Giant 4 Dollar Homemade Fajitas Meal | But Cheaper
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 05. 2021
- Ah yes, the TexMex classic, fajitas. We all know it. We all love it. However, going out with friends and family trying to enjoy a steamy plate of meat, beans, vegetables, and warm tortillas that you just want to cuddle up in are so darn expensive!! Enough is enough of spending over 15 bucks a serving for fajitas. That's why we are making chicken fajitas at home, but wayyyy cheaper. Like $4 per serving cheaper.

Josh’s new segment should be “But Faster” where he takes long cooking items and makes a quicker weeknight friendly version.
Yes
This 👆🏻
yes please
This has been said so many times he better fricken do it soon lol
I don't have a oven D:
As a broke college student who LOVES food, this series has legitimately saved my life.
I love food too, i think i would’ve die without it
I wanna thank food for keeping me alive during my toughest times
Food has saved my life multiple times, it literally is the only reason why I’m alive right now
I dont know how this comment thread ended up here. But everything happening here is pristine!👌

This is quite brutal, but useful :-)
How did you know I’ve been craving fajitas?! Money-saving tip: Red bell peppers always cost more than the other colors, so buy a bunch when they’re on sale and chop and freeze for quick fajitas!
Fun fact, the reason why they cost more us because it's the last color a bell pepper turns so it takes longer to achieve 👍
Thanks 🙏🏽
In Austin, the yellow and orange peppers are more expensive
Or buy a bunch of green bells and let a few sit on the counter to turn red
@@producehappiness9952 pretty sure they wouldn't turn red. Much more likely to rot/grow mold as they are already "dead" given that they were cut from their source of nutrition too soon. So, if you buy green. They won't turn red unless you're some kinda witch...
I made this. It was absolutely the best Tex-mex dish I’ve ever made. Ever.
Josh should do a "Basics" series in which he explains knife skills, pan skills, how to break down some meats and vegetables etc
Kinda like binging with babish?
Like binging with babish?
He does on tik tok!
yesssss
Check out Basics With Babish.
A moment if silence for Josh's poor neighbors who have to smell this while eating hot pockets from the microwave 😔
That's me. I'm his neighbor.
Everyone who is Fasting: 👁👄👁
Hey there ain’t nothing wrong with the pockets of the hotness just consume in moderation 😂
Josh could easily do a But Better Hot Pockets video 😊
Also as someone who literally just finished a bowl of kicked up "blue box" macaroni (talkin pasta water added to the sauce along with bacon grease, bacon chopped up and mixed in, even got the bacon on a righteous Kwik Star discount, you can always add a bit of egg slurry too and turn it into a cheesy carbonara), there are ingredients and more importantly techniques (not strictly featured in the product instructions) that can improve even a generic food product.
I made everything here for my family on Cinco de Mayo and we ate bomb fajitas! I used the spice mix on a sous vide flank steak and it was fuego! Thank you so much for all you do!
I love how with the more videos Josh makes, the more his humor comes out If u watch his old videos he’s not like this lol
i think his older videos is just him being careful of the jokes and things he says cuz he isnt sure how his potential audience would take it
you should do another segment called “but college” and only use a stove/oven/microwave with minimal dishes and pans and fast prep/cook times
Would be cool to see. Like cool flex and all but many of us don't even have the space for a rice cooker, let alone alot of the fancy stuff he uses im these videos.
It's a bit like DIY. Sure it's cheaper to build your own, but only after you subtract the cost of the tools needed.
You can cook rice pretty good without a rice cooker. You just need a pot middle to low heat, stir some times and let it cook till the rice is good. 1:2 rice to water doesn't change. Rinsing it doesn't change. And if you don't wanna rinse you can roast your rice with a bit oil for some flavour. Rice cooker is unnecessary imo
@@akuma1319 Catch it just before the water in the bottom of the pot runs out but isn't completely dry and it will be perfect.
@@akuma1319 Yeah but for recipes like this one, where it isn't just "cook rice in water" but instead "cool rice with a whole load of other stuff", actual instructions beyond "bung it into your expensive rice cooker" are kinda necessary if you lack said expensive rice cooker.
@@Stargazeer Rice cookers are like $20 for a good one, but you can often get them cheaper. Was one of the first things I bought in college and honestly my best purchase. Still use it 4 years later one a weekly basis.
The last time I made fajitas I kept calling them “bruhitas”. My nieces were annoyed but I was entertained. That’s my fajita story.
Calling them fajitas after that is a massive downgrade
love it
Thank you for this story
I like it
bruhita
0:01 "So have you ever gone out with your friends-"
no
I just made this tonight and OH MY GAWDDD. This is soooooooooo good and all I spent was $10 at Dillons. Guys please make this, it is so worth it. I have so much food left over. Joshua, you have saved my pockets and my stomach lol
...he said it was $4.
@@hulksmash8159 per serving...🙃 also I had a good amount of ingredients at the house so I only had to buy like 4 things. Really good deal. 😊
@@inuyashaMTV Ah, well it's all good and I know it was delicious lol.
@@inuyashaMTV That’s great! Did you cook the chicken thighs the same way as Joshua did?
@@pandalady7983 I didn't have access to a grill so I just did them in a skillet and put some liquid smoke on them... they turned out great 😍
I'd love to see a series called 'but bougie' where you take things like Vienna Sausages and make them hilariously expensive
this. now.
Vienna. Beef. Franks.
@@AxxLAfriku thank you based god
Yes
hahah id love that! - people in the comments always try to make him do something simplified even tho making stuff fancy is his whole brand and style
but that idea right there would be so funny and totally on brand
Now this is a recipe to feed a whole SLAV family!
the whole eastern block!
I thought that said slave for a second
dont lie!!!!! its only enough for one brother.
@@mikahist4155 And typically it would be the little one.
@@ashergirdwood2826 Not anymore!
Also I would love more of these "family-sized" meals. Things you can easily make a lot of for meal prepping or dinner socials or whatever.
Just double or triple the portion size dude
You make the best recipes and always inspiring!
Hey papa, would we ever get a series “but quicker” where you make things that normally take ages to make but in like 30 mins. It’s exam season and I want to eat well but time is of the essence
Good luck with your exams, we're all in this together!
Bro why are you commenting so much slow down
Yoooooo
Yes
Rectal examinations
i'm so happy when Papi Joshua gives me a Kiss everytime i do right things...
Such a sub
Unlike every other dad on the planet lol
I discovered this channel only recently, thanks for the outstanding content! This particular video shows simple recipes which, taken together, arguably take a long time to prepare, but that can be batch-cooked and refrigerated/frozen for days worth of supplies. Besides, with beans + bell peppers or chicken + rice + bell peppers, you already get delicious and balanced meals. So, you don't actually need all those components unless you're hosting a party (which in many places is still illegal...).
Thank you! I learn so much from your show working on watching and making everything
🎵I’m a little baby!!!🎶 hand me that bell pepper good sir!!! 😂
Haha and the chorizo 😂😅👏🏻
😂😂😂
Don’t buy canned beans: dry open stock beans are cheaper and usually more packaging-conscious and all you gotta do is soak them the night before cooking
And if you’re grilling already, grill the peppers and onions
I was surprised he used canned. Usually, he'd be all about as scratch as possible.
I did this yesterday...it took the whole day....I’m tired but it’s amazing! The beans were the best part and basically a meal in themselves.
Every time I follow one of your recipes it turns out amazing! I made your fajitas, and the seasoning was awesome. My wife can't take too much of the heat from chipotle powder so I cut it in half and substituted regular ol' chili powder for the other half. I'm sure it's not as good as if I had followed yours to the letter, but one has to keep one's spouse happy. Judt wanted you to know you're really appreciated out here.
Yo I heard that *B O N E L E S S* meme reference. Papa is really out here on the depths of the internet.
Lol plz explain
Yall got bones in ur shit then?
@@dylanstankewicz850 it’s a meme bro
@@ytrewqmcnoggin4480 its what the dude says in the meme
Much like your queso recipe, I could not imagine cooking a fajita meal this way. Canned beans? Fried rice in a rice cooker without caldo de Tomate? And where is the cilantro?
💯
I love that Josh lights his grill chimney on the stovetop. I started doing that a while ago and it's so much easier than fiddling with fire starters.
As a young chef myself i just love watching your vids it give me sooo much inspiration! Due to this global pandemic I’m unable to work in the kitchen but watching your vids just keep on remembering why i love cooking!!! I always wanted to be a chef since i was 5 years old🤩 (i’m 21 now lmao)
Dont know about yall but i'm a simple human. i see papa post, i immediately click.
I'm angry that papa didn't fetch us from the kitchen cupboard😭😓
WOW looks FANTASTIC Thank You .
I made the fajitas and rice last night. They were the best fajitas I’ve ever eaten!!! Thank you!
As an Indian, when Josh said bass-matty rice that really struck me in my soul jkjjkjjkk
Could you write out your best approximation of the correct pronunciation? I'm Canadian and have only ever heard it called "baz-maddy".
@@randoprior4130 basmati
@@randoprior4130 pronounced as "baasmati" in one go and not breaking it down to "baas-matty"
It offended me, too, but he's so good looking, I let it slide, lol
@@Optometrist 😂
Joshua: Pulls out pot
Uncle Roger: *Inhale* HA-
Joshua: Don't worry is not for the rice
Uncle Roger: O mai god you almost give me hart attack
Made this evening, delicious! Thank you Joshua!
Thank you for the delicious food! Literally helping my family save money
I like how these are like 4 dollars per sevring but the recipe makes 10 servings
And you live alone
The more you make the more the price comes down. Its economy of scale.
@@NotKimiRaikkonen if you're selling it 😭
@@islander959 no, even just from things like buying in larger quantities
You're not familiar with fajita platters are you, because it really doesn't... ;D
Hey Joshua, would you do a video where you go to the supermarket and show and explain the ingredients you are buying to help people better understand the prep work before cooking.
Love the videos
Josh, I made this recipe to the T tonight for 10 people (I doubled the recipe) it was an absolute hit! People were going back for thirds and fourths! I myself have never had fajitas before and this was absolutely amazing. Thank you!
Made this for lunch today and omg so good!
What an awesome Sunday! Wake up to the happiest man alive making fajitas 🤤
You know Josh, you should start a series with low effort dishes called but lazier
Lol like microwaved ramen
where he just microwaves frozen dinners lol
I just want to say thank you for this great channel you created! i litterally just binge watched so many of your videos:) love it and love your energy and humor! thank you for making us laugh :)
I love that you are focusing on cost of food especially during these times. On point my dude
Idk where he's getting 2lbs of boneless chicken thighs for $3 lol.
Thank you for that chorizo scene, Josh. I needed that laugh today. 🤣🤣🤣
I think the hardest part of following his recipes is having to adjust for the equipment I have at home. In an apartment there simply isn't room for most of the big and expensive cooking equipment he uses in his videos. It's not feasible for most people sometimes when he uses so many fancy gadgets, love the recipes though!
Do you have a grill?? That's all you need. Everything else can be done with pots.
@@xsageonex I make my fajita pork on the stove too!! easy 30 min meal, including prep
Finally a video about fajitas that I can easily make at home. Right on my birthday😁😁 Thank you❤❤
i recently found your channel on tiktok and man I have never enjoyed a cooking channel more. Your're the goat man.
2:44 omg what was thatttt😂😂😂
A whole wheel of Comté? Now thats a flex. That's my absolute favorite cheese
This one is just completely awesome.
Your production team is insanely good!
Wtf dude the other day I wanted to make gyros and you made the video today I told my wife hey let’s make steak fajitas and you upload a video. Lol
What u planning to make 4 days from now?....asking for a friend
@@Kraaven2026 lol
That's what happens when when you live in his cupboard
_Grabs_ _bell_ _pepper_
"I know what i have to do but i dont know if i have the strength to do it"
I love Fajitas! Thank you!
OK, finally someone that brings this up, 👏🙌. Would always think it was crazy to go eat fajitas at some places. Like I know some restaurants are a must but can't beat it at this price tag.
The way he pronounces "Basmati rice" 😂❤️
Those certainly were some UNCTUOUS beans. Learning to make good food and expanding my vocabulary cheers papa
FINALLY, SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS, like... fajita veggies shouldn't even be that good, but they're sooooooooo amazing on everything haha
Big fan of this series
I love how you made this amazing tex-mex meal without a spec of cilantro.
Thank you for a tex-mex recipe I can actually enjoy
Without using the devil's lettuce
When you want to be mega early but an ad pops up
Thanks for sharing Josh! I enjoyed your fun personality 😊
I worked at a restaurant called LoneStar Texas Grill for almost 3 years and trust me I had it at the end of every shift! Also made all kinds of burritos and foods! Free of charge! 🤤
Earliest I've ever been to be honest😏....his cooking techniques are way easier to follow than the other posh chefs who think going fast and using everything is the key
I have never been this early. I guess working graveyard shift has its perks
What's a graveyard shift?
@@Lennartnieuwland Thank's for explaining, cutie!
I honestly get so excited when you post. My family loves to see you cook♥️♥️
It’s 10:00 where I am
nice
Made it
Was delicious
Thanks
I just made everything watching step by step and my husband and kids love everything the only thing is I used my broiler on high to cook the chicken everything came out perfect those beans are to die for THANKS IT WAS A HIT!!!
Even just by the thumbnail I knew this was gonna be a great video
@@kingmankingboy8743 ok 👌
Every single video I have to say B ROLL with Papa
We all do
Facts.
Oh man I have been trying to recreate fajitas at home for so so long. This finally did it. This sounds weird, but I rinsed the excess marinade off after grilling bc I have a 1.5 yr old who is also eating and I didn't want it too spicy and it ended up with perfect heat even lil dude enjoyed it and my spice averse mother in law LOVED it!
Me and the boys haven't gone out for food in decades for just this reason.
What ever we can manage to forge with mats from a 24hr grocery story and CZcams guides wins.
Thank you for your service.
My man is spending $0.60 on Chipotle powder. Look at this fancy dude with all his CZcams money
We need to see a behind the scenes of josh doing the voiceover for these videos 😂
Omg... YESSS
Just made it. It came out🔥🔥🔥
I look forward to Josh's videos. I luv the silly clip ins and singing echos. Have a great week!💜🌮🌯🥘
Giant 4 Dollar Homemade Fajitas
Yes, please! Joshua Weissman is a cooking wizard.
Day 100 of waiting for Josh to take on somebody his own size (Hard Rock Cafe) in his But Better series after years of picking on fast food places. You'll need maximum effort to beat their BBQ ribs, flawless chicken, and hot fudge brownie.
And yes I know this video is but cheaper. Nah you'll need to But Better the Hard Rock.
This looks amazing
Killin it as always Josh
“That look nathy” had me in tears 😂please put that on a shirt 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Josh: place your thighs onto the hot side of the grill.
Me: "got 3rd degree burn"
You make me excited to cook. Thank you!
These look so good!
I feel personally attacked by the “stay calm, we’re not cooking rice in here” 😭
missed opportunity to say “bean-roll” instead of “B-roll” 😔
What is this, a Bushes’ commercial
Genius editing!!! And the food...omg😍
I'm going to try this!!
What do you call a Mexican Super Saiyan
Fajita
This is the first time ive caught a video this early lol
same
Papa Josh, I love watching your cooking videos. Please do a take on a pot roast; like a dutch or mississippi roast. Why? Because I've been craving it and I've recently learned a lot of people I know have never had this deliciousness but it's so simple and amazing! I know you could make it better.
That looks so good. This beans are next level
I'm fasting but you're making me hungry. I'll resist the urge to eat though.
Me too! Ive notice that i watch a lot more food videos in ramadan lol, a lot of Josh and also Natasha's Kitchen
“Ehllo, Poppa! Noice!”
I only made the fajitas themselves, and it was great! But, and this is a very important but, I would highly recommend using a cast iron skillet for the peppers and onions, which I did, and my family loved it!
I love your 'but cheaper' videos i hope you keep doing more
As a Mexican, I approve this recipe. It actually seems pretty Mexican other than the canned stuff. But if my family only had cans of beans, we would defo use them. The chorizo beans look amazing btw
Cooking dry beans properly would be cheaper than canned beans. It just takes forever 🤣
Basmati rice is authentic to you?
@@JoseTheToad my b, if it where normal rice grains then the recipe keeps the authentic approval haha.
Yeah Wab the fact that we don’t use rice cookers & we use pots instead... el arroz rojo no se hace así. al lo mejor le damos puntos por qué dijo “Mexican Style Rice”
I like Josh but this was a clear miss.
You should do a segment where you magically make everything cheaper, faster, but with that same amount of flavor - like all the people who never cooked once in their life seem to think is possible.
Oh my god, Josh, that chicken recipe is the bomb!
I had a bunch of chicken thighs I didn't know what to do with, so naturally I came to you looking for ideas. Wound up using half of it to make the chicken portion of this recipe and I actually slapped the counter it tasted so good! I damn near ate the whole thing in one sitting! Well done my man!
(On a side note, I didn't have any chipotle powder -sorry papa- but I subbed it with one part cayenne, one part paprika and one part chili powder. I highly recommend it if you're in the same predicament)
2:39 oh no 😂
