I made another crazy burrito. This one was very personal for me. I love a Country Skillet and have not had one in a couple of years. This burrito scratched that itch!

A while back I did a short joke video about what I called an Irish Taco. That is jsut a baked potato with some taco meat in it. It was funny BUT... it was also delicious. Now, I taking this seriously and doing it the right way. Enjoy! BTW, this version is exclusively on Rumble. The YouTube version left out a couple of jokes I didn't think I could get away with there.

In this video I let me inner child out and decided to make fun of some lady on YouTube. Why I thought that was a good idea, I'm not sure. I think this is funny and not at all a dig at anyone OTHER than her. Even then, nothing personal but I just thought your video was hilarious so here we are. Friends?

I may need to seek professional help for my crazy burrito obsession lately but this one, this one is special. Putting a chili dog in a burrito is NOT normal. It is EXTRA normal. Then dropping it in the deep fryer and turning it into a Chimichanga, that is truly crazy. I just wish I knew what it tastes like. There is chocolate in the chili so I didn't get to try this one. Soon, I will make hotdog gravy and bring back the chili cheese dog chimichanga! Stay tuned! Please share, subscribe and hit the like button if you enjoyed this episode.

Chili comes in many forms and this one is definitely one of them. Turkey Chili is very popular with some folks and if you are one of them, perhaps you are related to my wife. She loves this stuff so I came up with my own amazing recipe. It's relatively quick and easy plus your body will not be mad at you a few hours later. Enjoy! Chile de Pavo Con Frijoles Dry Spice Ingredients: 1 tsp Chili Powder 1 tsp Paprika 1 tsp Cumin 1 tsp Chipotle Pepper Powder (Hot Smoked Paprika would work too) 1/2 tsp Mexican Ground Oregano (reg Ground Oregano would work too) 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper 1 tsp Salt 2 tsp Granulated Sugar 1 tsp Baking Chocolate or 1/4 of a milk chocolate candy bar Dried Chile Peppers: 4 Chile de Arbol Peppers 3 Guajillo Peppers 2 Pasilla Peppers 2 New Mexico Peppers (California or other medium heat large pepper) Wet Ingredients: 12oz of Dark Beer 2 cups Beef Stock 15oz can Tomato Sauce 15oz can Kidney Beans, Drained 1 tbsp Oil Fresh Ingredients: 1 White Onion, diced 1 Jalapeño, Diced 1 Roma Tomato, Diced 4 Cloves Garlic, minced 1 lb Ground Turkey Plus, up to 3 tbsp Masa Harina flour, for thickening if necessary Deseed and remove the stems from your Dried Chiles. Place in a large dry pot (no oil) over medium heat and warm up the dried chiles, just until flexible again. About 1-2 minutes. DO NOT LET THEM BURN. Turn them over a few times while heating Add Beer and Beef Stock and bring to a simmer. Let the Chiles simmer for about 15 minutes, covered. Remove the Chile mixture from the heat and let cool for a few minutes before putting it in a blender and blending the Chiles and liquid as fine as you can get it. Strain the mixture into a large bowl and add the Tomato Sauce to the bowl. Set aside for now. Add oil ti the pot you cooking the Chiles in and add the Onion, Jalapeño, Diced Tomato and garlic to the pot. Brown over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes. Add the ground Turkey and break up the meat. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add the dry spices and drained kidney beans to the meat and cook until no pink is left in the meat. Add the Chile and Tomato Sauce mixture to the pot and let simmer, covered for about 1 hour on low heat. If the chili is too thin add a little Masa Harina at a time and stir to thicken. Continue until you get the consistency you desire. If it gets too thick you can add more Beef Stock or a little water to thin it out. Serve with more fresh diced onions, shredded cheddar cheese, corn chips, on thin spaghetti or on your favorite hot dogs or burger. Enjoy!

I'm not the first person to try this idea out BUT I think my take on this delivers a true Big Mac experience. Bonus, I made the REAL Big Mac sauce. Yes, there is no ketchup in their sauce. It uses Paprika to get the color and flavor. Enjoy! Please share, subscribe and hit the like button if you enjoyed this episode.

If you have been following this channel for a while now you know I have done a BUNCH of fast-food copycat recipes. Of all of them this is definitely the most recent. Old joke, sorry. Naugles always had a special place in my heart and this is one of their more unique menu items. The Ortga Burger is the one thing they had that was 100% theirs. I made this copycat version but you can still buy this (for now...) and enjoy it even if you can't cook. Just get on a plane and fly to Orange County, CA and go to Naugles and get one.

Back in high school Naugles was the place to go. The closest one to me was not very close but we got over there at least once a week. It helped that one of my friends worked the graveyard shift there for a bit. Not very long... we all didn't help that situation much BUT it there is a special place in my heart for Naugles. It is back and as good as ever from what I hear. I haven't been able to get out there to try it so I have been working on a few of my old favorites here at home. The Naugles Taco Meat was really great. It was way better than everyone else back then and I hear it still is. They are very proud of the pure ingredients they use to make it and I worked to bring that to this recipe. This is the new "go to" taco meat recipe from me and I hope, for you too. Enjoy! 1 lb Ground Beef 1 tbsp Chili Powder 1 tsp Paprika 1 tsp Cumin 1 tsp Granulated Garlic 1 tbsp Dried Minced Onions 1 tsp Salt ¼ tsp Mexican Ground Oregano ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper ½ tsp Sugar 1 tbsp Tomato Paste ½ tbsp Oat Flour ½ tbsp Masa Harina 1 tsp Lime Juice 1 cup Beef Stock Please share, subscribe and hit the like button if you enjoyed this episode.

Del Taco is known for having pretty good food. Their Grilled Chicken Taco (available in hard shell or soft) is one of the reasons people love this place. The chicken is solid but the star of this taco is their Secret Sauce! It works perfectly with the rest of the ingredients and add some of their Del Scorcho or Del Inferno sauce and you have a little piece of heaven in your hands. Make one for yourself and see what I mean. Enjoy! Del Taco Secret Sauce Recipe (best guestimation) 2 tbsp Mayonnaise 1 tbsp Buttermilk Pinch of Salt Pinch of sugar Stir, cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour before use.

Naugles is BACK! https://ktla.com/news/local-news/after-20-years-naugles-is-back-in-southern-california/ Europe has art, literature, music, culture, castles and thousands of years of history and traditions but we have childhood memories of great lost fast-food restaurants from the 70s and 80s! Naugles is the tops of that list for many and for good reason. Their menu was unique and the food was amazing. This is one of those great items from the old menu. Part club sandwich, part Mexican fast-food. The Club Burrito was and is again an icon of culinary history. Over selling it a bit? Maybe. Try and find out for yourself.
