- Hey everybody, this is Vic.

And today we're gonna be testing out four different

celebrity taco recipes to find out

which one is actually the best.

On today's line-up, we have recipes

from Danny Trejo, (air whoosh)

Aaron Sanchez, (air whoosh)

Eva Longoria, (air whoosh)

and the legendary Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo.

I measured out all the ingredients

exactly as each recipe stated

and I got three taco lovers

to choose their favorite taco in a blind taste test.

So, which celebrity has the best taco recipe?

Let's find out.

(air whoosh)

First up is Danny Trejo's carnitas tacos.

Danny starts out by oven roasting a pork shoulder

for approximately three hours

then roughly chopping it into little bits.

Then he puts it in a nonstick pan,

patting down with a spatula

until we achieve a beautiful golden brown.

Now, it's time to build.

First, we throw down our tortilla, a layer of carnitas,

some raw onions, some pickled onion,

then we garnish with a little bit of cilantro

and there you have it, Danny Trejo's carnita tacos.

- Okay this my tortilla, this is something

that we definitely use at my household.

I'm excited.

(upbeat music)

- The red onions are a nice touch.

- Yeah, this (bleep) is fire.

- I love the onion, it definitely gives it a nice kick

to it.

- This is what I'm talking about.

This is like the tacos you got on the street

after you've been like drinking a few beers or something.

- This is definitely more like taco truck taco

you get the full tortilla.

- I see my family cook these so this is really good.

- It's like home basically.

- I give it a thumbs up, this is really good.

(air whoosh)

- Next up is Aaron Sanchez,

he starts off by marinating skirt steak overnight

then generously seasoning with salt and pepper.

Then, he grills the skirt steak for approximately

five to six minutes on each side

until he achieves a beautiful medium rare.

(upbeat music)

Then, he takes his skirt steak out

and lets rest for approximately 10 minutes.

Now, it's sauce time.

Aaron starts by baking his tomatillo sauce ingredients

and he throws it in a blender to combine all the ingredients

into a beautiful tomatillo sauce.

Once his steak has rested, now it's time to chop it up

and start building our taco.

He starts off with two warm tortillas

then he puts two to three slices of the skirt steak

topped with a teaspoon of the tomatillo sauce,

some raw onions, then garnish with some cilantro

and some limes.

And there you have it, Aaron Sanchez's carne asada tacos.

- So, this one looks like it's presented nicely.

I can definitely see the tomatillo sauce on it.

- And salsa verde this looks like my taco for sure.

- Check this one out.

- I like the salsa, I'd love it if it were a little spicier.

- The steak is really good, sauce is really good,

it's like coming apart a lot.

- The meat is nice, the steak is really good,

and I'd just like more cilantro and onion for sure

to make it a taco taco.

- If it was on a scale of 1 to 10,

I'd go with like a 5 1/2.

- It was a decent taco, it's not the best,

but it's decent.

(air whoosh)

Next up is Eva Longoria's taco recipe.

She starts by putting together a guacamole

by dicing tomatoes and avocados.

Then, she finely chops white onion and fresh cilantro.

Then, Eva grabs her guac, adds salt and lemon juice

and stirs gently until combined.

Next, she takes her steak and seasons generously

with chili powder and salt.

Then, she oils her pan and cooks the steak

for five to six minutes per side

until she gets a nice medium rare.

Then, she thinly cuts her steak and sets it aside.

Ooh that juice, though.

Then, interestingly, she cuts her tortillas into squares.

Then, she throws them on a pan and warms them up

until we get a nice color.

And now it's time to build.

She adds a couple of pieces of steak,

chunky guac, and holds it all together with a toothpick.

And there you have it, Eva Longoria's tacos.

- Okay, this is such a cute little taco.

- Looks like something that probably

get like in a nice restaurant

and probably charge like 20 dollars for like a little

piece of taco. (cash register chime)

- Let's give it a try,

but let's take this off because I'm too clumsy.

(upbeat music)

- Simple ingredients but put together it's like really good.

- It's a great two biter taco, for sure.

I'd definitely ask for more.

- It's like a nice appetizer, toothpick through it,

that way everybody picks up individual taco portions,

it's good.

(air whooshing)

- And now the recipe you've all been waiting for,

Frida Kahlo's tacos.

She starts off by finely chopping serrano peppers

keeping the seeds in to make sure to bring the heat.

And then, Frida peels and seeds tomatoes and dices them.

(guitar music)

Then, in a nonstick pan, Frida combines butter,

onions, and the serrano chilies and our tomato mix.

Then, she lets the mixture cook for 10 minutes

until the tomatoes are thoroughly cooked.

Then, Frida adds shrimp and cooks until just heated through.

Frida starts your taco with a corn tortilla

adding the shrimp tomato chili mix on the top

garnish with cilantro and lime and it's ready to go.

- Damn, son.

This one looks good.

- It has some chili peppers in there.

I'm expecting a little bit of heat.

- I would like it if it had two tortillas for sure

because it's hard to pick up, but...

- Got a little bit of sweetness to it.

- I love that it's spicy.

It definitely has jalapenos, I can feel it.

- Looking at the shrimp, they are nice sized shrimp.

I would definitely say it's like the higher end

range restaurant.

- Yeah, I can have three of these, for sure.

It's a go. (giggles)

- It's all right.

(air whoosh)

- Which celebrity has the best tacos?

Time to pick our winner.

- Out of the four celebrity tacos,

my favorite probably has to be

the one with the purple onions.

The onions on this look like they're pickled really good.

If he didn't cook it with a machete

then that (bleep) ain't right.

- Out of these four celebrity recipes,

I'm going with the steak,

nicely done, perfect toppings on it

and it just tasted the best.

It does make sense.

I think she's done other things with food.

- Out of the four celebrity tacos,

my favorite one has to be the one with the toothpick

because it had the avocado, a small portion of the meat,

and it was just a two biter

that I can definitely not feel guilty of grabbing 10

or five whatever it is. (giggles)

Who is it?

Oh, okay.
