I ordered alambres at my local Mexican place off the “authentic” page on the menu and I was in love instantly. It was served on top of 4 corn tortillas and had a side of the tastiest spicy tomatillo salsa. The bacon was big and chunky as were the peppers and onions and chicken was delish. I order it once s month now and I think the shrimp version is my favorite. I told all my friends about it too but sadly the place sold to new management shortly after ICE came to town and is now shut down :(
fuckin hell that looks good. just need someone to bring some beans and rice to fill it out and a bunch of beer and you have the makings of a great day.
I'm with you. Only a few dishes and a salty white crumbly cheese can be good, but if it's like street tacos or something? Blasphemy. Not even just on principle, but it literally tastes worse with it
Oh, then NOT BLASPHEMY!! And while bacon fat is indeed an excellent seasoning in its own, it is not the only one. I suppose it would be pretty hard to find a substitute that would keep the same flavor. Just omitting it entirely would not change the way the meal is prepared, however. In a pinch, I think just plain butter could work as a substitute.
A lot of the street taco vendors in Mexico have ones that pop up instead of down and they do a final sear on the near on the dome as well as heat up the tortillas. It's amazing especially for birria.
We research recipes because we like cooking and we bookmark recipes to try and the ever-expanding bookmark folder is a crippingly overwhelming problem of its own so now we can't enjoy cooking.
I took an approach of 'Eat everything in the place one by one to create a clean slate. Here is a list of foods you compiled for specific reasons you don't quite remember. When there is nothing left to eat, take this list shopping.' ...I have three eggs, two tomatoes, two packs of bacon and some hot dogs left. >.>

I just had that, but it was made pizza style with the tortillas on the bottom and used carnitas. Yummy!

This is more American than McDonalds, at the best is Tex-Mex food, but Mexican, come on!
Brockvegas
I’ve never seen a pan like that. What a fantastic idea 💡
Macetheace50
Does she have a link? Webpage?

Oh, so THAT'S a comal! Looks like something that wouldn't work properly on a conduction top, though :(

Digging straight in with the tortilla is the move!

I like wrapping up a stick of butter with a tortilla. Anything goes with tortilla

Unpopular opinion: mexican food is way better with little or no cheese
GasolineRain
I'm with you. Only a few dishes and a salty white crumbly cheese can be good, but if it's like street tacos or something? Blasphemy. Not even just on principle, but it literally tastes worse with it
CyanideBreathMint
Little is ideal if you can get it broiled to a crunchy golden texture
TheDoctorCrankenstein
Mexican is all about the peppers and spices and how it pairs with the meat.
If using cheese, omit the meat and just go veggie, much better flavor experience that way.
ImGoingToGoFallAsleepOnABench
IMO, depends on the cheese - asadero works wonders.
dripstone
is that a mexican wok?
Macetheace50
It's called a Cabilock Mexican Frying Pan.
But seriously, you can use a wok to do the samething.
dripstone
but my wok don't have that flat edge to keep things warm.
ThankYouForYourTime
Girl where did you get that pan bc I need to know

ThankYouForYourTime
Thank you. I need that shelf though, you got wok with shelf?
HaveANiceFace
Can't move stuff up to the side in a regular wok but a bowl works just fine
Macetheace50
The cooking heat is in the middle of a wok.
The food pushed up the walls is kept warm.
However, you can remove food from the wok to make room.
HaveANiceFace
Yeah it's basically the same thing but that extra shelf would be nice to have. I'll make due with my wok.
Macetheace50
Sure.
They come in everyone's price range.
From cheap to expensive,

From a quick Google search, this looks very close but probably isn't the same pan.

Man fuuuuuuuuuck international shipping, even on amazon. On the other hand I got more expensive pans than that... (It's like 25$ ish)
