super GORGEOUS attributes..😍...Thx girl from SanEli TX USA, Planet Earth..79849..!!...💓💞

As a quick recipe use a can of el pato yellow can and add same amount of water to dilute. Not exact but much quicker.
