- Jamie and I are having a fiesta for two today.
0:03
- Yay!
0:04
(Paula laughs)
0:06
- [Paula] So we're making all of the day's dishes
0:08
with a mouthwatering Mexican kick.
0:10
- Got a fiesta flavors.
0:12
- And first up, it's Jamie's yummy five layered taco dip.
0:16
That is gorgeous.
0:19
And then a roasted corn pepper and black bean salsa
0:22
that's just bursting with flavor.
0:24
- Y'all, great day in the morning.
0:26
- And we've got the crunchiest fish tacos,
0:30
smothered in a creamy remoulade sauce
0:32
and a sweet ravish coleslaw.
0:36
And then finally, it's the perfect sweet treat,
0:41
dessert quesadillas.
0:43
Don't miss our fiesta.
0:45
(upbeat music)
0:50
I think my children could eat Mexican
0:54
five nights out of seven nights a week.
0:57
- My wife would eat it eight nights a week.
0:58
- I know she would. So Mexican it is.
1:03
- Well, I'm making a five layer dip.
1:05
This is a Mexican pie.
1:06
- Yum, and we're gonna make a roasted corn, pepper
1:09
and black bean salsa.
1:11
And we're fixing a roast this off in the oven, y'all.
1:14
The fresh corn, the tomatoes and the poblano peppers.
1:18
- Just let line 'em up.
1:19
- Yeah, just line them up.
1:20
And then we're gonna throw them in a hot oven
1:23
just until they blister up.
1:25
Oh. - Yeah.
1:27
- Salsa is something that you can make at the house.
1:29
It is so good and I love to make it.
1:31
- All right, and then, son,
1:32
if you will finish cutting that corn off the cob,
1:37
I'm gonna heat our pan up.
1:40
I'm gonna get your dip going.
1:42
- Okay, if you would, mum.
1:43
- Some of the ingredients to your five layered dip.
1:46
- Well, we're gonna have some ground beef,
1:48
so if you wanna take a tablespoon of oil,
1:51
get it cooking in that pan.
1:53
And we're gonna add a pound of ground beef.
1:55
Okay. - And to that,
1:57
we're gonna to add,
1:59
you can use a prepackaged taco seasoning
2:01
that you can find at the store if you like,
2:03
but we made this up ourself.
2:04
It's got paprika and some cumin
2:07
and y'all know, fiesta flavors.
2:09
It's about a ounce and a quarter, mama.
2:11
So it's a whole packet or exactly what I've got up for you.
2:14
- [Paula] Okie dokie.
2:16
(upbeat music)
2:18
- [Jamie] I'ma get these in the oven.
2:19
- Okay.
2:22
This is gonna be very, very spicy.
2:27
I'm not gonna put every bit on.
2:29
- Okay, mom, while you got, what are you doing?
2:31
- I'm not doing nothing.
2:33
- [Jamie] Let me see that jar.
2:36
- It's empty.
2:39
- It's not too hot for you, mom.
2:41
Flavor. Would I ever steer you wrong?
2:45
- A couple of times you have, yes.
2:49
Yes. - Okay.
2:51
While you're doing that,
2:51
I've got some tortilla chips here.
2:53
- [Paula] Would you like me to grate the cheese?
2:56
- You go ahead and grate that if you'd like,
2:57
and I've got it. - Okie dokie.
2:58
- I'm gonna need a cup and a half of tortilla chips.
3:01
- Okay, how much of the cheese am I grating?
3:04
- You can't ever have too much cheese,
3:05
just keep grating.
3:06
You're so good at grating.
3:08
- Aren't I great? (both laughing)
3:12
- I've got about a cup and a half.
3:14
I'ma hold back some, mom, to put on the top of this.
3:17
- [Paula] Okay.
3:18
- For the rest, I'm gonna put in the bottom of our pan here.
3:23
- I'm gonna give our hamburger mead a stir.
3:26
- I need the meat on top of the chips.
3:28
But while you're doing that, I can go ahead.
3:29
I'm gonna cube out an avocado.
3:31
(upbeat music)
3:42
Hear our corn?
3:44
- I hear our corn. We got popcorn.
3:46
(both laughing)
3:48
Oh my goodness! Oh, that is some popping, come on.
3:52
(both laughing)
3:56
- It's a fiesta.
3:58
- Oh, wow! (laughs)
4:05
- Are you okay?
4:06
- Yes, it just scared the mess out of me.
4:12
All right, so our tomatoes
4:14
and our poblano peppers have blistered up,
4:18
corn's all popped
4:20
and it looks like you've got our avocado diced up.
4:23
Alright, son, do you wanna drain this
4:25
or do you want that little bit of...
4:26
- I'll take that little bit.
4:27
- Okay. Ooh, I love these kind of dips.
4:32
- Oh, it smells so good.
4:34
- Yum!
4:35
- Okay, now right on top of this,
4:35
I'm gonna put one cup of salsa.
4:39
About half of our container here.
4:42
- [Paula] All right, that's the color.
4:43
- This isn't about perfect measurements anyway.
4:47
This is however much you like, okay?
4:49
I'm gonna use just about a cup of sour cream.
4:54
- Yum!
4:55
- Now right on top of that,
4:56
I'm gonna put these chunks of avocados that we've done.
5:02
And I'll take some of that cheese now, mom.
5:04
- [Paula] Okay.
5:06
- [Jamie] This is the sixth item of our five layered dip.
5:09
- [Paula] Hmm, yum!
5:10
- [Jamie] We'll cover that whole thing.
5:11
- Now we're gonna stick this in the brawl.
5:12
And we're just gonna brawl it until the cheese melts, y'all.
5:15
We're not cooking it 'cause our ground beef is totally done
5:18
and we want our avocado still cold and firm,
5:21
but we want the cheese melted on top of it.
5:25
- Look how pretty this is.
5:26
- That is gorgeous.
5:28
- Now I'ma brawl it for about three to five minutes.
5:30
You don't wanna turn your back on it.
5:33
- Now, remember, y'all, when you're using the brawler,
5:36
you never brawl with the oven completely closed.
5:40
You always keep it cracked because brawl is very, very hot.
5:46
Mama. - Hmm, oh my goodness!
5:52
Wow! - Look how pretty that is.
5:56
- Why are you setting it so far away, son?
5:58
- Please, would you joined my fiesta?
6:00
- Yes, I'd love to come to your fiesta.
6:03
- We only have parties for two people.
6:05
- I've noticed.
6:06
- No matter what we do. It's always a party for two.
6:09
- What's up with that, do we not have any friends?
6:13
- Look at this chip that I have fixed myself.
6:15
Now what am I gonna do with that?
6:16
- Same thing I'm gonna do with this chip
6:18
that I fixed for me.
6:20
- Okay, after I take this bite,
6:21
I'm not gonna be able to talk.
6:22
So you're gonna have to ask everybody to come back.
6:23
- Mm. Mm, oh Jamie!
6:30
- Mm hmm?
6:31
- Hm hmm.
6:35
- That is very simple.
6:39
Jamie, Jamie. - This is so good.
6:42
Fresh avocados.
6:43
- Jamie made us having one heck of a fiesta today.
6:48
(indistinct)
6:49
- Coming up next;
6:50
crispy catfish tacos that are just overflowing with flavor.
6:54
Oh my goodness!
6:56
I don't know how I'm gonna get it in my mouth, Jamie.
6:58
And finally, it's a heavenly dessert, quesadilla.
7:01
Wait till y'all see what's underneath there.
7:06
I so hope y'all are enjoying the show.
7:09
And if you do.
7:11
Be sure to like, subscribe in the notification
7:14
bell so you'll never miss a video.
7:17
And we'll be right back after the break.
7:21
(upbeat music)
7:24
Hey, y'all, welcome back.
7:25
Jamie and I are having a fiesta for two today
7:29
and we're really having a good time,
7:32
nothing like being with your kids.
7:34
Well, the next thing up, kids, is fish tacos.
7:39
- [Jamie] Yum!
7:40
- Now my kids love, love, love fish tacos.
7:44
You can do them a couple of different ways,
7:47
you can grill your fish or brawl it or bake it or fry it.
7:52
Well, guess which way I have chosen to make our fish tacos?
7:56
- I don't know, mom, tell us.
7:58
- I'm gonna fry it.
7:59
- Oh!
8:00
- And I'm gonna make catfish strips.
8:04
- Well, I'm taking these peppers
8:05
that we've blistered in our tomatoes,
8:06
and I'm gonna be chopping all this up for our salsa.
8:09
- And I'm taking our catfish filets,
8:12
and I'm cutting them into strips
8:14
because you have to roll your taco up to eat it.
8:18
It's hard to roll up a big old piece of fish.
8:21
- Yeah, the first time I ever had a fish taco, mom,
8:23
is when Bobby and I went to just outside of Santa Cruz,
8:25
we stopped at a place and had fish tacos
8:28
and they are so good.
8:29
- Well, they really have become popular in recent years.
8:33
All right, now I'm gonna just salt our fish
8:37
because fish needs salting,
8:38
it's just not the same without the salt.
8:42
But I'm gonna mix up Cajun seasoning in
8:46
with my cornmeal mix.
8:49
So I just need enough
8:51
to just dredge the fish in not much.
8:56
And I'm gonna add about a tablespoon of my Cajun seasoning
9:05
and just mix that up
9:09
and then take my fish and just dunk it in there.
9:11
And because I'm not putting our fish in anything wet,
9:15
this is gonna have just a real light crust.
9:19
And how's it coming down there, son?
9:21
- Salsa is one of my favorite things to do at the house.
9:23
And you can buy a salsa but if you make it yourself,
9:25
you can make it any flavor you want,
9:27
it can be hotter or you can even make it sweet.
9:29
And what we're using today,
9:31
all these beautiful roasted vegetables
9:32
are gonna give it a really big flavor.
9:35
And some you can find in a bottle.
9:37
- Okay? So this is ready to go into the fryer, Jamie,
9:40
and we've got it preheated to 350 degrees.
9:44
And I'm using catfish because I love, love, love catfish.
9:49
Do you remember when your daddy moved us
9:51
to Warner Robbins for a little bit?
9:53
We were renting this house that had a little pond
9:55
and we had catfish three times a day.
9:59
I'd get up in the morning, go down the pond, catch the fish.
10:03
I loved every bite to those catfish.
10:05
All right, it's not gonna take this fish
10:08
very long to fry, y'all.
10:10
Look at that, it's already nice pale golden brown.
10:14
So when they come to the top and float,
10:16
they're gonna be ready for me to take 'em out.
10:19
All right, son, what can I help you with?
10:21
- I've got my tomatoes going here, mama,
10:22
if you would take one clove of garlic.
10:24
- [Paula] Okay, I will mix your garlic for you.
10:27
- Okay, I've got our scallions, our peppers,
10:30
our tomatoes and our corn.
10:31
Okay, there's your garlic. - You have the garlic?
10:33
Everything's going-
10:34
- And I have a feeling this catfish is floating.
10:38
We don't wanna overcook it so I'm gonna take this out.
10:43
Cut off my deep fryer.
10:47
- I'm gonna add our corn.
10:51
- And you can see, y'all,
10:52
by not tossing that in any wet ingredient,
10:57
that we just have a very, very light crust on it.
11:01
- Oh, those looks delicious.
11:02
- Don't they look yummy?
11:04
- Now look, mama, I've got a can of black beans
11:06
that I've washed and drained. - Good.
11:08
- And our dressing that I'm gonna put in here,
11:10
it's a quarter cup of oil, mom.
11:12
- Yeah. How about, do you need any help from me?
11:16
- No, mom, all I have to do is this.
11:18
The oil, or you can do, roll one of these.
11:21
- Okay.
11:22
- Lime juice. Two limes.
11:27
- Okie dokie.
11:28
I have to stick my fingers up in them
11:32
and break down that pulp, y'all.
11:35
'Cause I just don't have the strength any more.
11:39
And you girls that are around my age
11:40
y'all know what I'm talking about.
11:44
- Okay, mom, just a little bit of salt and pepper.
11:47
- Okie dokie.
11:48
- I'm gonna give that a turn and see.
11:50
- Okay.
11:52
(upbeat music)
11:56
Oh!
11:56
- Look how beautiful.
11:57
- Great, time of day. That looks delicious.
12:03
- Ain't that beautiful?
12:04
- Yes.
12:07
Mm, oh my gosh!
12:10
- Does it need salt or anything?
12:12
- Maybe a little bit more salt.
12:17
Yum, roasting off your vegetables first
12:20
just really makes those flavors pop.
12:24
Don't go anywhere because we're gonna gather up
12:27
all the things that we need to put these tacos together.
12:30
Don't miss our fiesta.
12:33
Coming up next, we're making a sweet radish coleslaw
12:37
and a remoulade sauce to spice up those fish tacos.
12:41
- This the best fish taco I've ever had.
12:43
- And later, a dessert quesadilla that's outta this world.
12:47
That is insane delicious.
12:53
I hope y'all are enjoying the show
12:55
and I want to hear from you.
12:56
Tell me what recipes or videos you'd like to see me
12:59
make by just leaving a short comment below.
13:03
Now, let's get back to the show, y'all.
13:06
(upbeat music)
13:09
Jamie, I am so ready to get to the entree of this meal.
13:12
- Me too, momma.
13:13
- This fiesta that we're having.
13:15
- I'ma make the coleslaw for it.
13:17
I'm doing a coleslaw radishes today.
13:18
- It's a purple radish.
13:20
- We got a purple, a white, a red and then kind of a-
13:23
- It's beautiful.
13:24
- Kind of a mixture, aren't these pretty?
13:25
- Beautiful. And we got our fish ready.
13:28
We've got our salsa.
13:30
Now I wanna make a little remoulade sauce to go on this
13:34
because we got to have some kind of condiment.
13:37
- I'm just washing those radishes off before I chop them up.
13:40
- Mm. I love radishes.
13:44
I want to try to plant some radishes.
13:47
- You might as well.
13:49
You got your chickens, you got the herb garden,
13:51
the vegetable garden.
13:53
When are you gonna open your roadside stand?
13:54
(Paula laughs)
13:56
Momma, in this coleslaw, I'm gonna just use...
14:00
I've got really thin sliced cabbage.
14:02
- Yeah, I noticed
14:03
that you're using the packaged angel hair cabbage
14:07
which I love.
14:08
- Yeah, you can't beat it, that's the good part.
14:10
- Now, I've got my garlic all minced up.
14:13
Now I'm gonna mince my green onions, three green onions,
14:17
and I'm gonna use the whole thing, y'all.
14:19
(upbeat music)
14:21
- I'm gonna do a half a cup, mama,
14:23
of really thinly sliced purple onion.
14:26
- Sounds delicious.
14:28
And I've got a little fresh dill
14:31
and I'm gonna put a little lemon juice
14:33
and it's really gonna compliment that catfish.
14:37
(upbeat music)
14:42
I'm gonna mince me up two teaspoons of fresh dill.
14:47
(upbeat music)
15:00
- Now the dressing for this,
15:02
I'm gonna use limes and honey,
15:04
as the only dressing that I'm gonna use here.
15:06
Ooh! That'll be good. - I'm gonna use the Juice
15:09
of two limes.
15:10
(upbeat music)
15:15
- Now I'm gonna add three teaspoons of lemon juice.
15:21
- [Jamie] Teaspoon of honey.
15:23
- And now I'm gonna add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
15:30
Make it a little tart.
15:32
- I'm gonna address this, mom.
15:34
- Okay.
15:36
And I'm gonna add an eight ounce container of sour cream.
15:42
- Look how light is coleslaw is.
15:43
- Oh, son, -
15:44
- And we want this to be light
15:45
we don't want it to be- - Yes.
15:47
No, we don't want it marinating.
15:49
- Too wet because you got your remoulade sauce.
15:51
- [Paula] Yes.
15:52
- A little salt and pepper in here.
15:57
- Oh, don't this look delicious?
16:00
- And little bit of pepper.
16:02
- It looks beautiful, Jamie,
16:03
and I don't know why this word comes to my head,
16:06
but it looks so organic and clean.
16:10
- Because it's not covered with two cups of mayonnaise.
16:12
(both laughing)
16:14
- All right, Jamie, looking good, son.
16:15
But let's move on down here and put together our tacos.
16:19
Yum! I don't know what to start with, Jamie.
16:22
- I'm gonna start with a piece of fish.
16:24
- I think I'm gonna start with two pieces of fish.
16:27
There we go. This is just gonna be deliciously good.
16:31
(upbeat music)
16:38
Oh my goodness!
16:39
I don't know how I'm gonna get it in my mouth, Jamie.
16:43
How are we gonna get this in our mouths?
16:47
- Hmm, I'm just gonna-
16:48
- This is not gonna be pretty.
16:50
Y'all might wanna close your eyes.
16:57
- That wasn't pretty.
16:59
- I don't get one, pretty, I warned ya.
17:01
- I got a big mouth, let me see.
17:04
- Great, damn it, Jamie, you've got a huge mouth.
17:09
(Paula laughs)
17:11
- Y'all, great day in the morning.
17:14
- And you know what sets this taco apart, y'all?
17:17
Is this wonderful slaw. It's totally unexpected.
17:21
- That catfish is delicious too.
17:23
- It's delicious.
17:24
Well, what are you gonna fix your mama for dessert?
17:26
- Grilled banana quesadillas.
17:28
Y'all don't wanna be late to this party.
17:29
- I'm in.

We're doing grilled banana quesadillas.

18:05
I've gotten some butter down in this cast iron pan,
18:07
and we'll put down a quesadilla
18:08
and as that's browning, mama, if you would,
18:10
we're gonna slice up a banana.
18:11
- Do you want it long ways or circle.
18:14
- Do it circle.
18:15
- Okay.
18:15
- I'm gonna put this all on one quesadilla
18:17
and then we're gonna put a top on it.
18:18
So it's not gonna be a folded quesadilla,
18:20
it's gonna be a whole quesadilla.
18:22
- Okay. All right, now, where do you want me to put them?
18:23
Just like that?
18:25
- That's right, just like, nah,
18:26
well, let's leave a little bit of room
18:28
'cause I'm gonna put chocolate on here
18:29
and I want it to get all melty.
18:30
- [Paula] Okay.
18:31
- Now, I'm gonna use three tablespoons of brown sugar.
18:35
We gotta have some seasoning in there.
18:39
A quarter of a teaspoon of cinnamon.
18:44
- Banana is my favorite fruit.
18:46
(upbeat music)
18:48
- I've got some chocolate chips.
18:50
You can cut these if you want to,
18:51
our pan's pretty hot, so I'm gonna leave them full.
18:53
And I'm just gonna sprinkle chocolate chips over there.
18:56
- I'm picking up what you putting down, Sonny boy.
18:59
- I knew it wouldn't take you long.
19:00
- Where's that butter gonna come in?
19:02
- I'll put butter on the bottom
19:03
I'm gonna go put butter on the top.
19:05
Brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle it.
19:09
- This is a good fiesta.
19:11
Put our top on it. - Okay.
19:14
- I'm gonna butter this and you can flip it.
19:15
- Okay.
19:21
- I sure would hate it if some brown sugar
19:22
and cinnamon wound up on this top.
19:24
- I would hate that myself.
19:26
Oops! (Paula laughs)
19:27
(upbeat music)
19:33
- All right, I'm gonna just put a little bit more butter
19:36
on that side and-
19:39
More sugar? - More sugar.
19:44
- And we're gonna just let 'em start to brown
19:47
and toast in that sugar.
19:50
- Smells so good already.
19:51
- The cinnamon smells incredible.
19:55
These shells can brown pretty quickly. So Ooh!
20:02
- We need a bigger spatula.
20:04
- Wait till y'all see what's underneath there.
20:07
(indistinct)
20:08
(upbeat music)
20:12
- Whoa!
20:15
Alrighty. - Let's do it.
20:17
Look at that. - Yeah.
20:19
- Dukey Lukey!
20:22
Whoa! - Look at that, man.
20:25
- You bad boy.
20:27
- I take after my mother.
20:28
- I need to spank you.
20:31
(upbeat music)
20:34
- This isn't my first fiesta?
20:36
(both laughing)
20:38
- Is not.
20:40
(upbeat music)
20:42
(indistinct)
20:43
Yes, yes, yes.
20:44
- Look at that, hmm, it's just...
20:48
- Yes.
20:50
Come on, Jamie.
20:53
It's gonna be pretty in my pile.
20:57
Oh my goodness!
20:59
- That looks beautiful.
21:01
- Yes it does. Now what an easy dessert is that to make?
21:06
- I don't know about y'all but my mama is always right.
21:12
Too hard to eat?
21:13
- Mm, hmm, real weird.
21:21
- Wow!
21:23
- That is insane delicious.
21:25
- It has gotten so crunchy.
21:27
- Uh huh! And smell that brown sugar.
21:31
Y'all frying it in sugar.
21:33
- It's awesome.
