    As a Hispanic, I approve the tomato base from knorr for rice. Oh and if you aren't using wax, parchment or plastic wrap with the tortilla press, you'll break your tortillas. Hope that helps Brooke thank you love PS, I add a spoon or so of tomato sauce, or paste to mine. Jalapeño would be good, a few slivers of garlic. I know your doing 5 dollar dinners but I freeze my tomato paste in a spoon full and just add 1 to each batch. Also a great addition to taco meat. I freeze Jalapeño too. Chop it. Don't need much

    If I’m not feeling like rolling tortillas I do chicken enchilada casserole. Cut the tortillas into wedges and layer chicken (.59 cents a pound ) enchilada sauce, cheese and anything else you want to layer in like beans, diced tomatos. Bake at 350 until heated through and cheese is melted. I love that you teach people how to eat well on a tight budget. I know more people than ever are struggling just to eat.

    For fun, I did through the Walmart app. I live in Fayetteville, NC.
    GV Brown Rice. .88
    Chorizo. 1.34
    Flour tortillas. 1.73
    GV cheese. 1.77
    GV ench/sauce. 1.00
    The total before tax is $6.72. If I could make it work, I would especially with the sausage. However, if I absolutely HAD to, I'd skip the chorizo just so I could have more cheese, I'd do it. The total would be $5.38.

    I find that anything with rice, beans, and tortillas goes a long way either with or without meat/cheese. It's, especially, budget friendly if you cook your own beans(like I do in a crockpot). You can add whatever peppers you have or just onion/garlic & seasoning. The very best thing is my kids will eat any type of burrito, enchilada, quesadilla or taco. Super for kids, just make it less spicy if they don't like heat:)

    You’re supposed to dip the tortillas in the enchilada sauce first then you roll it with everything in it and then you top it off with more sauce. FYI, most of us, Hispanics dip or tortillas and a little oil to soften the tortillas to cook them for just a minute or so. But we usually use corn tortillas for enchiladas in our home. Flour tortillas tend to get swollen and soggy faster.

    Going to try this recipe! Super cheap and delicious! Not authentic Mexican but looks so good. I also make homemade tortillas but I use 1 part sprouted flour. 1 part oat flour and 1 part white flour for the dough🙂

    I really enjoy watching you. I learn alot.. ty...I buy big can of Hanover Green Beans, potatoes and bacon. Just put a few slices of the raw bacon right in the pot. Add enough water to cover it all.. its one of my favorite" One Bowl Meals". I throw in can of shoepeg corn also when i have it. Salt,pepper,butter.. omg! Its what my family expects from me for holidays.. its funny.. For years everybody thought i made fresh beans.. its good.

    Thanks for the tip on the tomato bouillion for red rice--great idea and cheaper than using tomatoes--good idea to make your own tortillas--easy...I see that you have found what I have learned at Walmart: they often place items in two or more places and they don't always have the same price on them: pays to walk around and look: a couple of months ago, I found mac n cheese in three places and one place was HALF of what the other two were...walk around and look...dts/usa

    Brooke I am new to your channel and must say that I am hooked! I am 77 years old and enjoy how frugal you are with making meals for your family of five. You inspire me again wanting to prepare meals because I have been suffering from "cooking fatigue" after all those years of me standing in the kitchen and having to cook, I am now perking up again and want to try some of your meals I watched you made, so as you see, you are never to old to learn new things. God bless you and your family and keep those meals coming! ☺️👍❤️❤️❤️

    You should’ve browned that rice a lot more it should be a nice golden brown. (That rice was mushy. Do not add all that water by the way … if your rice is swollen like that, you added too much water and quit mixing it around like that you’re gonna make it more mushy )Then you add diced tomatoes and onion and garlic. Sauté all that together for about five minutes or so just have it caramelized ,Then you add a can of tomato sauce. A small one and then use that same can and fill a couple cans up with water. There’s no need for any of that bullion.. trust me I’m Mexican and I learned this from my grandmother. You salt and pepper garlic salt that let it boil as soon as it boils turn it down to low and leave it alone. But it’s a must to use tomato and onion. that is your base for any Mexican food.. hope this helps

    Great meal for the price! A person could save even more by buying the large can of enchilada sauce instead of 2 regular and cooking dry pinto beans in place of the canned beans. I agree about the chicken tomato bullion. It's tasty!
