Michelin Star Tacos - Tacos Califa d Leon Mexico City
Taqueria El CALIFA De LEON
MEXICO CITY
TACOS El CALIFA De LEON
- Tacos El Califa de León, a taco stand in Mexico City, won a Michelin star
- Its famous tortillas cost nearly $5 and go best with a Coke, according to the chef
- Michelin-star chef Arturo Rivera Martínez said the honor was 'neat' and 'cool'
Mexico City's Tacos El Califa de León has received a Michelin star, making it the only taco stand in the world to receive the coveted award from the French dining guide.
Not making a big fuss of the incredible honor, the tiny restaurant's main chef, Arturo Rivera Martínez, stood over his grill Wednesday searing meat for a horde of hungry customers as he's done for 20 years.
Asked how he felt about receiving the Michelin star Rivera Martínez said 'está chido ... está padre,' meaning:'It's neat, it's cool.'
Although Michelin representatives came Wednesday to present him with his well-deserved full-sleeved white chef's jacket, he didn't put it on. Not out of disrespect, but simply because his cooking area is tiny - 10 feet by 10 feet - and extremely hot.
Diners at the stand can only order tacos, and the meat inside comes from either a cow's rib, loin or fore shank.
The prices at the taco stand, however, are a lot more affordable with a huge taco costing nearly $5. Customers say the tacos there are the best, if not the cheapest, in the city.
El Califa de León has been around since 1968 and has been doing the same things that's made it so successful since the beginning.
Thousands of times a day, Rivera Martínez grabs a fresh, thinly sliced fillet of beef from a stack and slaps it on the 680 degree steel grill.
He then dashes a pinch of salt over the meat and squeezes half a lime on top before grabbing a soft piece of freshly rolled tortilla dough to heat it up on the grill.
Less than a minute later - he didn't share exactly how long because 'that's a secret' - he flips the beef, flips the tortilla and assembles it on the plate for the waiting customer.

Decadent Chocolate Cake Recipe - n Cupcakes
CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE
- 8oz plain flour
- 12½oz caster sugar
- 3oz Cocoa Powder
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 free-large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- ½ fl oz vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 250ml/9fl oz boiling water
For the chocolate ganache
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line two 20cm/8in sandwich tins.
For the cake, place all of the cake ingredients, except the boiling water, into a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, or electric whisk, beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.
Add the boiling water to the mixture, a little at a time, until smooth. (The cake mixture will now be very liquid.)
Divide the cake batter between the sandwich tins and bake in the oven for 25–35 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely, still in their tins, before icing.
For the chocolate icing, heat the chocolate and cream in a saucepan over a low heat until the chocolate melts. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk the mixture until smooth, glossy and thickened. Set aside to cool for 1–2 hours, or until thick enough to spread over the cake.
To assemble the cake, run a round-bladed knife around the inside of the cake tins to loosen the cakes. Carefully remove the cakes from the tins.
Spread a little chocolate icing over the top of one of the chocolate cakes, then carefully top with the other cake.
Transfer the cake to a serving plate and ice the cake all over with the chocolate icing, using a palette knife.

EASY BAKE SPONGE CAKE
INGREDIENTS :
- 6 eggs,
- 1 cup of wheat flour 450,
- 1/2 cup of potato flour,
- 1 cup granulated sugar,
- 1.5 tablespoons of vinegar,
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder,
- butter,
- breadcrumbs.
Preparation method:
- Before you dive into making the sponge cake, remember that all the ingredients should be at room temperature. Otherwise, they will not blend efficiently and produce a harmonious emulsion.
- Once the ingredients are at the correct temperature, you can begin. To start, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Gradually whip the whites, starting at the lowest mixer speed and slowly increasing the power. When the froth becomes stiff, start adding sugar, while consistently whipping.
- Mix the egg yolks, vinegar, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Then, combine this mixture with the whipped whites and blend again. Finally, add both sifted flours and stir until the ingredients unify. Grease the cake mold with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Bake the sponge cake on the middle rack of the oven for half an hour at 356 degrees Fahrenheit. After this time, allow the cake to cool before removing it from the pan.
