    If you wrap the burrito in parchment paper and aluminum foil before freezing, then you can remove the foil and reheat them in the microwave with the parchment paper. This keeps the tortilla soft

      Can't you just put the foil in microwave? I heard that wasn't a thing anymore. I tried it once and it isn't seem to do anything. But I grew up with microwaves popping off you put metal in them as well, so I still don't.

    Tip for defrosting, if you have time I prefer defrosting in the fridge. Put them in the fridge the night before you want to eat them (or the morning if you’re eating them in the evening). Then microwave or heat in the oven to warm up. I find it better this way because when you defrost in the microwave you sometimes get some hot bits and some cold bits

    Some ideas I have right after watching:
    1. You can add beans for some added protein
    2. Instead of cow cheese you could go for greek yoghurt/skyr, lower to no fat, high in protein.
    3. Grilling it after microwaving might make eating easier, as well as tastier.

    Get your onions in first, cook them on low heat for a good 10 mins to get them sweet. Turn the heat up for your meat to get good colour on it. I'd also get some bell peppers and jalapenos into them. When you wrap a burrito, you need to tuck the first fold into the food to seal it.

  • @111Panda
    @111Panda Рік тому +18

    Tip from a Mexican. To add a more pliable and tastier tortilla; throw in the stove stop or in a pan and let in cook. If you're using just the stove top flip every 5 secs and ensure your rotating it to get it charred evenly (but don't burn it). If a pan is used cook each side for 30-45 sec until brown spots or dark charred spots form.
    When you go to make your burrito it'll be super pliable and tastier.
    Also to go off what someone said about the parchment paper then foil. Yup, I agree and also if you know for a fact you're gonna eat it then take it out and stick in the fridge to defrost the day before or 6 hours.

    These are great, I meal prep them all the time. Never bother freezing them as they're usually gone by the end of the week, I keep the tortillas in a ziplock bag, the beef sauce in a container in the fridge and then roll them as needed.
    One note, for me they're a bit hard to stomach on their own so I add some greens (salad, spinach) or some sliced carrot in the burrito and a glass of kefir, butter milk or yogurt on the side.

    Couple additions I would make here:
    1. Add some more vegetables into the mix. Bell pepper, carrots, spring onions or zucchini all add a miniscule amount of calories but add a lot of volume and make the whole thing a lot healthier and also add a lot of flavour.
    2. If they aren't frozen anymore, I would throw them in the air fryer for a couple of minutes. The tortilla gets super crispy with that method, which is a plus in my book, since regular wraps taste pretty bland otherwise.

It's been proven that the amount of steps a person does in a day. Is just a facade. And it doesn't really add up to anything. Just the basic 10k steps only burns around 300 calories. One of the the burritos in the video is 500cal. Not taking sodium, carbs, ect into consideration. This doesn't leave any room to have a balanced meal. Your calorie intake is thrown out the window.

What I think you meant to say is that walking more than maybe 10k steps during our day does not increase our health or longevity. Not taking more than 5k steps during a day is unhealthy, and I feel like that is pretty logical and obvious. Taking 25k steps instead of 10k is a huuge increase in physical activity in my opinion.

    I like your meat sauce choices. One of the great things about burritos is that the sky is the limit on fillings. I used to make them with brown rice, pinto beans, onions, black olives, spinach and grilled chicken and a spice mix I make (equal parts cumin, adobo powder, chipotle powder, and chili powder). I then would make a béchamel cheese sauce and cover them. Those we'd cut in half (they were the 11" tortillas) and store them in individual reusable plastic containers. I need to start making those again.
    But love burritos because you can just have so many options with the filling.
    For bigger burritos like this, the foil makes eating it easier, but it's more waste as well (yea, a sheet of foil is pretty minimal).. We make burritos, but we roll them and stack them on a plate and put them in the freezer. Once they freeze, then we put them in a Ziploc bag. So not quite as convenient to eat, but a tad less waste.

  • @porcu12345
    @porcu12345 Рік тому +50

    You should cook your mince in a bigger pan and for longer. There was no colour on it, which means the pan was overcrowded and the heat wasn't high enough as a result. It was basically steamed in its own water content because it hadn't evaporated. Losing loads of flavour doing it your way. Same goes for the onions. Fry them in the same pan after you pull the mince out. Then add everything back together with the sauce.

    • @Rosskles
      @Rosskles Рік тому +2

      My exact thoughts, the difference is night and day for flavours.
      Also, if you don't have a big enough pan, just cook the mince in batches.
      And lastly, not stirring the mice for a while after you first put it in the pan will give a sort of caramelised crust like you get on a steak.

    Thanks for the cooling the filling tip. I also love that parchment paper tip in the comments section. My rolling technique is slightly different, Roll the tortilla over the filling and pull back to compress the filling and shape it evenly into a tube. Gets all the air gaps out of your filling and makes a round tube shape. Then fold in the sides and roll over the rest. Voila, your filling will stay put and if you did it right it won't drip anything out of the ends.

Then press the filling from the center out either end and pull back compressing the filling. Then fold in each end and finish rolling. The trick is to match the amount the amount of filling to your tortilla size so you can fold the ends over enough to seal it. When I make this end fold move, I'm compressing the loose filling at either end to get more tortilla to fold the sides in. The last roll holds it in place. Try smaller amounts of filling and then you work your way up to stuff it fuller when you get the hang of how big you can make it. I also will sometimes take cheese slices as my bottom layer before I put the filling in. So when you reheat it later you have this melted cheese section.

    I usually add in corn, black beans and jalapenos, plus right before finishing up I throw in some finely chopped spinach leaves. Adds a few more nutrients and volume to give you additional burritos. For me the tortillas I buy come packaged in groups of 10, so I can use a full package per meal prep which keeps things easier.

    I’ve done this 3 times now and absolutely love having a tasty, filling breakfast in a couple minutes! I thought I’d share a few tips I’ve learned after doing a few batches of these: the scrambled eggs take the longest to heat up in the microwave, so make sure to really break up the eggs really small so there’s more surface area and they don’t end up cold while everything else is blazing hot. If you have a microwave with power settings, I’d recommend lowering it to half power and cooking twice as long. It’s a more gentle heating and usually turns out better.

    I always do the onions first… otherwise they steam over the meat. If you put them in a little oil first they taste better. After that add spices of your choice and garlic.. mix for a minute.. then once the water from the onions is all evaporated add the meat on high heat.. you want to sear it.. not boil. Don’t put too much meat all at once otherwise it steams . Who likes boiled meat? Lol then add some chopped tomatoes.. plenty of salt, pepper, a teaspoon of sugar lower the heat and let if cook on low heat. Of course you can add peppers with the onions.. and even beans together with the chopped tomatoes. Also the spices I like are paprika, or smoked paprika, with cayenne pepper, cumin and ground coriander. Herbs wise I like marjoram right at the end . And can also add a bit of lemon or a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to balance the taste. Bloody hell.. got carried away.

Few tips on the cook. Cook the onions first to get a nice caramelization instead of adding to the beef. More flavor. I’ll add the diced peppers right before the onions are caramelized and set this entire thing aside once onions caramelized. Then caramelized the meat on its own in same pan as onions and peppers. While meat cooking scramble eggs and cook separate and set aside. When meat done then add onion peppers, and spinach. When spinach wilted down turn off heat add eggs and cheese(I shreds sharp cheddar). Increased Protein and flavor profile to the next level.

    Always cook the onions first. Let them go 5-10 minutes, and add the meat then. Season it immediately when you throw the meat in. Cook it until you barely see any pink. If you need to cook vegetables, do it in a different pan. Make sure you don’t overcook the meat. Once the sauce is in let the meat cook in the sauce for a bit. That will optimize the flavors :)

    Helps if you cook your bread a bit in a pan with minimal oil and salt also add beans and veggies.

    This channel is amazing! Though I have to say he got me laughing with the "20 to 25 grams of black pepper"... That literally is half of the shaker 😁
    Tried the recipe and it works great, some extra veggies will only add flavour to your gains 💪

      Thank you, i meant 20-25 cranks of black pepper. I will work on my pronunciation 😊

    using a toaster to reheat it after defrosting is a better option. The microwave will make the tortilla soggy, the taoster will make it cwispy.

      Nice. Knowing that lunch and dessert is already meal prepped is an amazing feeling :)

    we do opposite :make a big pot of main base ( beans/many veggies/some taco souse/onions) then when we do lunch heat that up fry some chicken and put some more veggies ( tomato/lettece/cc/corn) well this may not be most healthy but it is sure good way of meal prep
    Edit : just did 2nd batch first was 2kg now it's 4kg just cooking it. I eat it 1/week so it lasts a while

    I love how you use a rubber spatula to not scratch the pan, lot of people do it wrong and use stiff plastic or wooden Spoons.
