Mexicans are known for “el recalentado”🥘 we have a party after the party just to eat the leftovers lol
Recalentado and “itacate” the packed leftovers the guest take after a party ☺️
After Christmas: recalentado
New year: recalentado
Rosca de reyes: mother effin recalentado
And the funny thing is that recalentado seems to taste even better than the day the meal was made haha
Me. Right now.
La buena vida, si o no?
@@jbgra2566 bc all the flavors been sitting n marinating 😋
Using vinegar for the pickled onions is one of the things that "only restaurants do" because its cheaper and faster. At home we do it with lemons (you know them as limes) we don't use vinegar unless we are in a pinch. Pickling the onions in lime with oregano and peppercorns is the most delicious thing ever. Ditch the vinegar and do a batch with lime.
Do u add water to it? I m curious abt your home making recipe
@@luciaz0113 No water! The juices of the onion will help, only use lime, a bit of salt.
This needs more likes
My dad loves onion with chile and lemon with salt uffff 10/10 in the morning with egg, ham and frijoles
I’ve done both ways and agree limes are best, however not always practical/cheap to juice about 6/8+? Limes to fill that canister. I think Vinegar is a good easy alternative to the lime flavorful version.
I’m Mexican and loving this!!
Two tips for beans: if you forgot to soak overnight (or you just don’t like that) you can boil some water and soak the beans in that hot water for like 30 minutes, throw that soak water out and then cook normally in clean water for an hour or in the pressure cooker for 30 to 40 min. The second tip is to not add the salt until after the cooking is done, this makes softer beans :)
A tip for poblano peppers: instead of roasting in the oven, burn them directly over the fire, making sure it’s black all over, then put them in a plastic bag to “sweat” for like 10 min. Removing the skin will then be even easier and as an added bonus, your house will smell delicious. Also poblano rajas, which are literally just these burnt poblano peppers cut into strips, make for another excellent meal prep item that can be added to many dishes to make them absolutely delicious
The bean tip is the method I've been using to cook beans for a while now and even my gran has adopted my method
Both tips are GOLDEN!!
Mi abuelita kind of style!!
Soy mexicana y no sabía lo de la sal y los frijoles 😅 gracias youtube
Pero estás de acuerdo conmigo en que no necesita tantos condimentos??? Frijoles, agua, epazote. Ya después los puedes sazonar de acuerdo a lo que quieras hacer. Paprika? Comino? Ni al caso.
if you add habaneros and pineapple to the onion on vinegar, you get a spicy and sweet combination with the onions that's just beyond delicious
Yeah he should've done the spicy sweet version which is bomb in every taco truck or taquería
I did this today; this was excellent advice, thank you
Omfg
Oooo sounds good! Might be good with mango too, but I'm not sure about pickled mango taste. We use pico de gallo made with mango and thinly sliced habaneros which is another great topping for tacos. Also pickled onion with lemon juice and thinly sliced habaneros(remove some seeds if you don't want it too spicy)
Sounds delicious as fuck
This is my kind of meal prep 👍 Thanks for having me on for the pickled onion segment!
ETHAAAAAAAAAN
At the beginning of this video i really though how cool it would be if ethan gave some tips since he is another mexican food enthusiast
I saw pickled onions in the thumbnail and immediately though, "Ethan should do a segment in this video, haha I wish"
And then it happened!!!
I always have a batch in my fridge!
Subbed cause of Ethan
How long does the pickling take?
Honestly this could be its own series. I would love Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Russian, German, etc. Food prep ideas. Because your cooking IQ is like 9001, I think it would be totally awesome. Either way I'll keep watching. :)
Love this series idea!!
That’s what I was thinking!! All of the different possibilities for different cuisines!
I would watch every episode !
@@Earthlybell So would I!!!

We have a rule to cook beans in Brazil… never add salt to the pot! That’ll mess up with the texture of the grain. The salt come after they are cooked and tender.
Same in Mexico, it was a happy accident
I came here to say this…from Guatemala. 😊
Same rule in Mexico.
Nop in my family for generations you add salt just a little bit and the flavor gets at the top.
Same rule in Honduras
As a proud Mexican, non of the recepies/meals were… correct in a Mexican perspective? But they still look pretty darn good! You got the spirit and that’s all that matters, great video! :D
For me, it's an insult he dares to say those things are mexican. That's white stuff mixed with beans and maseca. And, if you're real mexican, then you know what really the maseca is
🤮
I agree, I would love to try those black beans, probably not adding paprika…. But I loved the video!
None* perro
@@habibifather7681 leave him alone, perro macabro
Bro, I feel like more food snobs need to adopt your attitude. “Not authentic, but still looks great!”
We love the versatility of the Mexican ingredients gives us. How about a meal prep video for Asian inspired dishes?!
Yes pls
Plus you can do both because the flavors fuse so well many items could be used in dishes for both cuisines, an Asian inspired video would be awesome
Maybe thai or vietnamese?
If you go back in his archives he has a few videos like that
plllzzzz
Mike, I'm dying here. No food tuber I follow has yet to explore Ethiopian cuisine. Please make my dreams come ture and give us your take on Ethiopian food. I love you and all that you do.
love Ethiopian food but I certainly don't have enough knowledge on that cuisine at this point to do a full video breakdown. Maybe one day!
@@ProHomeCooks I look forward to that day. It's our favorite tied with Japanese in this house. Be well, stay safe.
Ah yeah. There's an Etheopian restaurant in Lyon (France) near where I live... It's great.
@@Flyingjaffacake il s'appelle comment ?
@@kyllianholder Messob. Dans le 6ème. Ils ont les rouleaux d'un type de pain/crêpe qu'il faut déchirer et utiliser pour manger les sauces, haricots etc.
As mexican: I'm impressed with how accurate the beans are like, that's exactly it (the spices are the novelty which sounds awesome) but if you want a bit of a more rural mexico taste look for herbs, epazote if you can find it or oregano, even rosemary, you add it when you are sizzling the onions and it will be just classic Veracruz style.
(And that's more a gringa than a quesadilla)
Gringa needs carne al pastor though
@@Fr0zzer depends of where in Mexico
Con pura sal alv
Yeah I left a comment saying the same thing about the gringa vs quesadilla thing haha. It’s seems most people see a tortilla and cheese and assume it’s a quesadilla, and don’t get me started on the “quesadillas” from Mexico City xD
It’s not a gringa or quesadilla - it’s just a Frankenstein concoction. The whole thing seemed promising and then he just slapped the least appetizing and nonsense combination of ingredients possible: white meat with what looks like zucchini and beans and cheese??? Also, that chipotle Mayo thing, another bastardized gringo palate concoction - I don’t know a specific recipe but what you’re looking for in a creamy element might be achieved with a peanut salsa that I’ve had in many steak taco restaurants in Mexico. It looks similar a similar earthy tone but probably a little stronger in a reddish color, and with a creamier texture that has a slight coarseness from the peanuts. Heck, I even remember having some sort of tuna appetizer in a California pizza kitchen and they had a similar spicy peanut thing that tasted quite good, but it was more of a dip than a salsa, and it had a much less complex and interesting flavor than the Mexican peanut salsa I suggested (while still being a much better realized idea than the watery Mayo chipotle concoction in this video).
As a Mexican I can say that most of the recipes shown here aren't very authentic but they do look good 👍. In Mexico it's a sin to use canned tomatoes for salsa but I understand it saves cooking time. Thanks for the recipes! 😀
Not to mention using sugar ?!?! My great grandma is rolling in her grave
@@eddiesizer really? Both sugar and canned tomatoes are usually used here in Argentina
Canned tomatoes are too expensive in mexico in comparison to fresh ones
@@danigrumbles520 I can assure you that the mexican food he is trying is not a real mexican food, and yes, we do NOT use any canned tomates and sugar at all.
My abuelita would beat this kid with her chancla for using Chili powder on his frijoles - this guy put chili powder 🤦♂️ use a couple of fresh jalapeño peppers if you want a bit of a spicy flavor.
As a Mexican myself, you did a great job by not putting any salt at the beginning. That way, you get really spongy and delicious beans. If you had done it otherwise, you'd have been left with harder than normal beans.
Also, you can freeze your made leftover tortillas. That way, when you need them, you can just heat them in a pan and you're ready to go~.
Nice video! ✨
this is an old ranch myth, and completely wrong. adding salt from the beginning not only will make the beans softer, it will also help them absorb seasoning instead of just water. This doesn't really matter if you are making refried beans and plan to use the cooking liquid, but it will make much better whole beans.
@@ogarza3 might work in a pressure cooker but without one you will get harder beans no matter how long you cook them if add the salt first, especially if they weren't soaked first
@@jamesredfield555 nope, 100% wrong
@@ogarza3 ok buddy ur right, difference is i actually cook them
@@jamesredfield555 I have always cooked my beans with salt from the beginning and my beans cook perfectly soft. They are so creamy when I mash them too. This is literally the first time in my life I’m hearing this about salt at the end. My Mexican mom cooks everything from scratch and she’s never waited to add the salt at the end. In fact I feel my beans are ruined if I don’t put enough salt and the beans are bland when cooked. They just don’t taste the same anymore even if I add salt later.
Props for including Ethan Chlebowski in your video. Love seeing his channel grow. Highly recommend you check out the rest of his content if you haven't already!
Ethan is amazing! He has such a good channel.
I had time to watch Ethan's new video or this one. Didn't know I was getting a twofer.
Great channel loaded with cooking knowledge! go follow Ethan!
why are we all watching the same channels? :-)
For the poblano peppers you can put them directly on the fire after brushing them with olive oil, when they turn black, remove them from the heat and put them in a plastic bag for 5 minutes, then you can easily peel them. I use them regularly for various dishes and that is the method passed from generation to generation in Mexican cuisine.
Hello. I'm a Mexican and an every day cook for my family. I've cooked literally all my life. I'm afraid to say this is NOT Mexican food. Either way, it looks interesting. These are fun and sparkling interpretations of our recipies, of course, based on tortillas. I will give these versions a try!
You do know a lot of mexican cuisine, im proud of that, love your vids! on the pickled onions we use some peppercorns and dried bay leaves to get more flavor, but is optional! Greetings from Yucatán!
Saca los tacos de cochinita pibil!!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
thanks for the tips!
Pero jajaja le dice nada a la harina en lugar de a la preparación final 🤣
I miss Josh but I have mad respect for the direction you've gone with the channel and the quality of your videos
Miss you too
@@YOUENJOYLIFE when he was introducing the guest. I 100% thought it was gonna be you. Since you made a video on the topic right before you left.
I love seeing other people's take on Mexican food. It's extremely honoring and I hope to see more videos on Mexican food :)
it's so satisfying
My life changed when I discovered pickled red onions, there's a permanent jar in my fridge all the time now. I've tried a few different vinegars and my favorite is apple cider. I also add whole peppercorns and coriander to the jar for aromatics.
They are great over fried green plantain chips. Yum! Those are sold all over the streets of Honduras
I'm Mexican and I approved. Perfect example had our first gathering this weekend after a year and I made barbacoa, rice, beans, red and green salsa. Saturday we had chilaquiles for breakfast, leftover tacos for lunch, egg scramble with salsa for dinner, Sunday chilaquiles again but different sauce, lunch beans and rice with naan avocado toast, and dinner barbacoa quesadillas with a side salad and sauce to dip. Love it!
This guy has literally taught me so much, love this channel
Dio!
Great Chile Yogurt sauce! My Ukrainian wife says it's the best sauce ever... BTW, I'm an American from CA who's been living Ukraine for ten years and since we got married 6 years ago, I have introducing my wife and her parents to Mexican food. My wife is basically an expert now at making flour tortillas!
Hope you’re okay right now.
I'm mexican and I've watched the video with my mom, it was funny because she was all grumpy because "those huevos rancheros don't have salsa" and "the salsa should be spicier" haha
It's a good take on mexican food, thanks!!
Hahaha I had that same thought!...Like, dónde está la salsa eso es solo un taco de huevo estrellado!
Same! I can ignore the over-enunciation of a silent h but I’m like huevos rancheros? ¿Por donde?
Well I’m with your mom. It was a good video and good tips but it bothers me when people who are cooking them the food don’t even bother learning how to pronounce the name of the food they’re cooking. “Juevos” rancheros. 😱 me muero!
lol me too, my mom's like azúcar en la salsa y tomates de lata? that's catsup
You know what I have realised early in my cooking career? Just do what this man tells you to do
No
When you're lazy? Sir, I do not think you are ever lazy. Respect.
If this is him lazy, i wanna see him be not lazy lmao
Well, I just made all of them for my meal tonight. The sauce was awesome & also the best salsa I've made. I ran out of onions & cilantro before I got to the slaw, but it was still pretty tasty. First time I've used dry beans & also the first time I've made tortillas from scratch. Needless to say, I will be making many more meals from this channel! So very tasty!!!
🎊 mate I have a (Mystery Box) package for you, Text the above username for acknowledgment.
Dude I am mexican and even I learn some tricks here. I will try somethin of this to mix with my food.
I’m obsessed with this guys channel. I am so happy I randomly found this. He needs his own show on food network!!! Everyone can benefit from him. Love this!!! Just started growing my own herbs and veggies so I’m hoping to never rely on a grocery store for too much. Thank u so much for sharing your knowledge and recipes
he had a mtv show
Mexican cuisine reigns supreme! Also, that digital train time sign above you door is awesome!
As a Mexican I'm actually impressed by your tortilla making skills.
Most of the recipes would call them Mexican inspired, 7/10.
You should try making "frijoles refritos" to step up your bean game, its basically cooked beans fried in lard/oil, and even better, add chorizo.
P.S Please look for real "Huevos rancheros"
I'm Puertorican and a big fan of mexican cuisine. Definitively Mexican inspired. La Capital on youtube is a Great Mexican food channel and Taco Chronicles in Netflix is a banger.
those huevo rancheros where insane and not in a good way, im sure they tasted great but in no way where they huevos rancheros
Indeed those huevos rancheros and that "quesadilla" made me cringe. That is TEX mex. But the cilantro chipotle sauce IS good. Not for real Mexican food, but nice tasting.
@@marleneg.7128 yeah it did seem pretty good, you can replace the yogurt with crema and it would be a bit more legit Mexican
@@antonio_a87 I did like the yogurt option though because it gave it a good acidity, if you can't get REAL crema, because store bought is not as good. Using it for fish tacos today
Hey great video!
For a twist to pickled red onions my family tends to add shredded habanero and dry oregano and it tastes so much better!
Also for the chile poblano you can put it in a bag after they are cooked and the steam helps the skin to peel faster
Hope that helps :)
Did I just watch this video about 5 times? So inspiring you are! Thank you!
I have never watched a meal video and actually stopped to go make one of the recipes. I did for the Chipotle Yogurt Sauce! As a Mexican American who has been making home salsa for years, This was a take on salsa that I had never hear of or tried and it was AMAZING!!! Great job!!!!
It's similar except for the yoghurt to the classic salsa in tacos baja those are fish tacos from the north of mexico if you haven't try them there are really good recipes if you speak spanish la capital have a good one
I skipped the yogurt and Mayo and was lazy af and just used Crema mexicano, way easier and just as delicious 🤤 aaaaand I don’t usually have greek yogurt but I always have crema on hand
I'm Mexican-american and was very inspired to do that yogurt sauce. I don't like Chipotle and will use Chile (dry) Morita. milder sweeter version of chipotle.
I did the same. Paused it and made the onions!
I love this focus on meal prep. You gave me a great tip/inspiration to rethink meal prep outside of making one big meal, rather making components. I feel like my fridge is a salad bar now which is great!
I feel like you. I used to prepare 4 or 5 "finished" dishes and then get bored midweek. Now I do a similar thing as shown here, prepare a few "elements" and mix and match. For example, during the colder seasons, I roast a few vegetables (sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, turnips, bell peppers, or carrots) make some of stew that I can eat as is or use to top polenta, mashed potatoes, or rice with, cook a couple of grains (rice, couscous, quinoa are favorites) and at least one kind of bean (chickpeas, lentils, black beans) and prepare a couple of sauces with different flavor profiles (yogurt and cilantro, sesame ginger, masala-inspired, etc.) and 2-3 proteins that I keep very neutrally-seasoned (chicken breasts or thighs, steak, pulled pork, ground beef browned with onions) Then, during the week, I mix and match to make salads, omelettes, Buddha bowls, lettuce wraps, stuffed avocados or peppers, ripe plantain or zucchini boats...having a variety of sauces, vinaigrettes, and "vessels" is important because they fool me into thinking that the same couscous-Brussels sprouts-pulled pork combo (for example) is a completely different meal if I drizzle a chipotle sauce on top or a lemony "Greek" vinaigrette or if I wrap it in lettuce leaves vs. stuffing it inside a potato and broil it.
I can't stop watching your videos. I'm so inspired by everything from your kitchen organisation to your food prep and your recipes. Awesome work, man!
These have to be the best cooking videos on the internet, he covers so many cuisines and topics. I’ve been making a version of that chipotle yogurt sauce with sour cream, and it’s delicious. Have to try the rest of this
I'm happy to inform you that steak torta is a thing, we call it "torta de bistec". But of course, your version is like a fancy take on it jajaja.
Now I know what I'm prepping this weekend and eating all of next week!
I love when people appreciate Mexican flavors. This is such a good video and I plan on making all of these recipes. The beans and tortillas are such a nostalgic combo for me. I remember going into my grandmas kitchen in the morning and eating the beast bean tacos with homemade salsa. So simple and so good.
Hey mike, Brazilians eat black beans as a base of their meals (with rice) and we often use bay leafs as flavouring together with onions and garlic. we cook it in pressure together with the beans and save it for later (when we'll eat it we boil it a little with the garlic and onion to finish the flavouring).
First time seeing someone cooking black beans made me happy as they made part of my childhood.
when my mom makes salsa she uses fresh tomatoes and cooks them along with the chilis (wrap them in foil so the liquid doesn't get all over). you can also use jalapenos instead of poblanos if you want it spicy
o serranos xD
Love the way you put all this together! Mexican food is one of our favorites because of the versatility of building different meals that all use the same ingredients... Think about it a taco, burrito, chalupa, flauta, enchilada and chimichanga all are made of the same ingredients, just prepared a bit different! Brillient!
Actually not, the thing they share in common is tortilla, but you need to make different preparations apart from tortillas to complement the dishes. Plus chimichangas an burritos use flour tortillas, not corn. I think the "oversimplification" of Mexican food is actually a very American thing to do
Half the things you mentioned aren’t even Mexican lmao
My family is loving Mexican week. The chipotle yogurt, pickled onions, and homemade tortilla recipes are awesome and make it so easy to throw meals together. Thanks for sharing.
I have made this all a half dozen times. I love this video and often come back to it. Just want to let you know how much I appreciate it.
Two things:
1. I love that you and Ethan keep collaborating off and on. You are both awesome cooks!
2. I really shouldn't watch these videos before going to work because now I'm hungry!
Being Mexican bro, I give you two thumbs up 👍👍 👌excellent job I might add!!
As a fellow Mexican I like and enjoy the fact that he really keeps things authentic and doesn't really mix things up and add so many unnecessary things
Bruh, when have you eaten a quesadilla or huevos rancheros that looked like the ones he made. I’m sure they taste aight but authentic it is not
I think I’ve watched this like 10 times now. I ended up finding your videos because I’m trying to meal prep and yours popped up! This was in the recommended. I’ve watched several of your videos now but I’ve come back to this one so much. We went out last night and bought a lot of this stuff (stuff for chipotle yogurt, red onions, and beans) and am looking forward to eating good this week!! Thank you for your videos - they are beautifully done and satisfying. I had lost my passion for cooking for a while but I am actually excited to make all this stuff!! Thanks again 😊
I’m obsessed with these meal prep/ingredients prep videos
Some recomendations?
This is probably the best meal prep video I have ever seen. Don’t you just love the texture of raw corn tortillas? I am going to watch this again and make most of this. Thanks a million for this. How about an Italian meal prep on a budget? You can do it. I believe in you! 😋
Raw?? I heard Americans eat tortilla raw. Please don’t tell me you’re on of those
@@fcplop98 what?? No!! I said texture, not taste! I like the feel of the dough when I am working with it lol. I like the feel of silk too, but I don’t eat it..🤣
They may have said it already, but “masa” is the name of the whole final mixture. That is just corn flour, but they process it to get it to that point. In the center of Mexico they just grind the corn with water and it comes out kinda yellow, also has a different texture than just the flour one.
🎊 mate I have a (Mystery Box) package for you, Text the .above username for acknowledgment...
I just found your channel and you have such talent. This is amazing that you're sharing this with us for free thank you so much. 😮
Your last video did actually inspire me to try pickling some red onions, and they’ve been the star of every meal since
Loving these videos
Great meal prep ideas. I love the Mexican cuisine!
I have a challenge for you: could you do a similar meal prep video where you prep a few things, but then where you'll be able to use these components to make dishes from different cuisines throughout the week? I would love to see how you would do this with your creativety 😊
Thanks for the inspo! I actually made ALL of this today. Smoking chicken thighs for tacos and tostadas tomorrow night. That yoghurt sauce is killer. Also made Kenji’s chile paste which is a staple in our fridge and so incredibly versatile. Freeze it into cubes, store in a ziplock.
Can’t wait to get into all this. Thank you - keep up the great work.
as a Mexican home cook. I'm proud of you, you nailed everything and made it almost identical to how it's done here
Watching this being Mexican is so weird, y feel that Mexican stews are rlly complicated but then again you can do anything and put them on a taco
They're really not. Just need to practice.
I love making stews cuz you just drop everything to the pot and leave it for 1-3 hours depending what you making..... No complications at all if you see some recipe with lots steps better look for other one
They're really not, especially if you have a crock pot. Just do your seasoning mix and vegetable prep the night before and throw it all in the crock pot with your protein in the morning. It's even easier if you have a digital crock that shuts off with a timer.
You can't make a menudo or pozole by just dropping everything in the crockpot 😂 a real good sopa Aztec requires a few steps as well
@@angelicaramirez2555 We're talking basics here. An asada is definitely doable. Basic carnitas and birria are as well, especially if you have an Instant Pot. She needs the confidence to know they're possible, but please, continue to be discouraging.
Love Mexican cuisines awesome meal prep recipes love this idea of storing stuff? 😍 😋👌
All I can say is thank you for blessing me with the knowledge of making this beautiful food
i'm mexican and i am drooling over this recipes!!!
Awesome recipe from the notification squad. Love Mexican food and would like to try these meal prep.
Me, watching from Mexico, writing everything down, like, I must try these... ✍🏼😋
I just prepped this. I used chipotles in adobo instead of the chilis for the sauce. These are the ABSOLUTE BEST recipes I have ever swooped off the internet. It only took me an hour. Thank you so much.
Can not get enough of this guy and his techniques!!
Have you tried Queso Fresco before? I recommend trying it for your mexican dishes! Especially for the torta.
Y si! I just had one and had to throw in the queso fresco 😎
I'm ready to jump into the kitchen!!! Love your videos, they are AMAZING!!!! I am using them to teach my boys to cook so I know they won't starve when they are out on their own!!!!
When my sons were teenagers, I told them that we were going to start "bachelor survival classes" (to make them sound cooler🙄). I included cooking, laundry, and cleaning. To this day, they still do all 3 well!
Mexican cuisine is hugely varied, delicious and makes for a great week of eating without constant food prep. I made beef enchiladas with bean and rice sides last night!
Chipotle in adobo sauce is always in the fridge ready for a quick sauce.
Great ideas, I’m inspired by your tortilla dough idea!
I love just watching you invent new meals on the fly like this. That's what being a pro home cook is all about eh?
I saw the maseca and my hands instantly knew what I'm making for dinner.. pupusa night😁
omg when i saw the pickled onions i was thinking "Ethan would approve"....didnt expect that though! awesome crossover.
Greetings from Portland Oregon. After watching your channel and getting lots of great info for over a year, I finally got off my ass and commented on this meal prep video. Most excellent. I made the black beans, pickled onions, chipotle yogurt and poblano salsa. I enjoy your free-form approach to making food. I've been a cast iron fan for over 15 years. All my stuff is Lodge mostly scored at a steal at garage sales, etc. Wok, 12 , 10, and 15 in skillets and dutch oven have served me well. Keep up the good work on a really useful and informative channel.
I absolutely love your content. You make everything so simple & inspire me to cook more
I have a bag of black beans and was looking for a good pressure cooker beans recipe. Thank you, dude.
hey Mexican here, you don't need a pressure cooker for the beans, you can use any pot, only remember to use 2 parts of water for every 1 bean part, this takes 2 hours to cook, another tip is to put the beans in water all the night to soften them, you cut the cook time in a half
Useful tip when storing your masa, take out the air bubbles on the side for even longer lengths of time 👌✨
Thank you so much for this video! I just made your sauce and it came out fabulous. Looking forward to making the pickled onions and more.
I really love your style and your channel the way you explain in terms we non professional cooks can get it. I absorb the information you provided like a sponge Thank you love it keep it up.
Yesss. Mexican food is seriously king. You've no idea how much I love it. I could eat it everyday. And honestly traditional is amazing, but trying new things with it is great too. You can't go wrong with the complex ingredients and flavors of Mexican food. I'd love to see you make a molé or more complex dishes eventually (:
my parents owned a little home town cafe. they had a full "Mexican" menu. you could take the same 10 ingredients and turn them i to so many different meals. it was great. they were known all over central eastern Colorado for their green chili burritos.
exactly! so versatile
i love these meal prep videos and all the meals you can throw together afterwards !!!!
I LOVE the relaxed and delicious way men cook!! Thanks for making and sharing this video.
Mi compa voltea las tortillas con una espátula, ¿Le dicen o le digo?
I am mexican and loved what you did. Adding your own style to the recipes let me see other ways to use some common flavors. I need to try the beans and the yoghurt sauce but with a little more of spicyness jaja.
Some tips: don´t be afraid to cook your tortillas a little bit more, i prefer it more like the 8:30 one, you could try it. You can put cilantro and onion when cooking the beans. Another good prep is "Chiles en vinagre".
“garlic will give you that little bite you deserve!” that made me laugh
really enjoying the meal prep series! learning a lot! thanks!
Thanks, thanks, and thanks again for this opportunity to know the wonderful Mexican cuisine, be Bless.
Steak torta pretty much how you made it is called a Pepito. It generally uses a whole bolillo, but you can also use a big chunk of baguette. It originally comes from Spain (but we made it a lot better with Guacamole, salsa and refried beans).
The beautiful thing about mexican food is you can throw almost any protein leftovers in a tortilla, top it with some salsa and you've got a taco. You also have the most basic taco which is just a corn tortilla with refried beans, which is something you can throw together in a couple minutes once if you have them in your fridge and costs next to nothing.
try frying the torta and slamming some enchiladas inside. thats called a guajolote Tulancingo Original and it tastes delicious :D
Eyyyy ethan is in this video! I like seeing my foodtubers collabing somehow
Oh yeah, everything is coming together. *Rubs hands
Thanks for the videos! You make it look so easy. I love the fresh ingredients.
big fan of this channel. Videos are too long but I always enjoy it from beginning to end! Great job and thanks for all the knowledge!
I dunno if it's better but i'd love to see a Korean meal prep video! also I feel like you should od more themed meal prep videos like this
Would love to see a re-exploration of Filipino food!
Making all of this today. Wow! U r a blessing for sure🤗
You are a culinary genius. Thank you.
Oh my gosh, this is great! Could you do the same with Italian and another for Lebanese? 🤗👏🏻
I’m Mexican, there’s some ingredients you use and we also use and ad to the recipes but honestly you can’t call that Mexican cuisine, and also we never ad sugar to a salsa, but then again most of those ingredients we do use in our kitchens and are versatile . Maybe you can research a little bit more in Mexican food. Greetings, and also, the meals you prep do look mouth- watering.
Exactly, I would call this more like "Mexican inspired" that real Mexican food, and then he used those canned tomatoes omg no no never ever!!
anyway, he does still an ok job.
He never said it was mexican cooking/cuisine..
I like your approach, basics with a modern twist. I am a great cook of traditional Mexican cuisine, your salad with fish it's a great idea for my diet. Well done!
One of the best cooking videos I have ever seen.
"Even if you don't like Mexican food" I'M SORRY WHAT?
I don't like making Mexican food.
(Because I always ruin it.)
Exactly! Huuh? Not like Mexican food? Never heard of such a person ;)
My partner doesn't like Mexican food, it's the weirdest thing ever
It's like hating serotonin
@@Silverstreamhomecrafts you need a new partner 😂😂 JK
you had me at "this right here is my bin of cheese"
Love your show! Thanks for all your hard work.
I just realized that tortillas are like really thin arepas, even the flour looks similar. I realize that's not the same thing, but it gave me an awesome idea to try with "harina P.A.N".
Love your content!!
