[@marksafe5463]

I took your suggestion the other day of using a higher than 20% fat ground beef and literally brought back memories of my favorite childhood taco place. Can’t put a price on that… but it was technically cheaper than leaner beef.

[@guguigugu]

fat is flavor, always has been

[@brickchains1]

Beef fat is cheaper than beef meat. It's harder and more expensive to develop muscle in cattle than just overfeeding them corn slop or whatever they eat

[@Noway-sg8md]

nothing wrong with the higher fat content. i prefer it in almost any circumstance. youre just going to end up adding some oil if you use too lean of a beef.

[@danm8004]

@@Noway-sg8md just to play devil's advocate for a moment- this is true if you're sourcing beef hormone and antibiotic free, but that crap is stored in the animal's fat. It's better in that case to go as lean as possible and sub the fat for a healthy oil like olive or avocado.

Can you do Icecream? Preferably an easy recipe that does not need a machine? Also Mint Chip flavor, my favorite.

[@underscore_n]

look for his mcflurry but better video, he made one without a machine

[@charlesrose3471]

There is a great way of churning ice cream without a machine, but do know that it is physically difficult. Find your ice cream recipe, follow the directions, but once you get to the point of using a machine, you can get a bowl of ice, and hand churn it using a wooden spoon or something similar. It would be much easier to search up a real way online, but this is the start.

[@willcook6967]

I'm weird. I like cooking my ground beef with a whisk. It' does an amazing job of breaking it down into little bits, and it works for almost anything I cook other than hamburgers. Though, seriously, I have to make homemade tortillas already. My kitchen space is almost non existent, but I have to have those. Just missing out on too much.

[@saratakkoush6109]

Josh usually uses a potato masher so a whisk isn't so far far off

[@trexz3720]

You're not the only one

[@lucheng1945]

But then you have to wash the grease off each little whisk wire, which is especially annoying in the center part where they all overlap.

Living within ~2-3 mins of a Taqueria that will sell their fresh made tortillas, I just pick up a stack of those lol. Definitely better than something I would make at home. And I don't understand why more people don't buy blocked cheese and just shred a lot, store it in a plastic container or something for later use if you know you're going to be lazy? Granted, in college I always bought pre-shredded. But I've noticed as I have gotten older that it doesn't melt the same. And to me, quesadillas are like traditional nachos. Can just have it with cheese and jalapenos and call it a day. Hell, when drunk, that's all I do lol. These But Cheaper eps and the faster than ordering from a restaurant ones are my favs of yours.

[@goldensea03idk51]

This was a really easy but cheaper I love it

[@boganfett]

The only thing I would have preferred is just a homemade tortilla with hand shredded cheese vs the store made ingredients one. You added a ton of extras to the gourmet one, which is great, but can't compare it to the other.

[@laraq07]

First place I ever had the plain quesadilla it had the cheese and guacamole in it.

[@underscore_n]

he should have just compared storebought tortilla vs handmade shredding cheese and frying up some beef is easy compared to making a tortilla from scratch, how much of a difference does it make, and are you really sacrificing that much by getting a half-decent storebought tortilla (not the crappiest one like he got for the video)

[@lejuanca]

just make it for yourself omg its like 8 cents

[@ross-carlson]

THIS

[@alexamaya618]

He wasn’t exactly comparing them, hence why he said “it’s not a but better.” He was creating a baseline that many people know and loved growing up, and then showing that with a little bit of extra effort it can be elevated.

[@cookiedoughdynamo2747]

Yes, things like meat and dairy products tend to be way more expensive, and then there's stuff like whole bottles you only need tablespoons out of multiple times a year at best. Buying small bottles and packages of ingredients easily more than doubles the price overall.

[@AlexandruStan96]

I was lazy so I just bought the wraps from the store, but got 2 chunks of cheese instead of pregrated. Really good!! I will try the gourmet version soon!

As a mexican living in Mexico I've always supported your Mexican recipes, however this time I'm afraid that's not what we'd call quesadilla, actually that's a sincronizada, still a great approach tho

[@ross-carlson]

What is "wrong" about it? What would have made it a quesadilla? Not arguing, just ignorant of this so want to learn.

[@christinecrush]

Sincronizadas is a specific type of quesadilla. Great approach with your comment tho

[@geriyeri30]

@@ross-carlson sincronizada is a flour tortilla based quesadilla. It contains meat vegetables and of course cheese. The traditional "regular" quesadilla contains cheese, spices, and maybe some type of protein. The traditional quesadillas are made out of corn tortilla... the reality is that is almost the same, but the difference is flour tortilla and the added vegetables in the sincronizada.

[@peyton713]

@@geriyeri30 No one in America makes quesadillas with corn tortillas, and that includes most latinos and all Mexican places. So be pedantic if you must but yeah.

@@geriyeri30 And tbh thinking about it, it's often flour tortillas I get when ordering quesadillas in Mexico as well.

[@foxhack5011]

I prefer tortillas made with lard, but I've found some store bought flour tortillas have just about enough vegetable oil in the outside that they make decent quesadillas without the need to add an oil to the pan when you cook them. There's a few brands that are extremely oily though, those suck. I like to get some Spanish chorizo sausage (not crumbly, it's dry), cut it up, fry it to cook it, then add that to the quesadilla. The chorizo oil is also pretty tasty and can be used instead of butter.
