If you ever dreamed of seeing Brad Pitt making tortillas from scratch, your time has come. In a brilliant crossover of star power, culinary heat, and racing flair, Roberto Morales of Robe Grill teamed up with Chef Isaias Espinoza and the star-studded cast of the upcoming "F1" movie for an Instagram cooking showdown that's already breaking the internet.

Set in a warm, professional kitchen where laughter and competition took the front seat, this now-viral video captures everything you didn't know you needed, including tortillas, salsa, and a little chaos.

Tortilla Tossing and Salsa Showmanship

The video kicks off with Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon, Damson Idris, and the movie director Joseph Kosinski, splitting into two teams for a cooking game led by Morales and Espinoza. First up: making tortillas the old-fashioned way.

While the mood is playful, things heat up when Damson is asked to spice up the salsa with a splash of chiltepin (aka chile piquín, known for its fiery punch). That's when Brad Pitt drops the golden line: "I know my limitations, and that's one of them." But in classic Pitt fashion, he doesn't back down. Instead, he pivots and bites into a hefty piece of chicharrón like a true taco warrior.

Horchata vs Jamaica: The Great Divide

No Mexican feast is complete without the right drink, so naturally, the crew had to make a choice: Team Horchata or Team Agua de Jamaica. While fans expected a split decision, the cast delivered a surprising consensus: everyone sided with Horchata.

In one of the most hilarious moments, Brad Pitt takes on the task of slicing the meat. All seems well until his own muscle strength works against him. With a single, overly enthusiastic slice, he loses his grip and nearly sends the meat (and the meat holder) flying across the kitchen. Don't worry—everyone's okay. But the internet is definitely going to replay that one on a loop.

The Great Taco Build-Off: No Bugs Allowed

For the grand finale, the teams swap and face off in a Taco Build Challenge. The mission was to craft the best taco and win the honorary title of "Taco King or Queen."

Chef Espinoza offers chapulines (grasshoppers) as a topping, but Damson Idris doesn't hesitate: "Yeah, I'm going to pass on that." Not everyone's ready for the whole insect protein experience.

Still, the taco creativity was top-tier. Each creation had its own twist, from juicy meats to perfectly balanced salsas. But when it came to crowning a winner, the judges couldn't choose; it was a tie. Turns out, when you've got Robe Grill quality tortillas and F1-level dedication, everyone wins.

A Taste of Culture, Competition, and Cinema

This spicy, silly, and seriously entertaining cooking session is part of the promotional push for the highly anticipated "F1" movie, in which Brad Pitt takes the wheel. The video perfectly fuses food, fun, and film, showing off not just the culinary talents of Morales and Espinoza but also the cast's willingness to get messy and have a laugh.

Roberto Morales continues to be a cultural connector, bringing A-list names into the rich world of Mexican cuisine. And if this video hints at what the "F1" movie experience will be like, fans are in for a fast, flavorful ride.
