This comment will likely get buried, but I have a few "lifehacks" that could make this more approachable. 1) Cut the tomatillos and peppers in half so you don't have to flip them 2) Use a hand/stick blender for the salsa, waaay less cleanup 3) use Chipotles in Adobo and blend that up with the seasonings before adding the meat, it'll become a type of paste that'll coat the meat better and that way you don't need to remove the meat from the pot, just shred it with a fork. 4) This works well with a salad, over rice or quinoa, or even just with chips (think of the nachos...) Fantastic video guys. My mouth was literally watering at the end.

I'm blessed to be here in south Texas. Almost every grocery store in San Antonio sells beef cheek (cachete de res). We make barbacoa almost every weekend. Put it in the slow cooker Saturday night and wake up to the most amazing tacos Sunday morning! 😋😋😋 My grandparents on my mother's side are immigrants from Mexico. My grandmother taught me how to make it.

You can also add chopped avocado to the salsa for extra flavor.

Ha he gave himself away when he said and hand signaled us that he is using “beef”. It’s funny because I didn’t see him before to be that chap of a guy. His other recipes are spot on. Real chicken and beef. But this time he qued us in on this may not be real beef. He most likely cooks with stuff he could get and his wife is old school Asian apparently.

So I have lived in Arizona for over 20 years and have not been able to find barbacoa like I used to get from the carniceria back home Chicago. I saw your video on how to make it yourself in a freaking instant pot. Well, what the hell might as well give it a try. OMG!! It's the same as back home. It's spot on. I can't believe it. The tomatillo salsa that was also on that video is killer. I roasted the vegetables on the Smokey Joe. It's sweet and smoky I added another jalapeno and Serrano to give it that extra kick. Freaking AWESOME!!! Thank you Sam😁👍👍

Hey sam here’s why tomatillos are sticky via the internet. “You'll notice that the tomatillos themselves are sticky underneath the husk. That sticky stuff contains some chemicals called withanolides, which, along with the husk, help ward off insects.”

Meanwhile, do a reduction of cranberry orange relish with balsamic vinegar and just enough sugar to take the edge off. When the bread pudding is done, cut in squares and serve in soup or pasta bowls, top with the reduction, and pour cold heavy cream all around the bottom. That was my dessert last Thanksgiving.

I freakin' love this channel. I like your energy, your recipes, and the funny dialog between you, Max & Chance. I had a crazy idea for a Not-Not week full of unusual recipes. But instead of just not-not tacos, you would do an entire week of different foods. Like, not-not egg rolls: with sloppy joe egg rolls, or pizza egg rolls, each with their own special dippings sauce. Then not-not nachos: with breakfast nachos made with huevos rancheros and spicy sausage. Not-not Po Boy's: with crunchy lobster Po Boys...While I was searching to see if you've already made an egg roll video. I was surprised that the one video I found from several years ago showed you using another mayo that wasn't Kewpie Japanese mayo. That shocked the sh!t out of me!

I need that salsa in my life. And as soon as I get a pressure cooker I'm making this dish.
