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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you're serving to non-natives add crema agria, cheese, and flour tortillas. Otherwise, keep it healthy

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

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."

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.

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.

Chef Brian - this is officially my favorite KZread channel. Period. Also having Chef Paul on is simply icing on the cake!

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

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 😂

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.

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.

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.

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!

"Who's family? Your family?"😂

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 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

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.

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.

Look up his huevos ranchero dish. It's straight nonsense.

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.

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

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

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!!

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’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.

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 KZread? 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 KZread with distinct personalities which is why I dig your content. Keep on pushing!

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.

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

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!

@@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

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…

Last year when I was in Portugal We saw Jamie on the tv and I couldn’t stop laughing

He could just say "delicious tortilla wrap dinner fast and easy!" And no one would bat an eye!

Beautiful organized chaos(khoas),..hmm great band name, or clan in some game

Imo I love flour tortillas but there is something endearing when using corn tortillas that you fry up yourself. ❤

🤔 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.

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.

I'm in the U.K and you can get chipotle powder anywhere!

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.

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

"Leaving the corn whole" Me intentionally misunderstanding, "not if I can help it 😏 "

We have both cumin AND taco seasoning AND tex mex seasoning (kind of - it's fajita seasoning) in the UK...

By using yogurt, makes me think Jamie OliveOil thinks Mexico is in the Middle East lol 😆 😅 This could have been called Mediterranean food video 😅

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.

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?

@@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.

Many abuelas are rolling their eyes right now.

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.

"Organized Chaos" isn't a very appetizing description for one's cooking.

Beautiful organized chaos..ok sure lol

I love authentic Mexican food. Cow head tacos are my favorite!

You can get Chipotle paste no problem in the UK.

It could be a family favorite for a family who's never heard of or tasted Mexican food or Tex mex😆

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.
