Just as an idea with these bowls with salsa or sauce, I always store the sauce cup right bang in the middle, so there is that hole when I remove them from the container before I microwave it. This ensures that the meal can be heated very evenly throughout the meal prep container instead of being concentrated on the perimeter very quickly
Just a few recommendations to make it even easier. From a Mexicana that usually cooks ground beef like this with vegetables. One. No oil is required when cooking ground beef. It has its natural oils. If you want to use the natural oils to cook everything, just add very little water. . . Or Add in garlic and onions diced into meat along with seasonings as it's cooking. Let it release the natural waters and oils. You can add some if needed. Once onion and jalapenos/ chilies cook with ground beef and seasonings, then add the cabbage/veggies last.. You can do it all together and save that time. The rice would really be the only thing separately cooked other than the salsa.
Love your videos! Blows my mind how people need a full instruction on how to eat though lol “pull out the like and salsa before putting into the microwave” lol
Dragged out the large cast iron and made this recipe tonight. Honestly, I expected this to be a serviceable meal option, but nothing mind-blowing. I underestimated this recipe. Truly fantastic! I added half tsp cayenne to the spice mix for a touch of heat. Thanks, bud.
As a European, I'd like to thank you for giving alternatives for things like the pablano pepper, as we in fact do not have those here 🙂 Learning how to make breakfast sausage last week was super helpful too!!
Poblano pepper is being commonly used in USA due to low price, and relatively low heat (correct me if I'm wrong). You surely can use Green Bell Peppers as a substitute, and adjust heat to your liking. Cheers.
@@PanAndrzejek yes Poblanos are not hot at all and also, I mean they got the source literally next door so importing them is cheap as it doesn’t travel much.
When I do the rice, I’ll put the lime juice and the cilantro in the rice cooker with the rice so the rice is flavored nicely. I’ll also add a bay leaf and salt just for a nice flavor.
I have been making the meal preps for the past two weeks and they have been amazing. I love your content and live that it splits evenly into 5 days. You truly are a king
Made these for meal prep this week and it is so good. I added hot sauce to mine for heat. My fiancé who hates veggies also thought it was good. Thanks for another awesome recipe!
Omg this was so good. You make meal preping so much bearable. I also love that the meals are higher in calories instead of some skimpy 200- 300 calorie meal. Thank you !!!
Would like to thank you for the great videos and share how they have helped me. These videos have got my ass back to eating the way I should be. I've been as consistent as I've ever been when I make meals inspired by these videos, been a solid 2 months and I'm down 15lbs while remaining full and very satisfied in the taste department. These meals don't get boring to me. Thank you for the motivation and inspiration!
If you're someone like me who's on a low carb high protein. I didn't add the meat or rice in to the pan. Instead I weighed my portions for the meat and rice to ensure I'm getting the high protein and low carb. Once I was satisfied I then started scooping in the rest and mixed them in there containers. Little effort but when the carbs in almost you daily intake...it helps 😅
I gotta say, I am SO GLAD I found your channel. Your meal preps are the ONLY ones I make. They’re actually flavorful, low cal, save me $, and you know how to make a fine salsa, I knew I could trust a fellow austinite.
Just tried this. Was pretty sloppy with my veggies since I have minimal experience in the kitchen, but I'm hooked now. Funny I forgot about the salsa verde and just finished a serving in 5 minutes without it because of how good this is.
Hey dude, love your stuff! Just a one improvement idea from a european: could you possibly mention the dry weight for rice whenever rice is cooked for recipe? Would make it easier to follow the recipe spot on by the video. Thanks and keep up the good stuff!
I like this bowl idea here, Josh. I do have a possible suggestion regarding the cooking process of the vegetables. Now i don't know if you were going for the oil/spice immersion here because I totally understand that it definitely gives a much deeper, thicker coating, but with a beef bowl like this a little bit more richness non-spice related can be attained by just cooking the onions as well as the garlic together in the oil prior to the addition of the powdered spices. Oil - Onion/Garlic - Cooked until Caramelized - Poblano + S/P/C/P - Cabbage until wilted
Made this today, but I keep the rice seperate and it was so damn good. I've made three of the meals you guidelined and I think salsa verde beef rivals the firecracker beef bowl as the best bowl.
Stumbled on your channel and am now bingeing it. You may have a video that answers this already that I just have not found yet, but where would a brand new meal prep'r start? The prep community is handy at this already but new to it... where to start... good channel, sub'd.
Despite some of the design annoyances I gotta say that this new iteration of the Ikea 365 container series is a MASSIVE improvement compared to the all plastic bowls they used to be. I've got the same sized containers and run my meal prep so I get about a half dozen of those for my week.
Thanks for all of the recipes. I have been making your breakfast oats and various asian dishes for the last few weeks and they all turn out great. My boyfriend who didn't believe healthy food could taste good also really enjoys the food, so thank you! Can you make a video on air fryer ginger beef? I don't think ginger beef is very common in the states, at least not where I live, and I'd love to have a recipe where I can make it myself!
I made this on the weekend. I like heat, so I put in an extra jalapeño. Turned out great. I couldn't find salsa verde at the store, so I just went with medium regular salsa. This meal is actually pretty good even without the salsa anyway. Will make it again for sure.
I don't know if this is bad or not, but I put a Pyrex container (like the IKEA ones you have in this video) into a Zwilling medium bag and suck the air out for freezing. I was going to buy the Zwilling glass containers, but they aren't really cost effective. The medium bag fits the 6 cup Pyrex container. The odd shape may cause the bags to wear out quicker? Not sure, but is okay for now.
If you have a Japanese market near you, check them out for pretty good food containers. Mitsuwa has a selection of sectioned lunchbox containers as well as traditional bento boxes. Daiso too even. They won’t be as nice but they’re still better than any US dollar store product.
Just meal Prep this!! thanks for keeping me Healthy my dude! big goals as far as fitness trying to eat better. Only thing i changed was using whole brown rice!
Another great video recipe! Thank you for posting Josh. I've tried many of your dishes and they are all very tasty. I do meal prep every week and take the food to work in order to save money and eat healthy. Keep up the good work!
Hey Mr. Cortis, thank you so much for all the quality free content here first of all. I do have a doubt. When you say GET 450GR OF COOKED RICE, does that mean I have to weigh it BEFORE COOKING or after cooking?
After cooking. Different rice absorbs different amounts of water so I prefer to do the measurement afterward because people in the past have said when it’s measured raw they end up with too much or too little
Thank you for the meal prep recipes! It's only been a week, but I've lost 7lbs! Currently am cheating on the cooking thing by quartering a cooked chicken from Walmart, and plating it with a mushroom/eggplant/shallot/new baby potatoes stir fry mix.
I don't know how much weight you have to lose, but 7 lbs in a week is considered... extreme. Most people lose a significant amount of muscle if they sustain a near starvation level diet, which eventually slows down your BMR. Be careful
@@ZiPolishHammer True, but typically when someone makes a drastic change in their diet, a drastic amount of weight is lost during the first week or two. After that it levels out to something more conservative. Hopefully what @memine2022aussi is experiencing is that initial spike. As you mentioned, a consistent 7 lbs a week is not likely and takes near starvation to do.
Took me a few seconds to comprehend what was about to happen when the tongs came out. I’ll never be the same
I'm scarred for life
what have i just witnessed
Never change keep the trollz alive
I still don’t know what happened. Maybe I don’t want to accept it 😁😅.
@@angie_getsfit22 He ate it with the tongs, from 6:06.
Just as an idea with these bowls with salsa or sauce, I always store the sauce cup right bang in the middle, so there is that hole when I remove them from the container before I microwave it. This ensures that the meal can be heated very evenly throughout the meal prep container instead of being concentrated on the perimeter very quickly
That’s actually extremely smart. Definitely going to do that next time👌🏾
👍👍👍
BIG BRAIN MOVE 🤯
This guy microwaves 💯
just dont microwave it, mcirowave is dogshit lol

depending on the ratio of your ground beef of lean to fat.
@@carlitosjuarez221 I've done it with 97%lean. Still works, just add a little water if needed.

Are you sure you don't have the dried version, ancho?
@@PanAndrzejek yes Poblanos are not hot at all and also, I mean they got the source literally next door so importing them is cheap as it doesn’t travel much.
Other cooking channels are fun too but I love how practical and no fuss you are.
Also how hard was it to eat a full meal with those tongs?
When I do the rice, I’ll put the lime juice and the cilantro in the rice cooker with the rice so the rice is flavored nicely. I’ll also add a bay leaf and salt just for a nice flavor.
I tried this but my cilantro came out a unappetizing color because of how long it cooked with the rice.
Great recipe! I swapped in ground turkey for the beef and cauliflower rice. It was delicious
Amazing timing for this video, was just about to head to the grocery store. Will be cooking this up shortly!
Whoop whoop 🙌

You’re a menace bro. Love it.
I'm gonna start bringing tongs to work as my lunch-eating utensil.
This is the tastiest thing I've ever made. The cabbage works so well in here that it makes me wonder why Chipotle doesn't offer it instead of lettuce.
I would love to version of this done with Salsa Roja. This looks freaking delicious too though 😮
Made this today, but I keep the rice seperate and it was so damn good. I've made three of the meals you guidelined and I think salsa verde beef rivals the firecracker beef bowl as the best bowl.
Every recipe video is a new chance to learn about unorthodox utensil techniques. Thanks Josh!

I made this and I can’t lie I am so excited to eat it. lol 😂 it took me longer than 45 mins but I’m slow and a beginner. Well worth it to me though 🎉😊
I thought the tongs were unnecessary to just mix the dish, then I realized they were the best utensil for eating this meal. Thank you.
best meal prep channel ive seen! i love how practical all of your recipes are.
I love that you give explanations on how to prep everything cuz I have 0 cooking fundamentals, I hardly know how to use a knife tbh
Your videos have changed my life. Thank you
The fan so the camera doesnt fog up is a fantastic idea, thanks for explaining
Josh, I really appreciate your videos and your easy to follow recipes. Don't change a thing about your presentation. It works! Thank you.

Just come across your channel and it’s pretty decent. Good job
this with tapatio also slaps. suprisingly filling, although I did eat it with 4 cups of milk. thanks!
i can smell this video and damn it’s making me hungry
This looks really good and simple to make. My hubby will love these to take to work
Frickin awesome meal!! Made it yesterday and am set for the week!! Thanks dude!

Meal prep version of Shepard’s pie would be pretty neat.
I'd like to see a meal prep version of a chickpea, lentils, and rice dish, for heartiness and economy. Thanks for all your great mealprep recipes!
My mouth is freaking dripping ! that looks delicious!
I've been really liking the deconstructed big Macs and firecracker beef but this looks amazing!
This channel is criminally underrated
This was super good! big recommendation
I'm with you dude, it's hard finding good meal prep containers.
comment for your algorithm. thanks for all you do.
Thank you for your support 😎
this got me into food prepping hard. delicious and filling, way better than fast food and so easy to make ahead. thanks bro!
Im using some tenderized carne asada in my prep and adding in the salsa verde in the mix.
i'm new to cooking in general, and i wanna try cooking for myself. Thanks for the inspiration 😄
Id like to see more mexican meal prep recipes. Thank you
I found lime juice and chopped Cilantro pre mixed. I want my kitchen time to end as quickly as possible so I'm thinking a win here.
This one looks great. Going to try it with turkey.
Whoop whoop 🙌
i threw some pickled jalapenos on top, about 3 per as a garnish. loved it. next time i think ill add even more as 3 just wernt enough XD
I'd love to see Meatloaf with mash potatoes and vegetables.
Also, Country fried steak and mash potatoes with gravy.
uses the clam to eat it :D i love it

woow so delicious yummy😋 and mouth watering recipe t.......🎉😊stankx for sharing stay connected
bro i just ate this 1 min ago thank you so much im almost crying its so good. For the sauce I used Melinda's cayenne sauce and it is so damn good
Rocking the ikea meal prep containers there? Was surprised to find those to be the cheapest/best choice on the market
You absolute legend. The recipe sounds great, and eating with a regulation size pair of tongs is super normal.
Love you’re videos dude! You’ve made meal prep less of a stress inducing nightmare for me. Keep up the good work!
Just ordered the same induction cook top...done with crappy stoves. About to meal prep like crazy. Thanks for the videos!
What induction cook top is he using. I’m not seeing it on his amazon store?
@@angie_getsfit22 It was the Duxtop 1800w. I've been using it for about 3 days now with cast iron and it is great!
Couldn't make up my mind on what I wanted to cook this week for lunches but now I know. Thankyou 😊
😎😎
Just made it right now and really is tasty. THANK YOU!

Came for the fork technique Got tong technique. 5/7 perfect, would watch again.
Tnx man, great recipe..Can u make some meal prep videos with fish as source of protein (salmon, tuna)..or u dont like fish :)

i like to fridge them without the tops to cool them down quick. cant stack like that tho, so you gotta make some room
Very excited to try this one out. Looks great.
i always look forward to your videos every sunday!
Thank you so much 😎
This is some very useful stuff you've been uploading! Thanks 👍🏻
Oh hell yeah, this looks delicious! Definitely going to be making this one later in the week. Thanks!
Thank you 😎
I made it yesterday for the week and it is goooooood!
Thanks youtube algorithm! Solid subscribe, going to create this next week :)
Looks great!!
Could you do a video on all your meal prep containers?
Great one, I’ll be sure to give this one a try next week ✌🏻
Noooooo the tongs! Can't wait to try this one though I'm still eating your Korean chicken stew which was also delicious.
I come here for the great recipes and to see what method Josh will use to eat his meal.
Spoons! 🥄
Can't wait to cook this one! Looks tasty a/f.
