And if you always add enough liquid that nothing ever burns in the crock pot then you can also figure out how much liquid add to food on the stove.

Great recipe, a few points from someone who grew up catering Mexican food - 1) when reheating, put between two plates to form a seal. This way you don’t need to waste a sheet of parchment paper every time you eat this. 2) don’t fry them before you freeze them, fry them before you eat them. Microwave to heat throughout, then fry to get that crisp. If you fry beforehand, it will be soggy after freezing. 3) let them cool on a cookie rack. 4) my favorite way to eat this is with fried eggs and salsa (this is easy if you are already frying it when you eat it). For an extra $0.75 you can really turn it into a satisfying meal (eggs have a lot of protein, salsa has a lot of flavor with minimal calories). Huevos rancheros mi amigo. 5) Go nuts on the scale. My family makes literally hundreds of these at once, filling 10-20 gallon freezer bags. They last months when frozen (I assume, we eat them before it’s ever been an issue). This is our main calorie source. 6) I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings… but I died inside when he did not pour off the water from the beans. We pour it off and replace it with new hot water, which almost completely removes the digestion issues that cause gas. (Of course, the authentic thing to do is replace it with lard…). Or, if you’re concerned about losing nutrition, at least soak them overnight (in the fridge) and pour that water off before boiling. But I absolutely concur that canned refried beans are inedible. I cannot believe people eat that; it tastes like how dog food smells.

@@ntolman it isn’t as quick as just microwaving them, but if you are frying eggs already there is no additional time. Just be sure to microwave first to heat the middle, and then fry. Having them pre-fried doesn’t do much for them, because freezing them and thawing them out turns the fried part soggy. Also, if you are making 200 of them, it takes to long to fry them beforehand. My recommendation is to not fry them before freezing, and then decide if you want to fry them or not when you reheat them.

Don’t forget the price of rent or a mortgage to be able to own a stove and the cost of air conditioning and heating to make the kitchen bearable to work in. You’ve also got the cost of cleaning the kitchen and the dishes when you’re done cooking. The price of utensils and a blender and glassware to hold the burritos. The fridge to keep the burritos from rotting. It’s so much more expensive to make the burritos on your own than buying Taco Bell or canned burritos.

A bean and cheese burrito from there has 2/3 the calories, lower carbs, several grams less fat, and same amount of fiber. It is quite a bit lower on protein and much higher in sodium, but really not bad other than the sodium.

here's a tip for ya: do not add salt in the water before cooking beans. Add salt only after the beans have been cooked. This will cut down the cooking time from 3 hours to like an hour tops. And this goes for all legumes, cooking them in salty water DRASTICALLY increases the time they have to be cooked for until soft.

​@joshua.market According to my AI cooking assistant, no: The notion that adding salt to the water when boiling beans or legumes increases their cooking time is more myth than fact. In reality, the impact of salt on the cooking process is a bit more nuanced. Adding salt to the soaking water (before cooking) can help the beans cook more evenly by promoting a softer texture. The salt ions can replace some of the magnesium and calcium ions in the bean skins, which makes the skins more permeable and less tough. This process, known as brining, can result in beans that are more evenly cooked and less likely to burst open during cooking.

Not sure on the cooking times, but salting beans before cooking leads to a better product. It’s not always about what is faster. -According to Cook's Illustrated, it all has to do with the calcium and magnesium ions in bean skins. As the beans soak and cook, sodium ions in salted water will gradually replace some of those calcium and magnesium ions, which in turn allows for greater water penetration into bean cells. This is particularly true of the tough outer skins of beans. When unsalted beans cook, their interiors can end up swelling faster than their skins can keep up with, resulting in skins that rupture instead of enlarging along with the rest of the bean. Salted beans will grow proportionally, resulting in fully tender, creamy, intact beans that are well seasoned throughout.

Nice recipe! as a tip from a brazilian that eats beans almost everyday, soak your beans for 8 to remove the fart compounds and make them quicker to cook, with a pressure cooker you need only 15 minutes cooking to have fresh beans.

When making beans do not add the salt until they are nearly done. They won't be soft if you add salt at the beginning.

Your refried beans look very good. Minor quibble, but there is no need to horizontally slice an onion when dicing it. The vertical cuts from root to stem julienne the onion, so a perpendicular cut dices them. Turning the knife 90 degrees over and cutting inward doesn't make your dice smaller, it just makes it inconsistent, and would be a "dangerous" cut for somebody who is new / not confident with a knife.

You can add eggs or egg white to these and it works pretty well, same with chicken, ground turkey, beef ect. All you need to do to keep that meat, egg or whatever moist and not dried out as it cooks and mix it into the beans after that. When you reheat the beans will keep the meat or eggs from drying out. Even scrambled eggs will remain mostly moist if a bit rubbery from the microwave.

My local tortilla factory has 18in flour tortilla at 100 calories per tortilla. My last meal prep was chicken bacon ranch wraps. At like 600ish calories and 65 grams of protein. Had 2 bacon slices, chicken breast, pepper jack cheese slice, power greens, tomato and cottage cheese ranch. I drive semis and I eat them cold and are still banging. I marinate the chicken in a little olive oil, lemon juice, and spiceology Greek freek, and cayenne powder. Best on a charcoal grill to get some charred bits.

From what I understand, doing an overnight soak and drain before cooking will do a lot to remove anti nutrients and improve digestibility with beans. Another tip would be to use or mix in black soy beans to lower the net carbs. This will raise the price though. But if you're adding meat and green chilies, you don't notice the difference much at all. I have a mild allergy to legumes, so I try to avoid them altogether.

When it comes to canned refried beans (or nearly anything canned really) I end up adding my own seasonings and etc to them since you're totally right - they taste bland. That said, watching you cook yours has made me remember how delicious home made refried beans truly are compared to store bought. While I'll still go store bought if I'm strapped for time, I'll make more of an effort to *make* time and cook them right.

@exercise4cheatmeals sometimes my tortillas won’t stay together when I brown them. one thing you can do to make doubly sure the tortillas stick together when you brown them is to put juuust a sprinkle of cheese on the flap after you just rolled everything. Think of the glue on a mail envelope. When that cheese melts and then browns, the tortilla is guaranteed to stay closed.

Solid video! Love how cost effective this is, if youre trying to get that price down more, making flour tortillas at home isnt that hard. Yes, much more work than making the beans from scratch, but i reckon you could get the price down significantly. Also, that dude complaining about simmering beans burning your house down is crazy! I thought he was going to mention the cost of keeping the stove on, not burning the house down lol.
