So... he has many allergies but still have a cooking chanel. Love that.

I used to work prep at chipotle. The rice is just oiled right after being cooked, it's a cup and a half of oil for a single batch of rice, which is about 4 third pans, then each third pan is tossed with a third of a cup of citrus, which is just half lemon juice half lime juice, a cup of chopped cilantro, and 2 tablespoons of salt. For brown rice you cut the citrus and salt in half. We don't cook it with lemons or any strange stuff I've seen. That doesn't mean those methods are wrong, just that's not how it gets made at chipotle. We just washed it and dropped it with bay leaves, a single bay leaf will be more than enough for a home batch. Also, running down the list: the chicken thigh marinade is a mixture of adobo, honey, salt, and a bit of oil, steak is just the adobo, and adobo is basically ground up paste made from chipotle peppers. That stuff josh had you mix up in the food processor was a kind of adobo with a lot of added flavor, if you're missing some of those ingredients that aren't the chili peppers, it's fine. Beans just get a healthy splash of lemon and a tablespoon of salt per third pan, pintos used to have bacon in them but they don't anymore. If you don't know how much you need, underseason and add it to taste. Fajita veg is just sliced onions and bell peppers thrown on the plancha or in a pan with a small amount of oil, salt, and oregano, and then leave them alone. Go do something else for at least 3-5 minutes. Don't touch them, don't move them. Don't add too much oil. You're trying to caramelize and even char them a bit, and they'll just turn out floppy and bad if you touch them. The plancha was hot enough to cook like 10 pounds of chicken thighs in less than 10 minutes, you will probably not burn them on your home stove unless you're a true maniac. A deep third pan are those long pans you see most stuff in when you go in. They're all based on hotel pans, a third pan is one third of a hotel pan, a sixth pan is one sixth of one and what we'd put sour cream, hot, and green salsas in, and they can be either deep or shallow. Rices and beans are in deeps, shallows are the ones that are about half as deep. When I left we were phasing out of using those because they didn't properly reach the hot water, so it was harder for them to keep temp. Oh and just salt the fuck out of everything. Like just go ham. A deep third of chicken will get something like a third of a cup of salt on it when it's on the grill. That pan of guac, when it's full, has a full tablespoon of salt in it. The reason chipotle tastes good is we just use a shitload of salt. If yours at home doesn't taste as good, it's because you didn't add enough.

People never show how many dirty dishes these recepies produce.

"as you eat down the shaft" *stares suspiciously I died 😂

I wanna be like David. Not a professional chef, but that doesn’t stop him from trying to cook all these delicious recipes. Wish I was the dedicated and had your work ethic

When you cook bacon, save all the grease. Filter it through a paper towel and you can use it for the lard replacement in the tortillas, just reduce the amount of added salt. The bacon flavor is subtle but they smell amazing and work just as well as lard based tortillas,

I worked at chipotle for two years and i can confirm we never used butter in our rice it lmaooo just lime juice cilantro and salt

David: for thisrecipe you’re gonna need....... the whole grocery store

"The chilli asphixiation" ah, so you lived the mexican experience when the mom starts burning the peppers and the air becomes toxic

I haven't laughed as whole heartedly as I just did in a long time. Your face after you said, "eat down the shaft" really did it for me.

the look on your face when you said "eat down the... shaft" LMAO 🥴 8:50

For my preference the entire time of making homemade tortillas since I was 7 Usually my mom uses nothing or some neutral tasting oil. But if we do have liquid bacon fat it's probably the best tortillas you'll ever eat in your life. If you don't have liquid bacon fat but it's literally not much of a difference between liquid bacon fat vs solid bacon fat but there is a difference between neutral tasting oil vs liquid bacon fat by A LARGE MARGIN.

For tortillas, my grandmother used to use lard, my dad uses vegetable shortening, my sister uses olive oil, and one of my uncle uses bacon fat... So many choices. It's a personal preference, I believe.

Damn, that Current card is gorgeous. I want to join just so I can have a black card with a rainbow border 😂

As someone who has lived in California my entire life and eats Mexican food on the regular, I cannot honestly fathom why anyone would unwrap an entire burrito at once 😂😂

YOU BOUGHT A RICE COOKER I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! :-) :-) Now you gotta learn the method of measuring water for rice by just using your finger!

I’m a kitchen manager for chipotle, the rice recipe is for a deep 1/3rd pan. Which is 1/3 cup of lime/lemon juice (we use a mixture by minutemaid) 1 cup of cilantro and 2 tbsp of salt

I’m sure it’s a great burrito but damn if I’m going to spend $70 and half my day for something I can get for $8 in under a minute.

I have to say david is one of the only cooking youtubers I can watch without losing interest in the video.😊😊💗💗

You know what goes good with that burrito Some Cream cheese

ive been going on a binge of your videos during this quarantine, going all the way back to the 1st ever video, love your channel

I'm sure this comment has been made before... But I will say it anyway... Your unpretentious approach makes cooking good food seem so much easier. I love it!

Now that you have a rice cooker, will you do some "rice cooker one pot meal hacks" type videos? It's always fun to see another take on what you can make with just this one appliance for people who don't have full kitchens!

The burrito of the people. Put those capitalists out of business

I'm never this early. I love the variety in the recipes you are able to make since you have expanded out from just doing buzzfeed/ tasty taste tests. BTW, can't wait to see your hair once its professionally done 😜

I can’t imagine being allergic to beans. That must suck. What irony of being a food youtuber with a whole list of food allergies.

David I’ve had such a rough week.thank you so much. I really needed this.

pls do more of joshua’s recipes i love seeing you making themmmm

I appreciate David taking all these time to test it out for us mere mortals

I made this joshua weissman but better recipe for me and my dad it came out great. My dad loved it and it was one of my biggest cooking experiences. Great recipe.

Don't watch David's videos if you're hungry. I want this so bad now

I NEVER skip ads on David's videos!! He deserves so much more 😬😬

Joshua deserves to be the new CEO of Chipotle

What I like to do for tortillas is use melted pork fat. You get the porky flavor, and also a soft and chewy texture that I really like.

Great video as always David, keep it up!!!!

WE HAVE THE SAME PLATES 😂 I love you & your videos ! Can’t wait tell spooky season gotta do some good recipes for us 💕

There's no substitute for manteca when making tortillas. After making them, I like to brush a little melted butter on the top when i stack them.

AYYEEE DAVID IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SOO BAD !!!

I have an eating disorder so I appreciate that you are so open about different foods that you don't like or can't eat.

chipotle 4-5 times a week? that would hurt my wallet lmao

I love that you are testing his but better items. It's nice to get a unbiased opinion.

Just a few hours ago I was thinking “what David is going to prepare this week?” And there you are! Ahah

You should chek out the channel ''De mi rancho a tu cocina'', It would be really interesting to see you make some more traditional mexican food.

I love how you put the ingredients in the video... like show everything you used in the beginning.

Here’s a tip for the tortillas use two round cake pans and line them up with parchment paper put a ball of the tortilla dough and press the two pans together.

I’m not sure what it is about this guy, but I freaking love him. Keep the great videos going my friend!

I've had that same rice cooker for 7 years and it makes perfect rice every time.

i'm vegan so i can't do most of the recipes you make, but your videos are so interesting that i watch them anyway, just for the entertainment

As a Filipino, I am proud of him buying a rice cooker so as to not ruin the rice. At least he's better at cooking rice than *some* out there

It looks amazing the way he gulps down that shaft...

He should make a Beef Wellington VS including Gordon Ramsey's beef Wellington

Has David done any mythical kitchen recipes yet? Because he so should!

I absolutely love this channel

I think david's the only youtuber that I don't just fast forward through the ads lol he somehow makes it interesting to listen to

Chipotle IG has the rice recipe 😋 My grandma would make us homemade flour tortillas , she always used bacon grease or lard. I prefer lard honestly 😊

Hi, David! Love your content!! If I could ask one thing, it would be to add captions to your videos!!

Chipotle is super good for real. High quality, very healthy options, and delicious. You have good taste.

whenever David gets a sponsor my heart just goes 💓💘💞💝💕💖💞💘

When I watch youtuber make flour tortilla I always have to remeber me that you dont have "comales". 😂

In my family we normally use vegetable shortening for our flour tortillas... Also, you can only make your tortillas as big as your "Comal" (pan) otherwise they won't fit or cook evenly.

Chipotle Rice is very simple. It’s made in a rice cooker with water and bay leaves. Then after it’s done it’s coated with sunflower oil. Then the rice is mixed with citrus juice (mixture of lime and lemon juice), cilantro and salt. That’s it

i cannot believe this man compared a burrito to a shaft 😂

Nice! I've been on a Mexican food kick lately so this is perfect timing

I would LOVE to see you try your hand at sourdough bread baking! Pleassseeee ❤️❤️❤️

I always expect B-roll at the end

You should try the mythical kitchen in n out Mac and cheese!

At chipotle we used a lime/lemon juice for the rice it also had a lil sweetness to it

I made this recipe. It was delicious and the tortillas rolled just fine

White rice: 2 cups of cilantro, 1/2 of lemon and lime juice (it comes mixed in a 1-gallon bottle already from minute maid) Add the white rice Mix it then add 2 table spoon of salt and mix more until the salt is fully mixed with the rice

Great food come with great ingredients, there is no secrets 😊❤️

totally recommend using lard if you don’t like keeping bacon fat around for your tortillas!! it also works lovely when making tamales

Ive done ethans Chlebowski's butter tortillas, it was delicious

8:46 That face after he said "shaft"

I was just thinking about your videos then i refreshed my yt feed and there it is

Lmao the way he looks at the camera after saying shaft made me crack up

Noooo I’m late to a video. I’ll comment anyway. David. I don’t know if you saw my comment on your last video but a lot of people want you to make the tasty 5 year anniversary cake. No matter what food you make you always manage to put a smile on my face and others. Keep up the good work!

used to work at chipotle and hoestly never used a recipe when mixing rice except like a cup of cilantro

i really like chipotle as well and would love to be able to repeat at home. I would not havve the patience to make the marinade from scratch. There is not a chipotle near me so I could enjoy it more often.

period david!!!

One of my favorite RU-vidrs EVER.

Former manager for Chipotle here--the rice made there is pretty simple. Cook rice as you did in a rice cooker, open lid when done, drizzle a neutral oil over the top, allow to rest for 10 minutes and absorb the oil. Then add lemon-lime juice, salt and cilantro. I couldn't give specific measurements because everything is done is batches in-restaurant.

David: unwrap it as you eat down the shaft David: *looks at me* Me: 😳

I just watched Joshua‘s video omg

Do the Island cake! They look very beautiful ❤️

tip for making rice: add a dash of oil with the water. My mums rice always turns out so fluffy and delicious.

I make the chicken with the chipotle peppers, guajilo peppers, lime, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper, and Greek yogurt. It's delicious for chicken sandwichs or on salads. I know the marinade is significantly changed but it's still delicious.

I work there here’s the rice recipe - white or brown rice made boiled with bay leaf - cilantro mixed with lemon and lime juice and salt - sunflower oil

Listening to that intro... I couldn't help but think of JaRule... 🤔

I feel you with all the allergies. I’m allergic to melons, gluten, dairy, and vitamin C. I was gluten free and vegan for 3 years. It was rough.

David, let’s see if I got you beat on food allergies (though I don’t let any of them stop me, except beans). I’m allergic to: turkey, lamb, avocados, tomatoes, strawberries, oranges, peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, cashews, Brazil nuts, barley, corn, cottonseed, malt, rice, rye, wheat, hops, garlic, onion, mushrooms, mustard, sesame, all legumes (beans), carrots, cauliflower, white potato, sweet potato, and lettuce. One thing I’m not allergic to? Coconut.

thx for the burrito tip

Im glad you finally bought a rice cooker. The rice was perfect

Finally someone cooking rice correctly. The only thing I'd skip is the strainer coz it's faster to wash the rice in the rice pot itself 😊

Personally I make my tortillas with Butter flavored Crisco sticks, my grandma uses regular crisco sticks but I like the butter flavored ones

8:48 lmao the look that you gave

You clever man! Such a good substitute for beans.

You started off as a relatable cooking channel but you are getting too good 😂

It’s basically 2 table spoons of salt 1/2 cup of lime juice and 2 cups cilantro however given the size of the rice it’s a giant ass bowl so probably teaspoons in this case versus table

I used to work @ Chipotle. To make the rice you just cook it then add lots of lime juice, salt, and cilantro. Very simple
