another beautiful day man in tucson are you ready for pecha ron i got my shirt on again okay i got my shirt on again [Music] and it's meant to be like a big guru with a lot of stuff in it karnasara usually and they put a different stuff inside but this location actually wraps the vegetarian in bacon so oh so the pecharon is not always bacon no it's not always making it's just basically it's just okay in this case it's going to be wrapped in bacon my name's alex alex yes how long have you been running this we've been running this business since 2013. okay yeah my family started it and yes so yeah we introduced the bacon raw burrito i believe in 2015 or 16. okay and yeah we've been making it since then awesome so these tortillas are straight from mexico okay that's like what makes them so delicious okay yeah we they bring them from our hometown oh so you're from there excuse me you're from ireland yes okay my family is from i am from and my brother who started the business is [Music] is so here whenever we make it we make it medium rare okay so that when we put it on the grill it finishes cooking and it gives that like hardness out of flavor you know here we put some shredded mozzarella cheese in it [Music] we cannot like change the way the ingredients are uh putting together so we start everything like meat onion wow and you saw how i put the turkey on the grill and we put the cheese here the the cheese like the winner the layering of ingredients is is special too right so whenever you take a bite of the burrito the cheese will be melted that's awesome tomatoes tomatoes and a bunch of avocado okay awesome if it's a small avocado probably one for burrito okay so yeah with the whole avocado yeah we make sure we put thick slices in it you can fill it whenever you buy it you can take a bite okay because they have mozzarella cheese and mayo you see it has just a little bit touch of mayo yeah so this is what gives it the flavor and that's the difference it makes from other burritos okay so banana wrap all the ingredients are set up yeah we go now and wrap it up oh that's pretty huge i know right it is huge all right okay now comes the bacon yes now comes the bacon i will say we use like probably five to six slices for burrito yeah like that so he's fully coated in bacon it's fully coated in bacon of course it's so delicious you would love it whenever you try it okay so this is the product almost done and then right now we put it in the grill so whenever you take a bite of the burrito it will be crispy you get all the goods inside the cheese the steak the monster though you cook it until the bacon is like crispy caramelized and brown [Music] oh man the bacon wrapped pecharon absolutely amazing it's that's at least a foot long a foot long in these massive tortillas straight from mexico carne asada goes in on that hot plate he adds on actually the touch that i really like is he adds on a half of like actually like a whole avocado right into it oh that's gonna melt into the buro with that bacon and so the final step is you just like completely just plasters it in bacon on the hot griddle and just gonna wait for all of that to sizzle all the way through on every side until it's caramelized and crispy and encased fully burrito encased vacant encased oh man my first time ever yes for the bacon-wrapped burrito never forget no never thought he will be [Music] so once the bacon sides to it starts to like tighten up you see how the cheese is like yeah you come out like everything but the but the bacon is sort of like yeah holding it in holding it together see that cheese yes oh wow oh wow okay i think this one's ready oh man it is huge it literally is a it's a foot long and it's like literally held together by the bacon it's held together by the bacon it's exploding and bulging with cheese and melted ingredients and the bacon is literally wrapped and like ribs like ribs holding it together okay we're gonna do one more yes we're gonna do the mixed burrito which is one of the popular ones too okay and what does that include so we start with grilled onions marinated also pasta so this is what basically gives the flavor to the inside oh man [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] now to the girl [Applause] [Music] so [Music] thank you very much absolutely awesome man good job oh thanks for me thank you now let's go try it it's heavy [Music] it is massive but typically they would slice it in half so it's easier to eat but we thought it would i mean when there's something this big in front of you wrapped in bacon i wanted to pick up the entire thing with two hands and bite it all the juices it's amazingly stable and sturdy okay let's do this man ready it smells so good too that bacon all right carlos oh wow oh that is insane there's so much going on but everything is working together okay you immediately taste the bacon but i also immediately taste the creaminess of the melted avocado and the melted cheese yeah such such a filling such a complete butter right here there's so many flavors the only thing is going on in your mouth it's amazing it's good it's amazing amazing the bacon is not overpowering but it's there and it's flavoring and it's like crispy and all just like the melted ingredients on the inside if you choose not to cut it you you don't have a choice to set it down you have to keep holding it or you have to like lean it wedge it onto your plate because we need to do a little bit of seasoning for the next bite a little i'll need to have a sprinkle of lime and that tortilla is amazing too [Music] oh wow yeah wow signature sauce yes yeah the creaminess of it [Music] the creaminess of it and then that like little smoky chili flavor to a chipotle to it and also with a squeeze of lime perfect counterbalancing the richness of all the meats it's like a baton no this one is okay so this one is pork mix of pork and then also um as well with everything oh carlos is exploding [Laughter] it really is truly amazing okay i'm going to season at the top i'll try the red chipotle fatter than that one no it's better this one's fatter ok no jalapeno wow the mix of adobada the mixed mixed burritos amazing group because we've got the two different textures of meat plus the the flavor the marinade of that adobata i think what's amazing is that that avocado is also one of the key ingredients that makes it the creaminess of it being melted within the burrito as it cooks as it sears on the hot plate this may be a failed move but i'm gonna try to break it oh you gotta the key is you have to break it in between slices of bacon that way it breaks off nicely nice and even oh yeah look at the inside of that [Music] actually they're both good the mixto is actually incredible though because you have that extra layer of flavor from the adobada marinade [Music] okay i'm getting down to the bottom you feel just the bacon oils and juices and meat juices just accumulating at the bottom melted avocado wow [Music] [Applause] yeah and this is a it's a serious burrito not only is it a serious bacon creation but that's a seriously sized burrito at least a foot long literally the type of burrito you would eat and you can't do anything else for the rest of the day or the rest of the week [Music] [Applause] wow that was a new burrito experience absolutely incredible that bacon just cases in encases all of the juices and just wraps it in this crunchy ultra flavorful crispy bacony torpedo insane and i can guarantee you you're gonna feel sluggish after that one but we're gonna go to the next place which is a food truck just down the road [Music] like it's a trailer home food truck it's called elote alfreda and this is so cool on the side of the road we're on 12th avenue again which is the ultimate mexican food street in tucson they do all sorts of elotes which is what exactly is an elote carlos uh it's similar to the yellow corn but it's more of a white corn so it's not as sweet as the american yellow corn and yes they do mayonnaise lime chili sauce and it's popular popular all over mexico i remember we had elotes in oaxaca there are different ways you can sometimes they grill it okay this is mostly just uh boiled in water to make it soft so it varies difference between mexico pipe this one is going to be boiled on a stick all the toppings come out the full corn on the cob which is boiled and then i think he adds some mexican cream as well as cheese all around so then it's on it poked on a stick so you could pick up the whole thing but where it really gets good is when you do your own dressing add your own seasoning we're going to have carlos show us how to do the seasoning my favorite valentina this is just the spicier spicier butter oh nice okay these are both valentina so i think we'll go with the spicy vanilla yes for sure um and then you can do this [Music] a little bit of salsa and you don't need much with this i mean it's already what do you think so this is uh chili this is just uh powdered chili yeah powdered chili this is natural powdered powdered chili they shouldn't be too spicy so it's gonna be mostly for flavor the flavor is gonna come from the rest of the things in there mayonnaise mexican quesos cremas and salt a little bit of salt here and that's good yup here we go this massive corn look how huge it is huge corn on the cob carlos you did get a good job seasoning [Applause] [Music] oh yeah oh the corn is hearty filling juicy you've got that creaminess i'm not sure if it's mayonnaise or like a mexican cream maybe a combination of both with the cheese with all those different salty seasonings the salsa the powdered chili oh yeah that's fantastic and it just gets over your entire face as soon as you take a bite oh the juiciness you can tell this is fresh or nothing you can tell the difference yes very fresh look at that it's so good so good yeah again like carlos said the freshness of the corn is i think what stands out about this place i mean they specialize in corn this place is amazing it's like this empty yard in the middle of tucson there's some old fridges and debris laying around there's this amazing old camper van camper van horn cart where they're selling the elotes prepared like this but actually it seems to be like really one of the main businesses here is the masa grinding the corn lots of people have come here filled up their buckets or filled up their pans full of the masa and continued on their way but the place is amazing do i need a tissue oh yeah always remember to wipe your mouth after you eat an elate cheese valentina hot sauce corn juice all over my face okay let's go to the next spot [Music] here we are next spot so next up on this food tour we're going to marimar which is on the corner of a neighborhood and a main road i love the colors bright green all handwritten hand painted so cool and they specialize in graspados as well as all sorts of different fruit salads and also variations of tostitos it's crab meat tostitos with meat locos okay okay so she's gonna make the tostitos locos which is made from tostitos the chips but it's dressed with all different sorts of toppings and salsas and so she's gonna make us demonstrate how to make a bag of toasty locos okay so cucumber goes in okay so that's tamarind peanuts peanuts [Applause] some more cannoli [Music] [Music] so a crazy crazy pineapple and it's served within an entire pineapple this is the tamarind goes in there peanuts yes [Music] [Music] is they take the whole half a pineapple they chop it up they put it back inside then she mixes on tamarind there's peanuts there's a bunch of chamoy on top which is a fermented plum salty plum which actually originates in china and so you'll you'll find that throughout asia as well the same flavor like a salty plum so that goes on top then she added in another layer of pineapple another layer of peanuts and tamarind then some tamarind and some chamomile like fruit leather goes on top and more chamoy sauce and then finishes it off with a chamoy straw that goes in that is a crazy pineapple okay uh mango mango [Music] annette is joining us because she's the snack lover yes i think we should start with the toasty it's like wet and juicy there's salsas and yet it's still crunchy and there's cucumbers in here you kind of kind of build a sandwich almost with all the different oh oh annette got a nice scoop she is an expert i'm going to go in her scooper spot right there that's nice pro that is a pro move okay i found some you want to scoop to the bottom oh yeah the tamarind the peanuts the cucumber all of that chamoy yeah so very traditional snacks to us mexicans this we love this every single day every single night or every weekend whenever we can get this next we get it it is really good salty for this bite add some of the valentina salsa oh yeah thank you that extra spice the flavor of the valentina and again with all those different textures it's amazing how the chips don't get soggy they just remain crunchy wet at the same time okay so this one is a lot of the the same toppings except mixed with in a pineapple so you just dive right into this try to poke up as much as you can making sure you've got a little bit of everything in a lot of the chamoy [Music] oh yeah the pineapple is cold yep so sweet it's nice and juicy and sweet and refreshing yeah yeah so sweet and then ollie's very very flavorful what's amazing is it looks like it's going to be crazy with so many different things going on and it is crazy with so many different things going on but they all go together it's sweet it's juicy it's sour it's salty it's everything in one in one harmony of a pineapple [Music] in fact the saltiness and those different candies and syrups almost bring out the flavor of the pineapple even more [Music] okay and then the final thing that i got is the raspado you can get all different flavors but it's mainly about that crushed ice right yeah what i like about pizzas was that they use fresh fruit ah okay so fresh fruit there's ice cream in here she layered it in i was gonna take off this cover but i think that might be a bad idea i think it will completely fall over because it's already melted a little bit so i think i need a straw actually incredibly refreshing i love the crunch of the ice the ice cream and the fresh fruits you really taste those strawberries in there too and if i take one more drink then we can kind of open the lid and we can spoon it get it we brought a pro when it comes to sweets we brought in ice cream we brought a lot of pros when it comes to sweets go for it [Laughter] i see some toasty locos on your cheek i like the strawberries you like the strawberries okay i'll try the mangoes oh yeah this is a family raspado oh it's amazingly creamy and refreshing and icy all at the same [Music] oh time coming up who's coming up from the booth [Music] come on micah oh my god after i ate that bacon wrapped burrito my stomach is protruding okay now this is family snacking [Music] it's amazing they've been sitting here for like 5-10 minutes and they're still crunchy [Music] by the time you get to the bottom here you almost need a fork to scoop everything on yeah it gets messy and [Music] that is extremely tasty and again so many things going on but everything working together [Music] okay oh man that was another amazing day of mexican food in tucson arizona again i think this
