We spent $50 at three different grocery
stores to see how many tacos you can
make.
Welcome back to Mythical Kitchen, where
we all got to eat. Before us, we have
the results of three different grocery
trips. What we did is we gave each of us
a $50 bill and then Trevor laundered
that $50 bill and he actually put that
into was it a vending machine business?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Vending machines.
Really? Unfortunately, I put some bad
stock in there. Knockoff cookie brands.
It was It was rough. So, he got that $50
back and then he went to Walmart and he
bought as many ingredients as he
possibly could to make a taco night.
Lily went over to
>> Air1.
>> Did you see one of the Bers?
>> Um Oh, yeah. Haley Bieber smoothie. It's
not bad.
>> And it only cost $22. [laughter]
>> How do you know that?
>> I bought it for a friend who really
wanted it. It is gross. It tastes like
wet dog.
>> No, it doesn't.
>> Collagen is disgusting. Okay. What did
you Okay. Yeah. Yeah. What did you
notice at Heroine?
>> Um, well, the produce is really laid out
perfectly, but this is the ripest
pineapple I could find, which is
>> here. Give it a sniff. Let me smell the
pineapple. [snorts]
>> It's like medium ripe.
>> I'm smelling some.
>> I need it for my thing.
>> At least I'm smelling a bit.
>> Yeah. You look like you don't have very
many groceries there.
>> No, it's going to be a struggle for me.
>> How much did the single avocado set you
back?
>> Like $500.
>> Where did you go, Josh? I went to the
Dollar Tree cuz listen man, we've been
cooking with Dollar Tree ingredients for
a couple years in the show and I feel
like at this point we kind of know how
to hack the system. You know, you got to
go to fresh stums and frankly stums are
not that bad for you. They're pretty
good to cook with. It is pure beef. Um
we have a lot of different ingredients
because the way we wanted to play this,
we didn't want to make the exact
identical tacos because if you're going
for their beef is like $40 a pound no
matter what. That cod's probably the
cheapest protein they sell there, right?
Yeah, it was 26 a pound.
>> God, that's so expensive. Um, and you
know, if you're going to Walmart, the
best deal in the whole damn store is the
rotisserie chicken.
>> Yeah, they got some looks.
>> Got a couple looks hauling these babies
out.
>> For $50, we got five rotisserie chicken,
70 tortillas, and like all of the
produce and cheese you could possibly
want. Plus the world's biggest jalapeno.
This is obscene.
>> Massive. How What's the GMO ratio in
that? [laughter]
>> I don't even think it's GMO. I just
think being inside Walmart gives it some
sort of radiation. Um, then we've got,
you know, the steakums, the stir-fried
peppers over here. I'm really curious to
see not only how much yield we get from
each of these $50 hauls, but like if we
can actually make something good and
delicious. Great job, Trevor's coming
out of your next $50.
>> Didn't happen. I'm not only curious to
see how many tacos we can get out of
each $50 haul, but also how good they
are, cuz Walmart, it's going to be tough
to compete with the volume here. Yeah, I
got a lot of meat, a lot of protein. I
think that's where Lily's going to
struggle here is just like how much
protein.
>> I have one tortilla in this bag.
>> I think I could use all these.
>> That's crazy, man. I think I could use
all these. 70 count. I'm making 70
tacos.
>> We'll see how this goes. You'all ready
to cook?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Let's do it.
>> Trevor, we got $50 worth of groceries
from the Dollar Tree. We're going to
make a bunch of steak and cheese tacos.
And I need a lot of energy and a lot of
focus. And no bits.
>> Yeah. No bits. bit stakes. We got a lot
to get through. Okay. So, I'm going to
need you I'm going you to shred
>> tell Picasso not to paint. [laughter]
>> Tell LeBron James not to play basketball
or me not to give historical fun facts.
Fun fact, do you know that Picasso used
to just he didn't carry cash and he
would just try and pay with his
paintings.
>> He'd like go to a restaurant and he'd
like get a beer and a plate of food and
they give him the bill and he'd just
like hand them a drawing and be like,
"I'm Picasso." And they'd be like, "I we
need money."
>> That's what I do with our YouTube
videos. Be like, "Have you seen this?
Can I have my coffee for free?
[laughter]
Uh, I'm going to start winging in these
beef sheets and chopping them up and
then get them into that bowl. I'm going
season them up. And you want a little
bit of spice in your tacos. Otherwise,
you're just kind of eating plain ground
beef. We're going to get a little bit of
neutral oil. Also, what you might
notice, we're no longer cooking on those
little fire burner camp stoves. No, no,
no. Bang. Fire department. Won't let us
cook with fire in a kitchen.
>> Do you want bigger?
>> Don't write them a letter. We don't want
anymore. But, you know, I just I want to
complain about them here.
>> You want big or small?
>> Big or small? Let's go big.
I'm just going to start winging in as
many beef seats as possible. We're going
to try and cook with all of our Oh god,
it's frozen beef and hot oil.
>> No, it's okay.
>> Why did I think of this?
>> Gosh, face your fears.
>> Why do I speak like John Love it?
>> Face your fears.
>> He was in the movie Rat Race.
>> Do you want me to race?
>> Uh,
no. Tell me about it.
>> You want to watch Rat Race?
>> Tell me about it.
>> Oh, great little fun family ensemble
comedy. Breer.
>> Big Bre and Meer guy. Uh, you're not
selling me on it. I need something more.
>> They There's What's the plot of Rat? I
don't remember what the plot is.
>> Okay.
>> Uh, [laughter]
>> the good thing about stakums is that you
can kind of like hack them up and
manipulate them any way you want. The
bad thing about stums is they do look
like this.
>> No, that's not bad. It's beautiful.
>> Trevor just said I was being hormonal.
[laughter]
>> You definitely
>> That is not true.
>> That's true.
>> That is not true. You said I was being
hormonal and I just We're getting off to
a rough start.
>> My gosh, it's not even true. Okay. Uh I
will be making with my $50 worth of
ingredients from Walmart. Uh we'll be
making Well, we we will be making uh
chicken tinga tacos.
>> Fun.
>> Yeah. You know, we got a little little
Chipotles and adobo over here. Figured
it could be pretty easy. Uh I'm not
going to do much of what Josh was doing.
Um, I'm not going to really take any
lessons from him.
>> Going to try and kind of go, you know,
forge a path of my own here.
>> I think it'll turn out better.
>> Really?
>> Yeah.
>> I really think that is that just cuz
you're helping me.
>> When he goes like off script a little
bit, it gets very chaotic.
>> N you just can't question him, you know?
That's just who he is. Okay, I'm
pushing.
>> I cut your onion.
>> You cut my onion.
>> Go. There you go.
>> That's as cut as you.
>> All right. No, no, no.
>> It's going to get blended.
>> No, I know. I know. I know. I was just
curious. So, as I was just asking the
question, I was just asking the
question.
>> Why do you have one misfit?
>> Um, for the seasoning, four lemon pepper
rotisserie chickens just would have been
too many. I mean, five. Can't count.
>> Dude, how about this garlic? Huh?
>> Yeah, take your time. Um, I'm shredding
like a ton of chicken. We have one, two,
three, four, five bags [music] here.
>> And then I'm going to make chicken
stock.
>> Yeah, we're going to make chicken stock
in 5 minutes.
>> [laughter]
>> have time to simmer.
>> Well, it might be more than 5 minutes
with how long it's taking me to
crap.
>> You can do this. You've made such a mess
in like the 2 seconds we've been
cooking.
>> Okay, I've got about six square inches
of counter to work with here. Okay, peel
in scarlic. So, cut me some slack.
>> Thanks for appreciating women.
>> Good morning. As grocery store
ingredient prices go up,
>> who are your three favorite? Why is he
in here still?
>> Why can't I have anything to myself?
>> Guys, I'm watching a video. Can you
quiet? I'm just kidding, guys. That's
been another Trevor Evers bed. I'll see
you later. All right. Well, bye. I'll
see you. That's a wrap. Thanks so much
for stopping by the kitchen.
>> I'm alone.
Josh, come back.
>> So, I didn't have no affordability to
buy a bunch of seasonings for $10 a jar.
>> Didn't have some of them. Uh, so I got
this al pastor taco seasoning that is
going to just like season the that's
it's everything.
>> See this? What's the ingredients in it?
>> Al pastor,
>> salt, pineapple powder in here, which is
interesting.
>> Do you want to taste it?
>> Yeah, let's taste. You dot dot up a
little a little lineski,
you know.
>> Yeah, I can get a bench scraper.
>> It's going to take some in the hand. Uh,
do people know what is? Should we tell
them what it is?
>> Oh, it's a grocery [music] store and
it's it's super satisfying and very
infur infuriating. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
>> You go in there and it's like um
>> bad.
>> I don't know. That guy that guy uh looks
like he's dressed like Mark Zuckerberg
for Halloween and then there's like
sometimes it is Mark Zuckerberg in there
and he's trying to like get you in like
a BJJ lock, you know? And he's just
like, [clears throat] I love smoking
meats like a normal human man. And he's
just saying that all the time. It's
really bizarre. All right. You want me
to break down this pineapple?
>> Yeah. So Josh is going to make a little
pineapple salsa. And then we had to have
like two fillings in our tacos. So we
just make that rule. We made that rule.
>> That's how I like to eat tacos. You
know, salsa and then like a something
else.
>> Yeah. But my thing is just [music] like
an avocado slice cuz I didn't have any
affordability to get anything.
>> Air one is ridiculously expensive. And
they don't carry like normal brand
products. So you can't [music] go in
there and get Frank's Frank's Red Hot.
But you can go in there and get David
Beckham's son's hot sauce. [music]
>> It's a good hot sauce.
>> I've never tried it. Every time I think
about getting it, it it's a beautiful
bottle. There's a lot of beautiful
bottles in there.
>> Beautiful.
>> Beautiful bottles. And then they got
Have you ever had a smoothie from there?
>> Yeah. Un. Yes. And I like them.
>> I dumped the peppers in the pan. We're
going to hack these up. Get these
incorporated with beef for our taco
filling. Going to eat that little rogue
piece of beef there.
>> Oh yeah. Hope that was cooked. Trevor's
making what some might call cowboy
caviar. What some might call a little
like um encilada deololis or bean salad
in English. And so we're going to kind
of use this as a topping. We could have
made a bean puree. We could have done a
salsa and folada. That's a fun one.
>> We could have done it.
>> Bean sauce.
>> Dude, why didn't we do that?
>> We could still do it. Should we do it?
>> No, we got corn in there. We have
another
happen when we go off clan. Nothing's
happen.
>> Nothing's happen. We
>> also have another salsa plan.
>> We have another salsa plan that I got
from my favorite Instagram account
called Elma Salsas. Everyone, stop what
you're doing right now. Go watch Elma
Salsa's videos. The guy got like 150
different kinds of salsas that he can
make. What? Hence the term Elas salsa,
you know what I mean?
>> Oh.
>> Um,
>> it's just a salsa Instagram account and
I love it.
>> Salsa.
>> I mean, he makes good food and he'll put
it on the food as well, but I've gotten
a lot a lot of ideas from Elas Salsas.
>> What's your favorite salsa you've made
recently? [music]
>> Oh, my favorite sal Oh my god, let's
think about it. Um, I made I mean for
Thanksgiving, this isn't recently, but I
made like a cranberry chili morita
salsa. That was really fun. What? Oh, I
made a pipon verde with like uh what
it's peep verde. What? What are you,
Shrek? Huh?
Okay. Well, I'm just going to wait to
get this cooking a little bit in here.
>> Get it fragrant. You know,
>> would you say that's a word that we
should use to describe this?
>> Here you go.
>> E. What is that?
>> What is that?
>> It's a chicken. [laughter]
>> Dude,
>> it's a chicken string to tie the legs
together.
>> Oh my god. That looks like something
you'd like
>> chicken jelly.
>> That looks like something you pull out
of like a dead fish. Like it was eating
garbage or something. in the ocean and
that's what you pulled out.
>> The turtles.
>> Yeah, but not a turtle.
>> Save the turtles.
>> Turtle make me sad to think about. Maybe
like a mackerel or something.
>> Oh, that doesn't make me sad.
>> This is good stuff. Really? Get those
sweating in there, Lily.
>> Yeah. Can you help? Are you just
>> These are really sweating in here.
>> Can you shred some chicken?
>> No.
>> I got stuff to do.
>> Okay.
>> I got I don't know. Gloves. Where are
the gloves? I'm stepping on garlic. Who
put that garlic thing?
>> I'm stress cooking with you. We haven't
cooked in a while together. This
>> I need these to get smaller. These
aren't getting smaller because they're
so big.
>> Well, stop putting your bare hands in
the pan.
>> I have to do it.
>> I feel like I can do this faster.
>> Lily, here. Good. Let me get Can I help?
>> Yeah. I'm going to open another one.
We're getting
>> It's cold. I don't know why I thought it
was going to be warm.
>> It's
>> I don't know why I thought it was going
to be warm.
>> Why? You hurt you.
>> I don't want to touch it. Oh. Oh, that's
why it's gelatinous.
>> Chicken jelly.
>> Ew. Ew. Ew. It's good for you.
>> I don't like the way it feels though.
>> You're a Never mind.
>> No, say it.
>> No,
>> just say it.
>> You're You're being a girl.
>> That's really messed up of you to say.
>> You cook like a girl.
>> Hey, thank you.
>> Good save. [laughter]
>> Hey, what's up, guys? Welcome back. Uh,
we're here doing our cooking. Lily just
got all that chicken shredded. Those
bones are in the stock. Lily's going to
get started on some guacamole now. Lily,
you've made guacamole before, right?
>> Mhm.
>> Of course you have.
>> Um,
>> why do you say that?
>> I don't know. Uh, I got some Okay, so
I've got these onions going. They got a
little bit of browning. They're sweat a
little bit. They're loose. So, I'm going
to add my other little adobo sauce
ingredients. Uh, chipotle pepper in
adobo. Pretty important ingredient.
[laughter]
>> These are some nice avocados you picked
out.
>> Why is that funny?
Dude,
>> a girl can't compliment her coworker.
>> No, she can't
>> because I'm a woman.
>> I actually I honestly thought it would
have come out by now.
>> Oh, no peppers, just a ton of juice.
Okay, there we go.
>> I don't
>> That smells good. I love chipotles and
adobo.
>> This is
>> You do?
>> Yep.
>> Awesome.
>> Okay.
[laughter] and some tomatoes going in
there.
>> Um, I have these tortillas. There's like
one in here. They are vista armosa. And
they don't feel I mean,
oh gosh, feel how hard these are.
>> I'm doing something, but press it
[music] to my skin. That's very hard. It
feels like a cat's tongue.
>> It actually does. It's
>> feels sandpapery, but that could be good
for a tortilla, you know,
>> as long as it becomes pliable. Chef, do
you want smaller dices on this? I was
trying to go for like a pico. If I can
run a knife through it.
>> It's too late now. But no, I I like it.
>> I like it. It's chunky.
>> Are you sure?
>> No, I actually do like it. And it is
like my main thing.
>> Can I ask I was I was doing I was
playing computers when Trevor made his
misogynistic comments. What did What did
he say?
>> Computers.
>> Yeah.
>> He just told me that I was being
hormonal and that's how it started it
all.
>> And I wasn't even saying anything.
Actually, I was excited to cook with him
today.
I think um it's it's not that either
gender is more emotional than the other,
but I think that society has told us
that our emotions should manifest in
certain ways. So like when men deal with
sadness, they tend to [music] go towards
anger.
>> That's true.
>> When uh women deal with sadness, they
tend to go towards seclusion and
depression.
>> I mean, I do feel a little depressed.
>> Yeah,
>> from that comment.
>> And Trevor's angry. He's over there just
bashing bashing his fists against a
brick wall. Look at him.
Do it. Do it, Trevor.
>> Pretty chill.
>> I'm sorry. We're now misrepresenting
Trevor. Trevor is actually one of the um
most supportive men of women that I
know.
>> Yeah, he is.
>> Trevor, name your top three women from
history.
>> Top three women from history. Okay.
[clears throat] Probably
Ann Bonnie, Mary Reed,
uh, and Marie Cury.
>> Marie Cury is a good poll. Who are the
other ones? Do you know the other ones?
>> No, I don't know anything. two of the
fiercest pirates to sail the seven seas.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Yeah,
>> dude. That's a good one. Who's Who's the
um
>> There was the She was like a a the
leader of the largest band of Chinese
pirates.
>> Oh, yes.
>> She commanded like one of the biggest
fleets. I'm sorry. The men are talking
real real quick here. So, yeah, there
was We're talking about supporting
women.
>> So, if you could just So, there was the
Chinese uh pirate.
>> Yeah. What's her name? I I can't
remember her name. We got We
>> We can figure this out here. So, she
committed a fle
>> I'm sad today.
>> What do you want to talk about?
>> Um,
>> I like to do a podcast from her real
quick. Hey, do you like podcasts and men
who host them? Statistically, 78% of
podcasts are hosted by men. Listenership
is not high. Anyways, I have one. It's
with a woman, though. It's called a hot
dog as a sandwich. Our last episode is
with another man, though. I will say
that. So, it's So, check it out. It's me
and Chase Hilt taste [music] testing
Doritos Naked. So, go over to a hot dogs
as a sandwich and watch me and Chase
Hilt taste test Doritos naked.
>> Okay, my fish is done and I'm ready to
assemble.
>> You know what I worry about when
sometimes like you start something as a
joke but then it like turns [music] real
because you you do it so much and I
don't want that to happen with the
joking misogyny.
>> What?
>> You're twisting my words.
>> I didn't know what you're trying to say.
I'm saying that I don't want to continue
down this Trevor hates women, we hate
women rabbit hole because Yeah, I think
we just We had our fun.
>> We had our fun
>> and I think we can I think we can kill
the bet. I think we can retire the bet.
>> I don't want
>> But you're still sad. That's real.
>> That's real.
>> That's real.
>> This is coming straight out of Elma
Salsa's Instagram. What I seen him do,
he took pickled jalapenños. He actually
like a full like pickled escape.
>> Okay. and he uh uh emulsified oil into
it to make it like a like salsa creosa.
Like a creamy salsa.
>> So, we're doing we're gonna just blend
up these jalapenos with oil is what
you're saying.
>> Yeah. But I think it's going to be
really good. Do you want to get some Can
you fill that with a little bit of
water?
>> Yeah, of course.
>> I just want to see where we're at cuz
the jalapenos, if you think about it,
it's just chili, salt, and acid. That's
what like a hot sauce is, right? Tabasco
is literally just chilies, vinegar, and
salt, but kind of strained. So, we're
going to try and just blend this up. See
where we get to. Oh,
I must start eating up a couple of these
tortillas. Start eating some tortillas
in there. I'll get it.
Whoa. No good.
We're getting yelled at. What?
What does she want? I [screaming] had a
pig skin. Okay. Is this going to be the
best salsa we ever had?
>> Probably not.
>> Definitely not. Okay. I'm [laughter] not
loving where this is going. I'm not
loving where this is going.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I think you kind of maybe
need more ingredients in it. Well, yeah.
Could we add
>> Why' you use
That's so crazy what I just did.
>> I thought that was for me, man.
>> It's the same taste. It's the same
taste. [laughter] I just I just I use
one spoon.
>> Over consumptive. anything.
>> Should we add like Is there like, you
know, maybe some salt or something that
we can
>> No, definitely doesn't need more salt.
Taste it. Oh,
>> okay. Well, you you had a spoon and then
>> I have an idea. Give me a tortilla.
>> Are [laughter] you going to put it in
there?
>> This is what you Okay. So, if you want
to like thicken a mole, you can use
stale bread. Use tortillas sometimes.
>> It's rough right now. It's rough right
now. It's rough right now.
>> I [clears throat] do think the tortilla
is going to help. Maybe a little bit of
dry at this point.
>> You just made like slightly chunky
jalapeno water. Sure. Yeah. And I can
see how with all the ingredients that I
put in there, that [laughter] is what
the result would be.
>> Here's the thing.
>> Juice from this and made
>> there's sort of no alchemy in cooking.
You know what I mean? Um it it's sort of
a a combination of its ingredients and
processes. [music]
>> And so we're we're not going to let that
stop us.
>> That was like in my nose somehow.
>> It's a little thicker now. You
>> try it? Yeah.
>> [laughter]
[snorts]
>> Yeah, it's just not what I want it to
be. Do [laughter] you think maybe I need
more tortilla? Do you need it warm?
>> I don't think so.
>> Okay,
>> we're going to Okay, what I'm going to
do is use the tortilla [laughter]
to thicken up the salsa.
>> Okay, so what you just tried it again,
>> but more cuz I think we got somewhere.
>> Okay, maybe. Did we? I think so.
>> I think so.
>> I don't know. It might have been worse.
It might have been better. I honestly
We're a little bit lost. We're lost in
the salsa right now. Um, we're going to
try one more thing. We're going to thick
it up with some tortilla.
>> Oh, I just burped. That was awful. I
know.
>> All I've had today is coffee and that.
>> Oh god.
>> And beans.
>> Okay, we're going to thicken this up.
We're going to strain it. Tortillas.
We're going to start filling and frying.
>> Yeah.
>> Which one? So, I was worried that this
was only a 5 minute stock, but because
we added all the chicken bones from the
rotisserie chickens, it's not um
it's kind of it's pretty flavorful. And
I added all the chicken jelly, so you
can do it. Stop.
I can you not act like that doesn't
work? Because that's like my favorite
thing in the kitchen, the bar. It's so
convenient.
>> So convenient.
That was not exaggerated at all. That
was my lived experience. That was real.
Excuse me. Oh my gosh.
>> How am I supposed to get stock out of
here when it's 80% chicken? [laughter]
>> I literally can't see any liquid in the
pot.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Do that.
>> Try try it. Is it good?
>> You see it? Why don't
>> you try [snorts] it?
>> I will.
>> Yeah. Let's get that going in there.
That looks nice.
>> What?
>> That looks nice.
>> Thank you. Many are saying this.
>> Okay, I'm going to add this to the bowl.
>> Got you, Taylor. [laughter]
Got you. I got a whole wheez.
All right.
Sound like that little penguin in Toy
Story 2.
Believe [laughter] his name is Whezzy.
>> Do you like cooking with me, too?
>> I feel trapped. I feel like no matter
what I say, it's going to be twisted and
used against me. You're just like my M.
Anyway, so what what are these
tortillas?
>> These are tortillas. You had a good idea
of steaming them because they were so
hard.
>> They were They were incredibly hard. And
uh fancy tortillas can also just be
delicious and soft. And so I don't know
why these are hard, but they are
incredibly organic.
>> They smell good.
>> Steamy and hard. Are we talking about my
my weekend
[laughter]
>> plans?
Sorry. Are you implying your your last
weekend was steamy and hard or this
upcoming one is going to be?
>> Can we go?
>> Cuz you you sound like you're going to
end. Okay. Trevor Well, Trevor's got a
steamy and hard weekend.
>> I don't like that.
>> Steam steamy and hard weekend.
>> Steamy and hard weekend.
>> Steamy and hard weekend.
That's exciting.
>> This has been a turn.
>> That's [laughter]
>> okay. I took the fish out of here.
>> This looks good. Can I taste it? I can't
taste it cuz then we're going to There's
not going to be enough for the tacos.
>> Okay. What if we just like
>> This looks really delicious.
>> Should we split this piece?
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Cuz I want to make sure that I salted
it.
I No, I think the the taco seasoning is
good.
>> The taco seasoning is good. A little bit
on there. Good. Like dark chili spice.
This is going to This is going to taste
really good. Yeah, I I like it.
>> I like cods the fish for tacos. We could
stretch the meat out and get more, but
>> remember Oh, I was going to tell the
viewers um remember
>> Hi viewers.
>> Remember that time that you brought in
the rockfish from Arowan?
>> Yes, that's right. So some days if we
don't have any catered lunch or family
meal planned in the kitchen, I will go
to arowana and I will get a pound of
lean animal flesh and uh sometimes a tub
of yogurt and I will eat that lean
animal flesh and the yogurt you see for
sustenance throughout the day. Many
times I get their cheapest ground
turkey. I was feeling fancy and I wanted
fish. I brought in locally caught
rockfish which was the cheapest
>> rockfish. I'm more of a jazz fish guy
myself.
>> This has been a Trevor. Yeah, that's
pretty good. No, I think we can all
agree that's pretty good. [laughter]
Anyways, it was rotten. It smelled up
the whole office. Disgusting. I still
ate it.
>> So bad.
>> I still ate it.
>> It was actually rotten.
>> Yes, I ate it all.
>> Somebody asked me yesterday, Josh, how's
your gut health?
>> Probably not very good.
>> I said fantastic. I tell you, I said
fantastic. I got a lot of critters down
there.
>> Who's asking you about your gut health?
>> I don't know. Someone did that recently.
It was someone in here.
>> Oh.
>> Um concerned.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This pineapple
salt is really good. Good job.
>> I say if you don't use it, you lose. Oh,
thank you. If you don't use it, you lose
it. You know, you got all the you got
all these bacteria in your gut
microbiome. Just begging begging to get
in little scuffles with other bacteria.
Get them down there, man.
>> That looks dude. Hey, killer.
>> I made four tacos. 50 bucks. What a
deal.
>> We Okay, so we're going to take some
tacos. I'm going to put Yeah, I did
that. A little dollop of cheese in the
tacos. And then we're going to take a
nice hefty spoonful of this meat and
pepper mixture. Wow, that is a hefty
spoonful. And then
>> Dude, I didn't try this. Have you tried
this?
>> Yeah, it's great.
>> Nice and spicy. And then we're going to
take this and we're just we're going to
fry this.
>> Yum.
>> How hot is that oil? Do you think? Do
you have a thermometer?
>> I do. It's right here. Allow me.
>> Check it out.
>> Oh, magnetized fan.
All right, get them in there, man. Well,
no. Here, we're going to fill We're
going to fire these in batches.
[laughter]
>> Yeah. What happened? That wasn't even
performative. That was just how my brain
goed.
>> Yeah. This is looking at round 275.
>> Can I tell you what happened with all
the stammering and yammering was concern
[music] because these I thought would
sort of stick together more,
>> but it's just going to be really
difficult. Do you have a slotted spatula
>> uh to sort of remove these cuz we're
going to do a very shallow fry on these?
>> I bet I could find it though. I bet I
can find it.
>> And we're going to do
>> I have a freaking idea.
>> Yeah. What's the idea?
>> Freaking idea, dude. No.
>> No more. No more this.
>> That's not good. What?
>> What do you want?
>> This. This. You fools.
Big big lot. A lot lot of them. So much.
So much. We're pivoting immediately.
We're doing an oven B. Oh, check this.
We're doing an airfried taco dorado
here. By air fry, I mean we're going to
put it in our oven that barely works.
>> Hold on. Hold on. Right. Question here.
I got to ask a question here. Is this
the first time in Mythical Kitchen
history that Josh has opted to put
something in the oven instead of frying
it? Instead of frying. Normally, it's
the other way around. Norally he's like,
"Hey, what if we just drop it in the
fryer?" How many times have I heard Josh
How many times have we heard Josh say,
"What if we just drop it in the fryer?"
And and sometimes it's just a slice of
cheese.
>> Dude, you just put it in oil. WHAT DO
YOU [laughter]
>> OH GOD. Old habits try so hard.
>> Typically, you would fry a taco dorado,
right? And you you could make a little
uh assembly line here, but I think we
can just lube each of these with oil.
Pop it in a hot oven at 450° for like 15
minutes.
>> Yeah, dude. I'm tracking.
>> Let's do that. Let's get an assembly
line going. I'm frying up a snack and
assembly line. Wait, who's where am I?
>> Get here. Check this out.
>> What part of the line am I? [laughter]
No more of that. Trevor, take Check this
out. Where's the Dollar Tree oil? Dollar
tree oil. Don't throw it cuz I got hot.
Okay, throw it. But make it high and
outside. There it is. Check this out.
>> Technique.
>> Are you sure?
>> Huh?
>> Are you sure?
>> Oh, Lily. I've never I've never seen the
future more clearly in my life.
[laughter]
>> Yeah, I know. I'm liking what's
happening here. You see what I'm saying?
I'm loving how you're just spreading the
oil bare hand on there.
>> Well, yeah, cuz you're going to get some
on this. That's frying off. What? You
you seem to be most of the line.
>> No. No. What's
>> as far as the assembly portion of this?
>> I can help. If you do not see this so
clearly. Yeah. So, what I'm gonna do is
I'm going to
>> A lot of eye statements happening here.
>> Sure. So, what we as a team are going to
do is I'm going to fill these and you
line them up here. Line them up here.
>> Line them up.
>> Line them up. You
>> want me to shingle them at all or kind
of
>> No. No. Try and try and not get not get
a lot of overlap on them. I think we're
going to get a full poll of 40 perfectly
cooked oven airfried tacos doradas. You
think we're going to get all 40?
>> I think we're getting all 40 in here.
>> Look, I think that we have the
ingredients to get all 40. I think like
our skill I'm I'm going to shoot I say
like 36. 36 feels like an achievable
number.
>> Well, we got to we we're really burning
some uh snack and taco here.
>> We Now it's a we statement. [laughter]
>> Now it's a we.
>> Victory has many fathers, but defeat is
an orphan.
Hey everyone, welcome back. Uh,
chicken's here in the pot with the sauce
and stuff. Oh yeah, Lily, get up on your
Can we get a step stool for Lily so she
can see inside the pot?
>> See inside the pot. It looks nice.
>> Yeah, it looks nice.
>> Chicken mush tastes nice, too. And
Lily's made what I am hearing word on
the street is a pretty tasty guac.
[laughter]
>> What's wrong with
>> Are you getting sick?
>> That was a laugh. God,
>> I'm heating up these tortillas. hard
sometimes to work with you.
>> Yeah, I know. I agree. It's not ideal.
>> Like working with yourself [laughter]
working with you.
>> Oh, see, I disagree. [snorts]
[clears throat]
>> I think I'm a joy to work with.
>> Even though you hate women,
>> dude. That's not funny.
>> Um,
>> it makes me so mad when you say that cuz
I don't.
>> If I was a man, would it be fine if I
said it?
>> How do you treat me? Should we assemble
these?
>> I don't know, man. It's like I thought I
was coming here to have fun with my
friend and cook some tacos and then you
just keep saying over and over again
that I hate women and I'm a misogynist
and it's just not even true.
>> You're getting teary eyed. I don't want
you to hate women. Like I
>> I don't That's the whole point is that I
don't and you're misrepresenting me in
front of all these people and it's like
I just I it's just not the truth.
>> It's true. Like when a woman PMS is
>> Can you stop talking for a second? Oh my
god. Can we just build the tacos?
>> How many? Okay, Lily, how many tacos do
you think we're going to get? This is a
large pot of chicken.
>> So, there's 70 tortillas in here.
>> I don't want to be a pessimist. I don't
think we're getting 70
>> because of the chicken amount.
>> Oh,
>> and maybe the way that you're scooping
out that guac like you need a charge.
>> I'm scooping the guac. Interesting.
>> You told me to double the guac.
>> I didn't say double. I said add a little
more. And you went in with a bigger
spoonful than you had the first time.
>> Off. Okay. Well, now that's You don't
have to.
>> Okay,
>> now I've handled the guac.
>> What you're doing here is interesting
because it's dollop, so it's like it's
like one bite of guac. I think maybe
I care about your presentation.
>> I just think Let's get a little cheese
and onions going on here.
>> Okay, you go. You
>> me. Okay, I'm just going to get a little
crumble. Is that What is that?
>> A nice little bite.
>> It's like a nice little bite.
>> And then like
>> Oh, just like a cup. Yeah, just like a
couple. And then like
>> just like a just like a like a just a
couple onions.
>> Yeah. Just like that.
>> Just like that.
>> Yeah.
>> And we'll finish that one.
>> Yeah. Later.
>> But we made a perfect one. So
>> we'll see you when we make a hundred.
[screaming]
>> I think we're going to harmonize.
>> Are we rolling?
>> Holy smokes, dude.
>> This is a lot of tacos that you guys
made. These kind of look equivalent cuz
you look at them and just go that's a
lot of tacos. But this is How many tacos
are here?
>> This is 70 tacos. We did it.
>> Chicken tinga tacos with like a fair
amount of chicken in there.
>> Mhm.
>> I mean five whole freaking chickens.
>> Also, I'm so shocked that you got guac
in each taco.
>> Yeah.
>> I saw you building them and I was like,
they're going to run out by taco 12. No,
we have 38 tacos dor somewhere in
between tacos dorados and tacos
salvapore which you would think would be
uh you know oxymoronic but somehow
they're very wet but also crispy. Um
bean salad and then Lily
>> give me 10 minutes to count the tacos.
>> Yes. Gotcha.
>> So
four
>> I thought you were going to do it out
loud. Do you want to do it out loud just
to check your math?
One,
three,
seven, eight.
>> Women in STEM. Look at that. We support.
Sorry. I'm sorry.
>> Why are we booing women in STEM?
>> It's pretty messy.
>> What the hell?
>> Should we try this? I mean, right off
the bat, this looks gorgeous. Lily,
yours look really incredible.
>> Thank you.
>> Did you have a lot of leftovers from
that?
>> Um, I just had some leftover pineapple
salsa.
>> Mine was pretty We pretty much used all
the stuff.
>> That's crazy,
>> dude. That's That's nuts out of line. We
had like a little bit of leftover steak
and meat. We ran out of tortillas. That
was a limiting factor. It was 38 instead
of 40 cuz I did eat one. That's my bad.
And then we lost one. It fell. It fell
off in the oven. You know, 5% lost. It's
not too bad. Should we start here?
>> And then go over.
>> It's okay. Lily, please.
>> Yum. So, these are the steak and cheese
crispy tacos. Dorado.
>> M.
M
m
salsa. Oh, you get extra salsa.
>> This is how I like tacos dorado. So,
like wet, right? You normally get like a
salsa hito mate on there. It's kind of
sitting there. It's soaking. What do you
guys think?
>> It's really nice. That
>> is a delicious treat. We were trying to
ration the steak and cheese a little
bit. Like, it's a great taco, dude. It's
filling. Honestly, the beans and corn on
top. Oh, sweetness, a little richness.
This salsa could have been way worse
than it is.
>> It's not. I like it.
>> You need that acidity on it.
>> Excuse me.
>> Mhm.
>> Now, if you gave me that taco and then
you asked me to guess what meat was
inside, it would never have got to take
them.
>> No.
>> Okay.
>> Do Do you mind?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Get fingered in there. I don't
think your fingers needed to go that
deep in your mouth. [laughter]
>> Look into the side profile there. I
don't touch me with that hand. E.
>> No.
>> I wish there was a secondary salsa on
it. Know the chicken tinka is already
kind of been sauced.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, but like
>> I wish we had of that.
>> It Well, technically we do.
>> M.
>> What a dude. M. Dude, that's real nice.
>> Mhm. That's a real taco party.
>> All jokes and Trevor Ever's bits aside,
this is like impressive and really
inspiring that you can spend $50 at
Walmart and make 70 of these tacos. 70
like good fresh real this I'm very happy
with what we were able to jerryrig
together from Dollar Tree right
>> but you're showing up to like a party
you're inviting friends over
>> like I'd serve this but that's cuz
people come in you know coming to my
house with a certain expectation of like
things aren't going to be quite right
you know in a way but go over here like
this is gorgeous
>> everything is it's like genuinely good
>> and we got the chicken stock
>> the chicken stock
>> we got chicken stock
>> for a drink
>> for a drink So many.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> So many things. Wow.
>> Like for real, when you're using
something like a pre-cooked rotisserie
chicken,
>> the worst is when the breast is dry,
right? So take that breast and like
rehydrate it. Use it. If you're using it
in a soup, if you're making like a saucy
brazed thing like chicken tinga,
>> make it wet.
[laughter]
>> Hot and steamy weekends.
>> Make that breast wet. Hot and steamy.
>> The steam implies hot,
>> but the steam does not imply hard, which
is why you specified hard and steamy.
And and it's funny because often times
steamed things are not hard.
>> No, it's not.
>> Steaming softens speaks to the hardness
to start if it could remain hard amidst
all the steam.
>> Amidst the steam.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Yep.
>> So, should we try those tacos or what's
going on now? These ones just I'm real
excited to try this fish here.
>> The tortillas.
>> Oh,
>> they're little
>> arrowan.
Pretty
>> do better.
>> Do better. Nothing's made me not want to
do better than somebody going do better.
It is cutting my mouth.
>> Yeah, the edges are are razor sharp. And
we did everything. We We grilled them.
We steamed them. I'm I'm like a little
worried.
>> It's good flavors.
>> Yeah.
I'm going to try the fish on it. And the
fish is great.
>> Yeah.
That said, amidst all three of these
tacos and price notwithstanding, this is
the best bite.
>> Yeah.
>> Wow.
>> I agree.
>> This is really incredible. Y'all
absolutely killed it. I mean, really
proving how far you can stretch $50 with
a little bit of ingenuity and thinking
outside of the box and then a lot of
just badass cookery out here. Um, we got
a lot of tacos. We got a lot of people
to eat the tacos. We did a little
impromptu TACO PARTY.
>> HEY, TACO PARTY.
>> HEY, SOMEONE PUT DADDY Yankee on on the
speakers. Hey, taco fiesta. More like
it. Am I right? Come on.
>> Come on. Rolling. That could be hot on
there.
Somersault across the burner.
>> Do you like it?
Eat it.
>> Eat it.
>> Eat it.
>> Come on. Get in there. What are you
eating?
>> Hey folks at home, make these tacos.
