Today on this episode I want to revisit what carne asada means, as it relates to getting together. If you ever get invited to a carne asada consider yourself special. That event is seasoned and the experience would just make it taste better. I also want to tell you what this meat, or rather the saying, “carne asada” really means to me. How my experience moving to the United States helped shape how I see this meat and more importantly, how it has helped shape my life. Carne asada just makes everything better. _________________________________________________   TAQUOTE: “When life throws you a cow, make carne asada!”    Please subscribe <a href="http://www.tenthousandtacos.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.tenthousandtacos.com</a> or <a href="http://www.tacopodcast.com/">www.tacopodcast.com</a> - to our mailing list for the latest updates and follow us on:     <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/10ktacos/?hl=en">Instagram</a>  <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@10ktacos?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc"> TikTok</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/10ktacos">twitter</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/10ktacos/">Facebook</a>    Please let us know what you think of the show by sending us a note - <a href="mailto:comments@10ktacos.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">comments@10ktacos.com</a>

Taco Freakin Holders     Today on this episode we explore my opinion of taco holders. Not going to lie, I freakin hate them. I think taco holders are superfluous at best and colonial hierarchy at worst. But on this episode we’ll just focus on the good.   I tell you a quick story of how taco holders are like scheduling apps that don’t work if you are not going to deliver on what was promised.   I also flip the tortilla and tell you about a recent trip to Kansas City, Missouri. On this trip, my wife and I went to a highly recommended barbeque spot that served me two pork belly tacos made of flour tortillas and served on taco holders. In short, I was served……..  And it made me change my mind (just a little) about taco holders.     _________________________________________________     TAQUOTE: “There are tacos that delight the eye but don’t captivate the heart!”  Please subscribe <a href="http://www.tenthousandtacos.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.tenthousandtacos.com</a> or <a href="http://www.tacopodcast.com/">www.tacopodcast.com</a> - to our mailing list for the latest updates and follow us on:   <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/10ktacos/?hl=en">Instagram</a>  <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@10ktacos?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc"> TikTok</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/10ktacos">twitter</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/10ktacos/">Facebook</a>     Please let us know what you think of the show by sending us a note - <a href="mailto:comments@10ktacos.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">comments@10ktacos.com</a>

Sazon Finale

It that time of year! If you look around you, almost everywhere you go, you will see festive lights, crowds gathering at Christmas parks, packed ice rinks, and, of course, tons of suckers, I mean, people at shopping malls. Yes, the holiday season is in full swing!   But there is another season that is in full swing. A type of activity that involves tons of minutes of prep time. Perhaps tons of pair of hands and definitely tons of love, graciousness, and tons of gratitude.   The season I'm referring to is TAMALE Season! Most call it TAMALES! TAMALADAS "We're making tamales," to be more precise.   Making tamales around this time is special to a lot of people. It's a time to gather around in a small kitchen and spend the next several hours making tamales. And we're not talking making a dozen or two. We are talking big numbers here. In some cases, some people will make up to the hundreds.  TAQUOTE: “Tamales, just like their twin-the tortilla, have a deep rooted tradition and have helped get us to where we are now!”    Please subscribe <a href= "http://www.tenthousandtacos.com/">www.tenthousandtacos.com</a> or <a href="http://www.tacopodcast.com/">www.tacopodcast.com</a> - to our mailing list for the latest updates and be the first to be notified when we start offering newer merchandise – to help support the show.

Replay - Tamales Season

When I think of Mexican sports and athletes, I think of golfer Lorena Ochoa or boxer great Laura Serrano. Speaking of boxers, I think of Canelo Alvarez and Julio Cesar Chavez. I also think of the relationship Mexicans have with their futbol (soccer) greats. I don’t ever think of winter sports when it comes to Mexico and its athletes.     Today on the show, we speak to Regina Martinez. She is attempting to become the first Mexican woman to qualify for the winter Olympics in her sport, Cross Country Skiing. She’s also a medical doctor specializing in emergency medicine.   Regina joins us today from her current home of Miami. And she shares with us not just what she thinks about burritos being tacos, chile rellenos, and tips on how to stay grounded while chasing a dream.   TAQUOTE: “Never be afraid to ask a taquero for more chile”       If you want to send us a message, have an ideal guest suggestion, or even want to send us hate mail, <a href="https://www.tacopodcast.com/contact/">click here!</a>    LINKS   <a href= "https://www.reginamartinez.org/">Regina's website</a>   <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@doctor_regina">TikTok</a>   <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/doctor_regina/?hl=en">Instagram</a>   <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/ReginaMartinezSki">Facebook</a>
