    Everything looks good. I just want to point out that the ingredients in teh Birria Bomb are much worse than the taco seasoning

    Sea salt
    Black pepper
    Oregano
    Cumin

    Holy $hit, those crispy tacos were amazing… My kids couldn't get enough of them, and the taco seasoning was outstanding 👌

    Thank you…

    i learned how to cook on YouTube, started about 15 or more years ago.. five years into it i was getting a reputation as a "good cook" this lady is a big contributer to my success.

  19. @Valerie77777

    OMG! I can't believe I've never made tacos like all of these before! I cannot wait to try all of these! And the margarita, too! Thank you!!

    American processed cheese with a taco? Potato chips on the side? NO THANKS.
    Don't know what you're thinking here. Why not pickled cabbage and deep fried juniper berries? Kale fritters and xcvxiee sauce?
    Spicy pig nuts with hollandaise and a parsley bonnet with a sweet potato reduction. Just all around badness here.

    What’s fun is I’m into making my own chili powders. There are a few nice dried pepper pods or dried peppers. I like to combine a mix and make my own chili powder. I use Red Mexico peppers, Guajillo peppers 🌶️ dried, one or two Serrano peppers . They’re hot, I use poblanos, etc etc. seed them , powder them in a coffee grinder after chopping up in my blender. Guajillo peppers powdered alone is a very mild chili powder. I add a bit of salt in my chili powders

    I’m the only woman I’m sure that doesn’t have a crock pot. Is a slow cooker feature on a insta pot the same ?

  31. @bryanworth8292

    Wow Nicole! All of the tacos you made look absolutely delish. Your kitchen looks like a fun place to be. Gonna try em all……and the margaritas. Cheers from Michigan.

    My (American) wife and I watched this (in the UK) and agreed we may need to kidnap Nicole and bring her across the pond!

  37. @osakarose5612

    Oh my gosh! I definitely need to make those birria tacos and the Rotel ones. Both look so delicious! Thanks, Nicole, for these great taco recipes. Taco Tuesday, here I come!🌮

    Hi, I was wondering. I made your taco seasoning and was wondering how long it lasts when you store it in a mason jar? Thanks❤

  41. @safeandeffective435

    Always amazing recipes, thank you. Taco seasoning packets have a lot of nasty ingredients but taco shells are just as bad if not worse. I was at the store the other day and scanned probably a dozen or more with the yuka app and wow what a potpourri of chemicals. Does anyone know of a chemical free brand?
