Sam is the greatest chef on tv. I know if Sam is creating a recipe, I need to get out my pen and paper because I know it’s going to be a great, yet easy creation that will taste fantastic. Thanks again Sam!

[@RyanMercer]

Now we're talkin'!

[@jameskelly1680]

Great video, Sam. My favorite Taco Bell item was the Enchirito. They discontinued it, and I made an alternative at home. Mine has pulled chicken and beans inside a flour tortilla shell, then cover with cheese and smother with red enchilada sauce, onions, and top with sliced olives. It's excellent, better and more nutritious than Taco Bell. Very filling, and we can add spices as we like. It has earned a spot on the weekly menu rotation. Right now I'm looking for someone to teach me an old 1980's - 1990's long discontinued item from Taco Bell - the Taco Light. It was a large taco with a crispy flour tortilla shell, like their Taco Salad. It was excellent. I'd love to learn how to make those shells.

This kid has a future in public speaking and presentations.

[@ryanhietpas218]

I really enjoy these videos. It's one thing to prepare by stocking up, but using your stocks to make meals that aren't repetitive is equally as important.

[@JDHood]

I found that the "Valentina" hot sauce in your grocery store has a similar flavor to Taco Bell mild sauce, but with more heat. I'm guessing a third to maybe half the heat of Tabasco, Franks, Texas-Pete style sauces. For me (spice wimp) it's perfect. Taco Bell favs are the beefy-melt burrito and the plain, crunchy beef tacos -- I'm cheap!

[@silvao6589]

I've just tried this for dinner, oh my, how pleasantly surprised were me and the Mrs on how nice it tasted. Well done guys and thank you for sharing ❤️👍🏼

[@TheProvidentPrepper]

Great to hear!

[@lilyq6929]

My go-to Taco Bell order is the 3 crunchy taco supreme meal and two bean burritos with extra cheese. But I love making my own food at home. Thank you for this guide to home made burritos!

[@estherstone4860]

We’ve discovered that Walmart sells Pace salsa in one gallon containers.

[@jocarson5310]

I fell in love with Bean Burritos on a trip to AZ 50 years ago. I have never lost my love for them and I will definitely try your recipe. Thanks Sam!

[@suebarnett1377]

I love their hard shell tacos and bean burritos. So I'll definitely try this recipe. Thanks for sharing

[@JaniceCrowell]

I am so glad you do these videos. My granddaughter eats almost nothing. But I gave her a frozen burrito the other day and she actually asked if I had another! Since she is 10 and I homeschool her, I think I will have her help me make them. The tortilla together with beans make a complete protein. I believe I will add some of my homemade greens powder to add a vegetable to the meal! Please keep doing these on this channel. By the way, I disagree with you about lard not being good for you. I think it is. But my granddaughter cannot eat pork so I would use something else.

[@chocolate7810]

Thanks for the olive oil tip, I never heard of that one before!!

[@fargomom63]

Always enjoy Sam’s cooking videos! He’s such a fun guy! Thanks!

[@millie7552]

Thank you Sam! My family is now excited to try this ❤

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

the taco pizza is my favorite and so far I haven't been able to duplicate it. Try that next! Thanks for the recipes!!

[@sparklyhyena7339]

That sauce recipe sounds really good. And Cheesy Gordita Crunch is several tiers above everything else at Taco Bell imo

[@krisqueen5939]

Good job, I hadn't thought of using the immersion blender in the instapot🤗

[@Metalheaddoc]

Does the Instant Pot care if you soaked the beans overnight or not? Will it adjust the cooking time so the beans get properly done either way?

[@RadianceRush]

I'm totally with you on the Taco Bell breakfast salsa. It's my favorite.

[@4thefuture3740]

I really enjoy these videos with Sam! He needs a channel!!!

[@susanm9078]

I dont think i have been to taco bell in 15 yeats or more. Even then maybe oncebor twice. My boys used to get a box that had different things in it for 5 bucks. That was about 10 years agpo. I love this recipe. We eat lots of beans in my house. I will be giving this one a try. Thanks Sam!

[@sarahp9300]

My standard order would be bean burritos EXTRA red sauce and plenty of fire sauce on the side. I also like the steak quesadilla with plenty of fire sauce. Yum. Thank you so much for this recipe for the red sauce and they reminder i can make at home so much cheaper and tastier 🎉

[@recess7018]

We seldom eat at any of the fast food places so I don't even know what any of them have on their menue. However, we do our own "fast" version of a beef and bean burrito enchilada style. We start by sauteing fine diced onions and garlic in a little oil, add our own home canned pinto beans, mash them a little as they heat up. Then we add cumin, paprika, chilli, salt & pepper to taste. We usually have some cooked ground beef in the freezer and add some to the bean mixture. Sometimes we'll add drained home canned diced green chilies. Of course, you could use store bought canned refried beans and diced green chilies if you don't can your own. Spread the mixture onto heated tortilla shells, wrap, and then we top with homemade enchilada sauce (which we make in large batches and then freeze in smaller portions). Top the burrito with more diced onions and shredded cheese. We can have this on the dinner table in 15-20 minutes...faster than if we drove to the closest fast food joint!

[@sandylandrum401]

My favorite menu item is the Mexican Pizza. Great job on the sauce Sam

[@lindamacmackin60]

I like to make burritos for a Church Breakfast for the Knights of Columbus and your sauce would make it much cheaper for us to make . Like your ideas keep them coming . My wife has made you split pea soup and pass it on .

[@carolynavery2917]

Chicken tacos, cheese beef Dorito taco, and the apple empanada

[@philw7174]

Terrific video, thank you Sam and Jonathan. Have a great year. Happy trails!

[@J8n3eyr3]

The Dollar Tree taco sauce in the dressing-style bottle is an excellent dupe for Taco Bell mild sauce.

[@adamstorer5717]

Excellent video sir and great job speaking to the multiple steps involved. You were both descriptive and genuine. My daughters just headed to the kitchen to try to make it too. 😎 One thing: Nothing says how many pounds of beans you used, or am I missing it?

[@pamlee2734]

Sauce looks great. Thanks for the bean tutorial too. Presentation was excellent! Thanks for sharing.

[@justnana2256]

My favorite used to be the seven layer burrito which they no longer make. I also no longer go to Taco Bell or any fast food place ever. The price is way too much for the much smaller amount you get. Same with any restaurant. Sounds like a great recipe, I'll try it. Thanks. ❤️👍🇺🇲

[@sharondesfor5151]

Hey, Sam, how about every 30 recipes or so, you write them all out put out a recipe ebook/PDF? Charge maybe $12 and add purchases to your starving student fund.

[@gaylegrindle7977]

Thank you. Looks delicious. Mexico pizza.

[@kathyhall1514]

Sam, I love your videos! They are easy to follow and full of info. THANKS!

[@weedygarden]

Sam, I always enjoy your cooking shows and this one didn't disappoint. I am saving this recipe for your sauce. My favorite thing to order from Taco Bell is a burrito supreme. I do like to get their pizza, but I am much more likely to get a burrito. If Taco Bell had a smothered burrito in green chili, that would be what I would be the most likely to order. I can get smothered burritos at other restaurants in my area, but I really should learn to make my own.

[@nessasnook]

Never thought of making this but hey ........ I have the IP and all that stuff to go in it :) Thanks Sam for another great video!

[@elizabethnegrete9325]

Thank you for sharing the recipe. You are really good on tv.

[@christinepeet3582]

Thank you, Sam, will try the recipe tonight with my two teenage sons!

[@roniniowa1661]

Hey Sam! I don't have an Insta-pot. If i'm just going to put my beans into a pot of water on the stove top, how long should I cook them for?

[@LEDewey_MD]

Sam is a natural when it comes to making these videos! Enjoyed this very much! ❤

[@amberluttrelll8359]

I will definitely be making this for my kids. And myself

[@keithgarland3404]

I thought Ben was going to take his fingers off when he started eating lol, well done Ben, they looked awesome.

[@alicelake4730]

Thanks for sharing your recipe, Sam!

[@sandrataylor8966]

Thank you Sam. I always enjoy your videos & look forward to trying this recipe. My fave Taco Bell food is a green burrito and has been for decades. My 1st fave from 50 years ago was the old Bell burger.

[@derr2438]

50 years ago??? Do you remember when tacos were five for a dollar? When I was a college student Taco Bell saved my life!!! Or I think one taco and a carton of milk was also a dollar. Often either of these meals were my ONLY meal for the day as a poor college student!

[@unforcedrhythmsforall]

Hooray, Sam is back in the kitchen! And these look delish!!

[@gaylegrindle7977]

Good morning have a great day.

[@willowridgealpines]

I love this video! My favourite hands down is a burrito supreme. Thanks Sam

[@derekrichard9189]

Great video Sam !! I’m pretty excited to try that sauce…

[@victorialg1270]

Sam thanks for another frugal meal.

[@KellyS_77]

My two favorites were bean burritos and quesadillas. Both are easily replicated at home, so I haven’t been to Taco Bell in ages.

[@MicheleSinclair-xh9oo]

How long do you soak the beans before rinsing and putting in the instapot?

[@richhansen7814]

Great Job as always, Sam!

[@amberluttrelll8359]

I love Sams cooking videos

[@onfire3433]

That sounds pretty good but I am a Mexican so the way I make my salsas is the Mexican way, which is no sugar and they taste a lot better with out it. Plus, I add cilantro, instead of cumin to my salsas.

[@heatherhoselton2672]

Bean burritos extra cheese! My boys love Taco Bell so I’m definitely gonna try this! Thanks

[@marygallagher3428]

Great job on the burritos Sam - they look delicious!

[@debrajones5305]

Yum thanks Sam!

[@midtennprepper6200]

That looks good I'm going to have to try that sauce

[@adamm770]

Good job Sam!

[@lizadivine3785]

I know what i will eat tomorrow! YUM!

[@debwoodward]

Thank you. ❤️

[@KatMa664]

I don’t eat meat, so my favorite thing to order is the bean burrito. And that looks delicious. I’d much rather make it at home then get the teeny tiny ones that they have been serving lately. Plus, I like to put sour cream in mine. Lots of sour cream.

[@shannoncraig509]

Taco Bell doesn't agree with me too much, but they have (had? it has been a while) a potato-based burrito I liked. Another thing I would suggest with flour tortillas is to use them for hot dogs. I roll them up like a burrito but with one end open. It is less wasted condiments and easier to eat for me. Also there is a nice bread to hot dog ratio with the Member's mark quarter pound hot dogs.

[@jimmorgan6837]

Thank you! Great video! Appreciate the tips.

[@missdenim6590]

Looks great 👍

[@gardennut]

Great job Sam!

[@AnnBearForFreedom]

00:13 "I am Sam today"? Who are you tomorrow??? Who are you, Sam, WHO? I demand to know who you are, Sam! - wink -

[@vickif593]

Wow, what a great presents! I love Taco Bell’s burrito supreme❤

[@sherrystanley4462]

My fave is the crunch wrap…except last time I ordered it, it seemed like a left over. No crunch..almost yucky! Sad.

[@disasterduck13]

Thanks for the video

[@marilynweber7957]

do you set your ip to keep warm or not - so when it is done it cools off right - so you do not use the keep warm on??

[@Picit-13]

just made the red sauce for dinner tonight!! Seems to be pretty good!!

[@TheProvidentPrepper]

It is way yummy!

[@carriejones9890]

Chalupas!

[@brightstarr57]

Looks yummy!

[@emilystevens7837]

Thanks Sam - Stay Spicy!

[@4Shell]

What bean did he use?

[@lucyalderman422]

Your volume is fluctuating from fairly high to low and back

[@robinm2457]

15 minutes on high pressure?

[@Non_Of_U_business]

so you used the home made recipe to make the red sauce....but only at the end you splatter a brand name hot sauce from retail....so your opinion on your home made sauce was altered. Yep! that sounds like a real chef to me. Also the cheddar cheese only tastes better when the burrito bean are still hot to melt that cheese. When your sauce is completed I blend it in blender to remove the chunks.

[@ghostyty3071]

Taco Bell food is VERY process I rather have your Burrito any day.

[@kimberlyallen9557]

Crunch wraps are my favorite. Taco pizza is my second d favorite but they no longer make it. I no longer go to any restaurants to eat any more just to expensive for the size they serve and the taste is awful at most pla especially now. Just not worth the price if I you can't stand the taste to eat it.

[@brucelarson4283]

Actually it doesn't make me sad!!!....so much as PISS!!!!!! Me offfffffffff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👿👿👿👿👿👿
