My favorite Mexican dish ever and believe me when I say this. Last night I decided to surprise Jesse with a lovely dinner since he was in school ALL day. Plus, I get to eat my favorite tacos. This is my number one choice of dish every time we go out to eat to a Mexican restaurant. They are so full of flavor and if you’ve never had them I think you will love them too.
Enjoy!
Lets begin….
* After sauce has simmered for 5 minutes remove from heat and add meat (marinate for at least 30 minutes).
*Heat up 2 small tortillas per taco
*Add green or red salsa and horseradish
Answering a few questions:
-I used bouillon not cumin but you can use either or.
-Jenny- (you seemed so hyped girl, loved it!) The blurring of the camera is from my lens and a few setting change in my camera 
-After you simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, remove from heat and add meat. This is when you want to marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes). Then you sauté the onions until tender and this is when you add the meat so it can cook. I left it on low heat and covered for 45 minutes.
By the way, I AM SO SO HAPPY you guys loved this recipe. I’m so motivated to make more for you so you can see what delicious dishes I make at home.
XO,
Dulce Candy

Do you mean cumin or consome? I noticed your picture said cumin but I see consome. I want to make this but want to use exactly what you used. Can you do a recipe for the salsa you make, for example that green one you used for the tacos. They look soooo good!
That looks SO good. Right, i'm going make that
My mouth is watering….ummmm..

Hey Dulce….yea a half hour later, and I am still pouring over the details of your recipe..I also have a questions about the cumino…or is it the caldo de pollo…which one did you use? or did you use both?
Also what program do you use to blur out the area surrounding the subject? I need that haha!
and I just wanted to complement you awesome camera! In the picture of the pan with the sauce you see a droplet caught in midair I guess from it simmering and bubbling
lol…hey the military…attention to detail right? lol
and the sauteed onions is that before adding the sauce to the pan??? just checking….as you can tell I cannot wait to attempt this recipe!!!
THank you!!!
Ya I know what ur taking about they are the bomb I would know cause my parents have a catering business and thy make the best tacos ever. I'm from LA so when every you need catering.
yummy This looks very tasty, does this Mexican food?
I love this picture tutorial! But seems like it takes a very long time to cook everything! I guess it's worth it. hehe.
YUMMY.
Hey Dulce and Ladies…Can u PLEASE VOTE for Rene Aldana who is running for the Urban Decay Pocket Rocket Manhunt. It only takes a few seconds to vote. PLEASE VOTE..

Hi, wow! the pictures make me so hungry lol! I never tried ANY Mexican food before. I wanna try this (all thankz to you for the recipe). However, can I use beef instead of pork?
xoxo,
Katy
i love this! i think you should do it often.
hi! just stopping by to say congrats on becoming a blog of note and please follow my blog if you want at…
http://jenniferscavone.blogspot.com
thanks!
Yum!! Ive been craving homemade tacos! thank you so much dulce! =)
what kind of lens do you have on your camera to take this blur pictures? i want to get one! and what settings did you use for the blur?
quick question dulce. what do you mean when you say to "shred meat to smaller pieces and to serve without the sauce"?? do we drain the sauce out of the meat? or is the meat going to absorb the sauce? how do we shred it!
sorry for all the questions!
This makes me so hungry…I just want to reach into my computer screen, grab it, and stuff it in my mouth…lmao…looks so delicious =). You did a great job taking pics and explaining every step. You should film cooking vids on your 2nd channel!!! I would love to learn how to cook mexican food…my bf is mexican so he would love it. ^_^
OMG now I know how to make tacos al pastor, I'm mexican, I live in Mexico and of course I have eaten billions of tacos al pastor, but I have never tried to make them myself. I'm totally gonna try this recipe!!!, they look so yummy I almost went out to buy some (lol)… love love your blog!!!

To help Jenny out with the photography question:
The photos were taken with a very shallow depth of field – shots taken at an f-stop of 4-5 and an ISO of 200 will keep the food in focus while blurring out the background, keeping the attention on the food.
Or you can just use the macro setting on your camera to kind of cheat your way out of it
YUMMYYYY….!!!!!!
I just made that and it was yummy thank you…Can you please take a look at my blog- http://www.mimiimagines.blogspot.com/ and just give a shout out for it please

Thank you!
Thanks Sarah Alexander I very much appreciate that!!! The bf and I will check out our camera and play with the functions!
Hey Dulce, I was told by someone on u tube via a comment that I should check ur channel & vlog b/c we have so many similarities. It was on my room tour video and I thought it was kinda funny. (the walk in closet/bedroom I think is what made them think of u) lol.
Anyways, I am Mexican, also was in the Army, met my hubster there, and I have a little boy, plus I am also going to Fashion School. Weird huh? Anyways, love this recipe. Our family makes it differently but I'm going to try urs next week. Stop by my blog if you get the chance, and congrats on the baby boy! So exciting…
