00:02Buenos dias, hola USA, I'm Aron Sanchez. I'm at home right now with my loved ones. I hope you're
00:08being safe. The tacos dorados, one of my favorite recipes. It starts very simply with the fillings,
00:15right? And in this case I've taken some beautiful pork chorizo, we have it right there, cooked it
00:19out, cooled it down, and added some ranchero queso fresco, which I have here, and I just
00:25crumbled that in, and that in essence is the filling, okay? Over here I have some mashed potatoes,
00:30you can use leftover mashed potatoes, you can make them fresh, cool them down, add some ranchero
00:35queso fresco in this mixture, mix it up, and these are my two fillings, okay? Now, here I have some
00:42tortillas that I've just kind of softened up or toasted on the comal or on the griddle, and then
00:49I'm going to simply take some of this beautiful chorizo filling and then kind of just fold them
00:53over nice and simple, guys. Add a little bit of pressure, same thing with the mashed potato,
00:58okay? If you want to add a little bit of crema mexicana in there to kind of soften them up
01:04a little
01:04bit, you can do that as well. I'm going to fold them over these beautiful little tacos right here,
01:09and I'm going to add them to some hot oil. This is a fun dish, kids love it. I have
01:14some crema mexicana
01:15right here. You can simply put your favorite hot sauce, add a little bit of salt, and then just mix
01:20that up, okay? I'm going to split my tacos. Okay, so while those are finishing up cooking, I'm just
01:27going to shred some beautiful lettuce. I have some cabbage. You can use white cabbage, you can use
01:32Napa cabbage. In this case, I have red cabbage, and these are going to add some beautiful texture
01:38crunch and freshness. Now that I have that, I'm going to remove my tacos dorados. Oh, they look great.
01:45Right when they come out, guys, hit them with a little bit of salt, and then we're going to start
01:49to plate
01:50up, all right? I have a beautiful plate. I'll put my chorizo tacos dorados on one side, my mashed potatoes
01:57on one
01:58side over there. I'll take some lettuce right on top. For this one, I'll take some beautiful shaved cabbage. Oh,
02:05yeah.
02:06Take some beautiful crema mexicana and just drizzle right on top. Look how gorgeous that is, guys. Ranchero
02:13queso fresco. Look at that. Be generous with it. It's that perfect complement. Beautiful cilantro, right?
02:20Some freshness, some color. You want to put some radish on there, too? Why not? Let's do that.
02:30Maybe some radish right there. Oh, yeah. Now we are cooking with gas. I don't know about you, but that
02:36right there looks like an invitation to eat and to have a great time. Bien provecho. Les quiero mucho. Cuídense.
