0:28
first thing we're going to do is get
0:29
these potatoes ready and then we'll
0:32
stuff
0:34
them all right get a vegetable brush
0:37
we're going to clean these
0:41
up give them a good scrub to get all the
0:44
dirt off
0:55
what we're going to do is just take a
0:56
steak knife and we're going to drive
0:58
some holes through the
1:00
potatoes right on the
1:05
ends this will help get steam into the
1:08
potato and make it nice and fluffy on
1:11
the inside
1:16
and then what I'm going to do is take a
1:18
fork and poke some holes through the
1:21
potato lots of
1:24
them you want your potatoes
1:27
steam i'm going to do like four we're
1:30
going to turn it over and do four
1:35
more make sure you get it on in there
1:49
okay turn it over and get the other side
1:53
we're going to place these on our
1:54
sheetpan
2:06
now I've lined it with some parchment
2:08
paper or you can use foil if you want to
2:10
do
2:11
that and then what I'm going to do is
2:14
spray it with some cooking oil now I'm
2:16
just using avocado oil or you could even
2:19
use olive
2:21
oil spray some on there
2:27
and then I'll just take a pastry brush
2:29
and coat the potato with the
2:31
oil you don't need a lot on
2:36
there you'll get that skin nice and
2:41
crispy and then we're going to season
2:43
the potato with some salt if you want if
2:47
you want black pepper on there you can
2:49
do that also
2:55
and I'm just using some What is this
2:59
kosher salt kosher
3:03
salt
3:05
nice thick salt there give it a nice
3:08
crust on top of those
3:10
potatoes i've got my oven preheated at
3:14
425° we're going to bake these for 45
3:17
minutes to an hour you should be able to
3:20
take a like a steak knife poke it
3:23
through the skin of the potato and it
3:26
should feel nice and soft on the inside
3:28
and that'll let you know that they're
3:30
done i'll be
3:32
back we've got about 10 15 minutes left
3:36
on the potatoes in the oven i'm going to
3:38
go ahead and start making my taco meat
3:41
so I've got one pound of ground beef in
3:43
my skillet and I'm just going to break
3:45
it up start browning it up
3:49
just take your knife poke in it should
3:52
be nice and soft on the inside which it
3:54
is so we're going to let these rest and
3:56
finish up the meat
3:58
mixture when your ground beef is almost
4:01
browned up we're going to add
4:03
in diced onion it's about one
4:08
medium then we'll finish cooking up the
4:10
ground beef and softening down the onion
4:19
okay the ground beef is nice and browned
4:21
up and the onions softened down we're
4:23
going to go ahead and flavor the ground
4:24
beef with some taco flavoring now you
4:27
can use one packet of taco seasoning any
4:30
brand and flavor that you want and
4:32
flavor I mean like hot mild or medium i
4:36
have my own taco seasoning blend here

4:45
big big batch tacos there you go yeah he
4:50

4:53
of that and what's great about this is
4:54
that you can add whatever you want
4:57

4:59
it there's no additives no preservatives
5:02
to it at all there's three right
5:05
there oh y'all can y'all smell that oh
5:08

5:11
on the salt and the pepper when I make
5:14
my own taco seasoning that way I can add
5:16
what I
5:17
need so I'm going to add some
5:21
salt and some black
5:24

5:42
sauce going which will come together
5:45

5:48
quickly let's make that delicious creamy
5:51
cheese sauce i'm using 8 oz of Vita
5:57
cheese it comes in a block form right
6:01
here and we're going to melt this so
6:04
what I'm going to
6:06
do is
6:09
cut it into
6:12
cubes that way it won't melt
6:21
easier all right i'm just going to use a
6:23
medium
6:24
skillet we're going to place it on a
6:26
medium
6:29
heat there it is and start
6:36
all right we're going to break in the
6:44
cubes and then we're going to add in
6:47
about half a cup of shredded Mexican
6:52
cheese whatever you have
6:55
and then I'm going to add
6:59
in about 5 oz of some evaporated
7:04
milk it'll add a little sweetness to
7:12
it now I'm going to add a little bit of
7:14
seasoning to
7:16
it
7:20
cumin few pinches and little chili
7:26
powder i'm not going to add any salt
7:29

7:32
give it a taste here in a little bit
