Giant 4 Dollar Homemade Fajitas Meal | But Cheaper

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.

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!

[@savannahogrady]

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 👍

[@ylpitts1]

Thanks 🙏🏽

[@Tamberlaine02]

In Austin, the yellow and orange peppers are more expensive

[@producehappiness9952]

Or buy a bunch of green bells and let a few sit on the counter to turn red

[@KaoruSugimura]

@@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...

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.

[@clairekurtz8603]

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

[@Stargazeer]

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.

[@akuma1319]

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

[@rlwalker2]

@@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.

[@Stargazeer]

@@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.

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...).
