00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:36,536
Mexico is known
for its street food.
3
00:00:36,603 --> 00:00:39,606
Everywhere in Mexico City,
there are stands with food,
4
00:00:39,672 --> 00:00:43,143
selling tacos, enchiladas, but
my personal favourite
5
00:00:43,209 --> 00:00:45,378
are the ones that sell corn.
6
00:00:45,445 --> 00:00:46,980
Now, this dish is called
esquites
7
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:50,984
and it is delicious, and you
cook it with onions, garlic,
8
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:53,353
there's aromatics, there's
(Unclear) into it.
9
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:56,723
And then you serve that in a cup
with a little bit
10
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:59,059
of cotija cheese and mayonnaise
or aioli.
11
00:00:59,125 --> 00:01:02,162
Man, oh, man, what an experience
this is.
12
00:01:02,228 --> 00:01:04,130
And I want to show you
something lovely.
13
00:01:04,197 --> 00:01:06,032
Look at this. Lovely silk, eh?
14
00:01:06,099 --> 00:01:10,336
This, in Mexico, we use it to
make tea. It is delicious,
15
00:01:10,403 --> 00:01:14,107
very nutritious. A bit of honey
or sugar into this.
16
00:01:14,174 --> 00:01:15,875
Now, for our esquites,
17
00:01:15,942 --> 00:01:17,410
serrano pepper.
18
00:01:17,477 --> 00:01:19,946
It is spicy, you've got to be
very careful,
19
00:01:20,013 --> 00:01:22,949
but it goes delicious with the
sweetness of the corn.
20
00:01:23,016 --> 00:01:24,884
It's a pair made in heaven.
21
00:01:24,951 --> 00:01:28,855
In Mexico, we love our heat.
22
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:31,891
And serrano peppers are probably
my second favourite chili.
23
00:01:31,958 --> 00:01:33,893
My favourite chili's morita.
24
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:37,697
It's a chili grown in Oaxaca,
and it's spicy and it's smokey.

♪
28
00:02:00,453 --> 00:02:02,755
To start my esquites, I'm going
to start sautéing the onions.
29
00:02:05,391 --> 00:02:08,895
We want a high heat pan because
we want to caramelize the corn
30
00:02:08,962 --> 00:02:10,964
and get all the sweetness out of
it.
31
00:02:11,030 --> 00:02:12,966
(Sizzling)
32
00:02:13,032 --> 00:02:14,467
Now, don't forget serrano
peppers for this.
33
00:02:14,534 --> 00:02:18,705
And of course, esquites can not
be esquites without
34
00:02:18,771 --> 00:02:20,140
the main ingredient, corn.
35
00:02:20,206 --> 00:02:23,910
(Sizzling)
36
00:02:25,778 --> 00:02:28,314
Oh man, that serrano's going to
be spicy.

♪
38
00:02:37,390 --> 00:02:39,392
Okay.
39
00:02:40,426 --> 00:02:42,262
The corn is nice and
caramelized.
40
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:43,630
Now we're going to start adding
my herbs.
41
00:02:43,696 --> 00:02:46,666
Now, this is bay leaves and
epazote.
42
00:02:46,733 --> 00:02:49,969
Now, epazote is ancient herb
used by the Aztecs
43
00:02:50,036 --> 00:02:52,105
and the meaning of it meant
"skunk".
44
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:55,108
What they meant is that the
epazote is very pungent,
45
00:02:55,175 --> 00:02:56,409
it's earthy,
46
00:02:56,476 --> 00:02:58,912
it's just like if you're
smelling a pine tree almost.
47
00:02:58,978 --> 00:03:00,413
It's going to be delicious.
48
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,983
I'm going to be using cilantro
and oregano for the esquites.
49
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:07,187
Now, I want you to know that the
importance of cilantro
50
00:03:07,253 --> 00:03:10,657
and oregano in Mexico are huge.
They're grown everywhere.
51
00:03:10,723 --> 00:03:13,026
I'm going to show you a little
trick here.
52
00:03:13,092 --> 00:03:15,929
I want to use the stems only,
not the leaves
53
00:03:15,995 --> 00:03:18,298
because I want just to extract
the flavour out of these
54
00:03:18,364 --> 00:03:20,133
beautiful, beautiful herbs.
55
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,602
I'm going to make a little
bundle of them, so at the end
56
00:03:22,669 --> 00:03:23,903
we can remove the stems,
57
00:03:23,970 --> 00:03:26,839
so we don't end up chewing into
something woody.
58
00:03:31,678 --> 00:03:32,946
This takes me back to Mexico.
59
00:03:33,012 --> 00:03:34,948
There's a big street called
Reforma,
60
00:03:35,014 --> 00:03:37,951
probably the most important
street in Mexico City.
61
00:03:38,017 --> 00:03:39,953
They have tonnes of these
vendors.
62
00:03:40,019 --> 00:03:40,954
When you're walking by it
smells...
63
00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:42,222
(Sniffing)
64
00:03:42,288 --> 00:03:43,223
Oh man.
65
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,291
Just ridiculously good.
66
00:03:46,826 --> 00:03:49,596
Instead of throwing out cob
away, we're going to use this
67
00:03:49,662 --> 00:03:52,899
to add more flavour. We want an
extra kick there.
68
00:03:52,966 --> 00:03:55,602
At this point, I already roasted
the corn.
69
00:03:55,668 --> 00:03:58,438
I'm going to be adding a bit of
chicken stock.
70
00:03:58,504 --> 00:04:03,309
(Sizzling)
71
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:04,477
I want to add a tiny bit of
acidity to it.
72
00:04:04,544 --> 00:04:07,880
I'm going to use our favourite
fruit, the lime.
73
00:04:12,185 --> 00:04:14,254
As the steam is bubbling up you
can smell the lime
74
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,722
coming through.
75
00:04:15,788 --> 00:04:18,758
You just want to wait for the
broth to simmer a little bit.
76
00:04:18,825 --> 00:04:22,028
It's almost ready. Just going to
get to try.
77
00:04:24,931 --> 00:04:26,065

Oh man, it's going to be sweet,
sweet, sweet.
80
00:04:34,907 --> 00:04:38,077
I'm going to add a tiny bit of
butter into this.
81
00:04:38,144 --> 00:04:40,546
Well, I shouldn't say a tiny bit
because it's a lot of butter.
82
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:45,518
Look at that. It's just perfect.
Look.
83
00:04:45,585 --> 00:04:48,054
Just creamy.
The corn, the stock.
84
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:50,323
Isn't that beautiful?
85
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:52,392
I cannot wait to try them.
86
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,796
I'm going to show you how we eat
esquites in Mexico.
87
00:04:56,863 --> 00:05:00,433
The vendors will put a lot of
mayonnaise,
88
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:01,734
or aioli in this case,
89
00:05:01,801 --> 00:05:03,069
cotija cheese.
90
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:07,106
So, cotija is-- it's like a
salted feta cheese.
91
00:05:08,274 --> 00:05:09,375
They will crumble it all up.
92
00:05:09,442 --> 00:05:12,679
And then we're going to add a
bit of cilantro
93
00:05:12,745 --> 00:05:15,748
and oregano. Don't forget the
oregano.
94
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:17,817
And then here you have it.
Ready to try them.
95
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,255
Mm.
96
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:24,057
I can hear the traffic
97
00:05:24,123 --> 00:05:26,492
and the thousands of people
walking around and I just--
98
00:05:26,559 --> 00:05:28,561
I would feel that I'm in Mexico
city right now.
99
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:33,132
Mm.
100
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:35,802
It's something that I love about
this dish,
101
00:05:35,868 --> 00:05:37,503
as you're biting into it,
as you're chewing into it,
102
00:05:37,570 --> 00:05:38,504
you hear the crunchiness in your
ears...
103
00:05:38,571 --> 00:05:39,505
(Crackling)
104
00:05:39,572 --> 00:05:41,441
of the corn.
105
00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:45,311
The juiciness comes into your
mouth, the sweetness comes in,
106
00:05:45,378 --> 00:05:47,046
the saltiness just plays at the
very end.
107
00:05:47,113 --> 00:05:50,149
It's delicious.
108
00:05:50,216 --> 00:05:52,085
But you know what?
109
00:05:52,151 --> 00:05:53,720
Let's not kid ourselves.
110
00:05:53,786 --> 00:05:57,523
When we think of Mexican street
food, we think of?
111
00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:59,592
That's right. Tacos.

Heaven for taco lovers.

00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:29,856
And my favourite taco is chicken
tinga.
118
00:06:29,922 --> 00:06:33,359
The tenderness of chicken with

I want you to take a look at
this.
124
00:06:47,473 --> 00:06:50,076
Tomatillo is like-- it's the
cousin of a tomato,
125
00:06:50,143 --> 00:06:53,146
but it's very tart and acidic.
126
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:56,849

a flower.
127

Isn't this beautiful?

00:06:58,184 --> 00:07:01,821
She loves me. She doesn't.
She loves me.
129
00:07:03,256 --> 00:07:06,759
We use tomatillos for a lot of
dishes in Mexico because
130
00:07:06,826 --> 00:07:07,860
they grow everywhere.

I'm going to add a bit of
oregano.
144

Cumin, which was an introduction
by the Arabs to the Spanish
145

The smell! Man, the smell.
Oh my god.

It's like perfume.

These are chipotle peppers.
149

In its original state they're
ancho peppers,
150
00:08:38,818 --> 00:08:42,121
but then the ancho gets roasted
and then get marinated
151
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:43,589
in this adobo sauce that we're
going to be using
152
00:08:43,656 --> 00:08:47,093
for our tacos. Just add all of
it. It's really, really good.
153
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:49,962
They're not very spicy, but
they're smokey.
154
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:53,432
Now, this is the base of my
sauce.
155
00:08:53,499 --> 00:08:58,004
Just imagine, eh. The acidity,
the tartness of the tomatillos
156
00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:59,772
with the sweetness of the red
tomatoes,
157
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:03,676
and the spiciness and smokiness
of the chipotle chili.
158

Man,
159
00:09:05,378 --> 00:09:09,315
it makes for a very, very, very
well composed sauce here.
160
00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:13,085
Now, I want my sauce to be a
little bit more smooth,
161
00:09:13,152 --> 00:09:14,887
so I'm going to add a little bit
of chicken stock.
162
00:09:14,954 --> 00:09:16,923
Now, if you don't want chicken,
you can add vegetable stock
163
00:09:16,989 --> 00:09:20,192
or just a little bit of water
because remember,
164
00:09:20,259 --> 00:09:21,861
there's a lot of flavour already
here.
165
00:09:21,928 --> 00:09:23,996
Now this is the fun part.
166
00:09:24,063 --> 00:09:27,266
We're going to add mi pollo,
which is chicken.
167
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:30,169
So, I cooked this chicken in oil
and look how it breaks.
168
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:31,237
It's just falling apart
169
00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:33,406
almost without putting any force
into it.
170
00:09:33,472 --> 00:09:34,840
Look at that.
171
00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:37,577
The chicken is going to absorb
all the flavour in my sauce
172
00:09:37,643 --> 00:09:41,047
and it's going to make it super,
super, super tender
173
00:09:41,113 --> 00:09:42,748
and flavourful.
This is probably going to be
174
00:09:42,815 --> 00:09:45,785
one of the best tacos you'll
ever make.
175
00:09:45,851 --> 00:09:48,788
Now I just want you to take a
look at this.
176
00:09:48,854 --> 00:09:51,290
Blue tortilla.
How cool is that, eh?
177
00:09:51,357 --> 00:09:55,962
Blue tortilla is an ancient
grain that was found in Mexico
178
00:09:56,028 --> 00:09:58,631
and the corn in itself is blue.
179
00:09:58,698 --> 00:10:00,700
But what we're going to do with
this, we're going to toast them.
180
00:10:03,903 --> 00:10:05,671

181

182
00:10:14,747 --> 00:10:16,182
First thing's first, cheese.
183
00:10:16,248 --> 00:10:19,552
This is one of my favourite
cheese. It's called panela.
184
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:23,956
It's firm, it's squeaky, almost
like a cheese curd.
185
00:10:24,023 --> 00:10:26,525
That's what this reminds me of,
cheese curd, that's what it is.
186
00:10:26,592 --> 00:10:29,829
So, if you don't get panela, use
cheese curds for this. Perfect.
187
00:10:29,895 --> 00:10:32,498
What the cheese is going to do
to these tacos is just
188
00:10:32,565 --> 00:10:35,468
lower the amount of heat that we
get from the chipotles,
189
00:10:35,534 --> 00:10:38,204
just in case we added too much,
this is going to be helpful.
190
00:10:38,270 --> 00:10:41,474
Now the avocado, it's going to
do the same thing as the cheese.
191
00:10:41,540 --> 00:10:43,643
It's going to bring a bit of
creaminess into our taco
192
00:10:43,709 --> 00:10:46,278
and reduce the amount of heat
that we may end up having.
193
00:10:46,345 --> 00:10:48,948
Just want to cut this like that.
194
00:10:49,015 --> 00:10:51,984

I cannot wait.
195

I'm already salivating.
196
00:10:54,887 --> 00:10:57,289
The final moment, we're going to
start making our tacos.
197
00:10:57,356 --> 00:11:00,926
You want to make sure you have
enough of the sauce
198
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:04,830
with the beautiful, beautiful
smokiness of the chipotle.
199
00:11:04,897 --> 00:11:06,198
We're going to grab a bit of
cheese.
200
00:11:06,265 --> 00:11:09,201
And remember it's street food,
so if it falls apart,
201
00:11:09,268 --> 00:11:12,104
that's what it's supposed to do.
202
00:11:12,171 --> 00:11:14,173
And then, a bit of avocado.
203
00:11:15,574 --> 00:11:17,443
Tiny bit of cilantro.
204
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:20,513
This doesn't get anymore
Mexican.
205
00:11:23,182 --> 00:11:24,984

The spiciness of the chipotle,
211
00:11:38,397 --> 00:11:43,002
the smokiness goes phenomenal
with the avocado and the cheese.
212
00:11:43,069 --> 00:11:47,006
And this is the fun part because
can, you know, you eat
213

the taco from one end, you eat
it from the other end.

00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:26,698
But for that I'm going to show
you a little trick.
345
00:19:26,765 --> 00:19:28,167
I'm going to get a bit of
cornstarch.
346
00:19:28,233 --> 00:19:30,836
And we're going to add that
cornstarch into the egg yolks.
347
00:19:32,971 --> 00:19:36,275
That is going to prevent the egg
yolks to cook.
348
00:19:37,442 --> 00:19:38,644
Perfect.
349
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:41,113
Now, we're going to remove the
pan from the heat.
350
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:43,615
We're going to be putting all
the egg yolks into it.
351
00:19:43,682 --> 00:19:45,684
Look at the colour, look how
creamy it got.
352
00:19:48,487 --> 00:19:49,655
Man.
353
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:51,723
I'm just going
to add raisins to it.
354
00:19:54,226 --> 00:19:55,360
As you mix them with the rice,
355
00:19:55,427 --> 00:19:57,329
they're going to start soaking
all that flavour
356
00:19:57,396 --> 00:20:00,132
from the milk and the cinnamon
and the vanilla.
357
00:20:00,199 --> 00:20:03,068
And they're just this like,
little sweetness.
358
00:20:03,135 --> 00:20:06,572
That's it. We're ready to eat.
359
00:20:10,142 --> 00:20:12,711
Now, who doesn't like a good
arroz con leche?
360
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:17,816
Oh man.
361
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:19,885
This is perfect.
362
00:20:23,956 --> 00:20:24,990
(Sniffing)
363
00:20:25,057 --> 00:20:26,525
Ah!
364
00:20:26,592 --> 00:20:28,694
I can see my Grandma here.
365
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,464
For her final touch she used to
put a little bit of cinnamon
366
00:20:32,531 --> 00:20:34,132
on top of it.
367
00:20:34,199 --> 00:20:36,201
This is for you, Grandma.
368
00:20:37,269 --> 00:20:39,972
(Scratching)
369
00:20:40,038 --> 00:20:42,040
(Sniffing)
370
00:20:46,378 --> 00:20:48,780
This is-- this is incredible.
371
00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:58,957
Man, it's just-- the creaminess
with the egg and the milk.
372
00:20:59,024 --> 00:21:03,528
Man, look at this beautiful
goddess,
373
00:21:03,595 --> 00:21:05,597
a little raisin there.
374
00:21:07,766 --> 00:21:10,135
Packed with flavour, the
juiciness comes out.
375
00:21:10,202 --> 00:21:15,040
I can taste the cinnamon, the
vanilla just at the very back.
376
00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:17,509
You know what my favourite part?
377
00:21:17,576 --> 00:21:21,513
Carrying the orange into it...
378
00:21:21,580 --> 00:21:23,749
just brings a different
dimension in your mouth.
379
00:21:23,815 --> 00:21:25,917
It's just-- wow.
