>> HILAH: Hey dudes!
I am Hilah, and today on Hilah Cooking I have another special Taco Bell surprise for you.
We did a Mexican Pizza a while back and it was real popular, and then I was talking to
my friend from 1 Fine Cookie, and she does all these kinds of like crazy desserts and
just weird recipes that probably most people wouldn't ever try to make up, but she has
cracked the code on an another Taco Bell Specialty, so please welcome Jasmine!
>> JASMINE: Doritos!
Locos!
Tacos!
>> HILAH: That's what we're making.
>> HILAH: Okay, so first we're gonna to make our powder, but first, first.
>> JASMINE: First.
>> HILAH: Tequila shot?
>> JASMINE: Yes, please.
>> HILAH: Okey dokey.
>> JASMINE: Yes ma'am thank you.
>> HILAH: So this isn't really Mexican food, but . . .
>> JASMINE: It's imposter Mexican food.
>> HILAH: But we're making up for it, by drinking actual, real Mexican tequila.
So cheers!
>> JASMINE: Cheers.
Okay, I did have of that, ooof.
>> HILAH: [laughs] It's a sippin' tequila.
>> JASMINE: Oooof.
Okay, I am going to set that down.
We have in here tomato powder, green bell pepper, red bell pepper powder, onion and
garlic powder.
This is dehydrated cheese.
We have turmeric powder, ancho powder, and then the last one which this was kind of the
kicker that I felt made the big difference.
It was just some popcorn, nacho cheese seasoning.
I felt that when I was mixing it, it wasn't quite salty enough, and you know.
>> HILAH: Doritos have a lot of salt.
They need that salt.
[laughs] >> JASMINE: Like it or not it's very, very
salty, yeah, it's very salty for better or for worse, so we added a little bit of that
in, so.
. . >> HILAH: Colonel seasons.
>> JASMINE: Yeah, give you that cheesy goodness.
>> HILAH: Yeah, it is so good.
>> JASMINE: Yeah.
>> HILAH: So wholesome.
[laughs] All right, so I am just going to mix these together and the cheese powder,
you had to order to that online right?
>> JASMINE: I did, I had to order the cheese powder online, and you know, if you do have
trouble finding some of the dry ingredients, you can order those online as well, and the
great thing about this is you can save the rest in the bag, and you know, make more in
the future too.
>> HILAH: Doritos locos tacos anytime you want!
>> JASMINE: Forever!
>> HILAH: [laughs] Probably a terrible idea.
Okay, so this is a little lumpy, but I think it's okay.
I am going to taste it.
Hmmmm, that actually is remarkably like a Dorito.
A nacho cheese Dorito.
Nacho cheese extreme Dorito.
>> JASMINE: Whooooo!
>> HILAH: Whooooo!
>> JASMINE: Extreeeeem!
>> HILAH: Extreme Doritos!
Okay, so this is set up, so we'll just have to fry our tortilla shells now.
>> JASMINE: Yeah.
>> HILAH: Okay, awesome!
We've got our oil hot to like 350.
We're gonna fry some tortilla shells to make some crispy shells which I've never done before
so good thing you're here.
Don't screw it up.
>> JASMINE: Ohhhh.
Yep.
Okay, so basically you just lay it in, and once it kind of starts to fry a little, you
fold one side over and hold the spatula because you want it to have space, so otherwise where
is your filling?
Where is your meat filling going to go?
>> HILAH: Which is the important thing.
>> JASMINE: Yes, what is a Doritos locos taco without the meat?
>> HILAH: Yeah.
It's just a regular Doritos taco.
It's not even crazy.
[laughs] >> JASMINE: Its' only partly, it's only semi-unhealthy,
not fully, so . . . but I mean if you want to make this a little healthier, you really
could, you could go very light on the flavoring, and you could fill it with veggies and that
kind of thing or even grind your own meat.
>> HILAH: I totally got the pink slime meat because I am trying to be authentic Taco Bell
here.
>> JASMINE: Yes.
If you want to go authentic you can as well.
So, and I just flipped it over after one side cooked.
>> HILAH: And it's because you could tell like the bottom was starting to get hard.
>> JASMINE: Right and the top was a little floppy, so we flipped it over to make the
other side firm, and then what we do is just kind of drain it off for a couple of seconds.
See, like it's a little closed here, but that's okay.
You just toss it into.
>> HILAH: Inside and outside.
>> JASMINE: Sure!
Whatever tickles your fancy.
>> HILAH: Oh, my gosh, this is like loaded.
This is not just extreme . >> JASMINE: Well, then, yeah, shake it off
a little, use your fingers.
Get down in it, get dirty.
>> HILAH: But you want to do it while it's still kind of hot.
>> JASMINE: Right.
>> HILAH: Hot and wet.
>> JASMINE: Yeah, you know, sometimes I let it drip off a little more, but yeah, it can
get intense, so if, you know, if you don't want as much on then let it drain for a little
longer or, you know, shake off, or you can even pat dry if you want to get rid of the
oil.
Another healthy option is to bake them.
You can bake them in the oven and create the shell, and then just, you know, lightly coat
it with just a little touch of oil and then sprinkle on.
So you can.
. . >> HILAH: Oh, good, good.
I was going to ask about that.
>> JASMINE: [laughs] >> HILAH: So we just make it like a regular
taco?
>> JASMINE: Yeah, I mean just, whatever fillings you like.
If you're going for the standard Taco Bell filling, then it's ground beef, shredded lettuce,
tomatoes, and shredded cheese, but if, you know, if you're looking to do your healthy
spin at home, whatever you please, and that's the beauty of cooking at home, right?
All right, so fill it.
>> HILAH: Do you want that puffy one?
>> JASMINE: Yeah, I want the puffy one.
I have a thing for fat tacos.
>> HILAH: [laughs] >> JASMINE: Oh, my God!
>> HILAH: [laughs] >> JASMINE: Okay, that was not, that was actually
not intentional, so all right, and then.
. . >> HILAH: So I just use the same meat filling
that I use for my Mexican pizzas, so for anyone that wants to do that.
>> JASMINE: Yeah.
>> HILAH: That's how you get that recipe.
Oh, yeah, get our veggies on there, very important.
[laughs] >> JASMINE: Yes, got to get your nutritional
value in.
>> HILAH: I am just going to use my hands.
>> JASMINE: Yes.
>> HILAH: I washed them a couple of times.
>> JASMINE: I mean their tacos are meant to be, I washed my hands a few days ago.
That's good.
That's very good.
>> HILAH: [laughs] Trying to conserve water, so.
. . >> JASMINE: I brushed my teeth last month.
[laughs] >> HILAH: [laughs] So I am good.
>> JASMINE: Yeah, but that's beauty of tacos is use your fingers people, it's okay, life
goes on, you know?
>> HILAH: Amen sister!
>> JASMINE: Yeah, can we eat these?
>> HILAH: Oh, yeah, you want hot sauce ? >> JASMINE: Yes.
>> HILAH: I find Cholula is actually pretty similar to the Taco Bell packaged hot sauces.
>> JASMINE: I agree.
I agree, and my mother is Puerto Rican and we grew up with this in our household, so
I am not going to say "no."
All right, ready?
Count it down?
>> HILAH: Yeah.
You seriously did pound that shit.
>> JASMINE: Umm hmmm.
>> HILAH: Dude, this is [bleep] awesome!
>> JASMINE: This is my little.
. . >> HILAH: There you go.
There's how to make Doritos locos taco.
>> JASMINE: Ayyy Yayy Yayyy!
Or something like that.
>> HILAH: [laughs] Um, I am going to post the link to her blog post with the recipe
for the Doritos mixture which you could use just to make Doritos too if you wanted to.
>> JASMINE: Yep, I have.
I have, just slice it in fours and then fry it.
So . . . yeah.
>> HILAH: Homemade Doritos.
>> JASMINE: Awesome!
>> HILAH: So I will post that.
Thanks for watching.
If anybody makes this, and sends me a picture, you might get a special prize because I'd
be really impressed.
>> JASMINE: Ohhhh.
Can I get a prize?
>> HILAH: I am going to give you your prize later.
>> JASMINE: Yeahhhhhh.
>> HILAH: [laughs]
>> JASMINE: Cow tails.
[laughs] >> HILAH: Buttholes.
>> JASMINE: Whatever goes, yeah the cow butthole, whatever goes in there.
