We just made this. We couldn’t find avocado leaves. My husband said “it was hands down the best barbacoa he’s had in his life” agreed it was really tasty! 🤤

Greetings from Australia, new subscriber here. It's almost impossible to find authentic Mexican food here so the only option is to make my own, and your videos have been really helpful and interesting. I've literally just arrived home after driving across town to the only dedicated Mexican grocery store in my city, after being inspired by your recipes. I could almost taste the flavours coming out of that Barbacoa, thank you!

Ditto from Breckenridge, Colorado. But luckily we have a Mexican grocery called Dos Chiles in Dillon that had the ingredients. Making tacos for a friend who knee surgery. The struggle is real. :)

Madame, you are an excellent teacher. Your cadence is perfectly timed to the speed of proper instruction, you illustrate every move well in the video, and what's even more important is that you don't skip the tedious things other KZread channels just pass by without mention. For example, taking the time to show how an entire banana leaf is heated before use, and specifically telling people that it will take time and be as awkward as shown when trying to heat a giant leaf in a much smaller comal. It manages expectations well. And I like the way you show your respects to Mexico. I have bookmarked this video and I will be making this for my family EXACTLY as you have shown here. Thank you so very much for sharing your expertise with me. On a philosophical level, consider the fact that your work will literally become parts of all the people served barbacoa made from this video. Your efforts will create the cells which grow babies into toddlers, teens into adults, and supply new cells to replace those which continuously slough away from our bodies, both inside and out, and sustain our very lives. This, to me, has always been the most benevolent thing about cooking for loved ones. A person who serves this process is what we call a "Mensch." I sincerely hope your channel brings you healthy profits.

I Just Started Watching Your Channel & I Really Don't Know How To Cook But Watching Your Videos I've Been Practicing Con La Comida Mexicana Poquito a Poquito I'm Getting Better, Great Channel Gracias Rosanna

im so happy i found ur channel! i lived right next to the mexican border for my entire life so i got used to having really good mexican food all around me but i just moved to europe and they don’t have anything like that here. im starting to learn how to make it at home from your videos and im so happy i can replicate these recipes at home to enjoy:-) thanks for sharing ur knowledge!

I just made this for a family party. We live in Oregon now, but grew up in a heavily Hispanic community in California and really miss the food from our youth. My whole family was so happy. It was so rich and delicious. Thank you so much!

Subscribed to your channel. Like the person from Australia below, I can't find the authentic Mexican food I've been so lucky to have in my numerous visits to Mexico. Not many go as far to wrap in banana and add the avocado leaves, kudos. Thanks to your video's and ingredients via Amazon, this Gringo puts out some convincing barbacoa ;) Your chorizo recipe is another of my favorites.

It looks delicious. I will try this version of BIRRIA. Birria is meat cooked in chiles and water/broth. BARBACOA is meat marinaded in chile sauce and steamed in leaves.

Thank you so much! Welcome to Villa Cocina 😊

This looks delicious! Just found your channel today and I'll have to add this one to my "want to try" list. Just have to get all the ingredients first. 👏🏼 Question though, have you tried this recipe via a slow cooker? I'm curious if it would work out the same there? Especially if I'm unable to find the banana leaves, not sure if that would even matter?

So thankful I've had mexican friends that considered me family and a brother in law that all could and loved to cook really well and feed me everytime i was around authentic Mexican food is amazing and yes I was smart enough to stay away from that mezcal no shots for me lol

This looks very similar to birria! I wonder what differentiates the two. The differences I do notice between the two (at least the way i've made birria) are the banana and avocado leaves. Everything else is very similar.

@Jefuslives

Birria is also considered barbacoa but is usually cooked in liquid like stew rather than being wrapped in leaves and steamed over the liquid. This recipe is kind of a hybrid.

Thanks for telling us where to find banana leaves!

Will be making

Awesome! let me know how it turns out.

Looks delicious! What did you do with left over sauce, that u had left from dipping meat with?

Cooking now, very excited. Any uses for the extra sauce after you coat the meat? Should I pour some extra in besides adding 6 cups of water?

In my local Mexican market here in California, all they have is Pasilla-Ancho chiles. Can I substitute those for both the Pasilla and the Ancho chiles in your recipe?

🤤🤤How is this different from birria?

Good question, they are very similar dishes. It all comes down to cooking method and the way they are served.

Can you make the tacos with queso cheese like birria?

Wast thinking of doing banana leaves beef cheek and salt. What are your thoughts

fun

Can I have a bite out of that too?😁

Do the banana and avocado leaves really add any significant flavor?

I love this, I could make this but I would be the only one eating it.......and after 6 tacos......the rest would go to waste because my son and wife have no clue what is good. LOL !

@Richard Garrison: Yes you can cook it on the stove top. Two things I would suggest: 1. Add a bit more water, to cover the meat completely. 2. Cook on a low simmer, medium-low to low heat (depends on your stove). You will know its ready when the meat is fork tender. I would say check @ 3 hrs and if needed, let it cook longer. Hope this helps.

would this work on stovetop

Can I make it without banana leaves. The ones from Goya I don’t really like.

What is the difference between beef birria and beef barbacoa?

Can someone PLEASE enlighten me. I’ve tried to buy a chuck roast 10 times in Mexico and have gotten 10 different random cuts. What should I be asking for??????
