Tacos de Suadero | Rick Bayless Taco Manual

For many of you, suadero may not immediately conjure a taco of beefy tasting bits of crisped meat, but that’s too bad! Especially in Mexico City, when you see a chorizera-that cooking vessel with a dome in the center and a gurgling moat of fat surrounding it-everyone’s mouths water for suadero.
The meat is cooked until tender confit style in the fat, then chopped and crisped on the hot dome before piling it on a tortilla, ready for salsa. A lot of folks will tell you that suadero meat is one of the beefy-tasting, tough cuts from the belly section, often a cut called navel. But I’ve seen cooks in Mexico use lots of other cuts too-pretty much anything that has a rich taste and needs a long, slow cook to tenderize it. Since many of the cuts used by the pros in Mexico aren’t easily available in States-side grocery stores, I’m calling for brisket here, preferably the brisket flat (not the point), which is most richly marbled.
Street vendors using a chorizera typically cook tripe and longaniza sausage in the same fat with the beef, creating a very rich-tasting medium for the long, slow cooking. Since a chorizera might be out of the question for a lot of you, I’m suggesting that you do that slow cooking in a slow cooker and, if it appeals to you, add a little chorizo to more closely resemble the fat of the street vendors.

    This is in fact, the only (non-mexican) chef who doesn't destroy Mexican food. He is so educated about it that he actually respects the culture (of the food). Thank you Mr Bayless for showing the world how real/ authentic mexican food is made.

For each taco you got, they would dip the tortilla into the meat juices and cook it on the dome. It was so so incredible.

    Hey, just wanted to say I love your content and super easy to follow recipes! That being said I just wanted to comment on your interview about The Bear. I think somehow you were able to have an amazing career of restaurants that treated you right and chefs that were there to teach and help you climb that ladder. I say somehow, because in my experience and I think most of us cook/chefs have way more horror stories from the kitchens we worked in then good ones. I've worked in the industry for 16 years and in at least 11 different establishments. All across the board from grocery store kitchens to cafes, fine dining to farm to table and my experience has been the exact opposite. Only 3 of those were nice kitchens with happy employees and chefs who weren't narcissistic sadists. We had a chef take away out floor mats because we couldn't keep them spotless during service, Ive seen a chef throw a tray(like a whole tray out of the oven) of souffles at a coworker because he made them wrong, I've seen a chef hit a hot pan with oil in it out of a co workers hand and it splashed the scalding oil on his thumb and hand( he was too terrified to go tell HR. Against my advice he did nothing), we had our waterstation walled off during renovations and the chef cracked open a fancy glass bottle of water and proceeded to tell us if he saw any of us drinking the bottled water he would fire us(this was in Las Vegas, the kitchen was regularly 115-120°F.)...these are just a few and the list goes on and on. I just feel like you should know that your experience was rare in this industry and it's one that very few share.😉

I think I am going to do the slow-cooker method with the fat/water solution, chorizo, and beef in a dutch oven. That dutch oven will go in the Smoker with the lid off. Hoping that may function like the choricera but also gather some smoke flavor along the way. Great video. I love Tacos!
