Mitch isn’t basic. He just enjoys the simpler things in life.

Poor Mitch. You're always calling him basic but he just knows you'll make something awesome no matter what he says. 😂

As someone who lives 10 miles from Tijuana Mexico I will say that even though this recipe is far from traditional it looks amazing and I will be trying it out this week . Thanks Andy

[emmanuelaemejuru]

One day Mitch will just say "food" and a whole banquet will be prepared for him 😂

[sshah]

As a full fledged fajita eater, this looks like a super quick way to make fajitas without busting’ out the grill.

Steve Irwin and yourself are by far my 2 fave aussies (Oh and Kylie) love your channel 👍🏻😍

[smerk]

I am not sure I'd call that a fajita so much as maybe a burrito with fajita style filling, but it sure looks tasty!

omg realizing i have all those ingredients and now i know what i'm making for dinner tonight 😋

[spencergallucci]

As a midwestern American i gotta say you were missing jalapenos, lime, and chipotle seasoning. When i do fajitas they are on the stove top, not in the oven, with neutral or olive oil yellow onion, a couple bell peppers, jalapeno, garlic and the meat cut into bite sized pieces (be it chicken, pork or steak) the veggies cooked together first for a little bit with salt, pepper, cumin, smoked paprika and chipotle powder, then the sliced meat (seasoned the same before hand) thrown in and simmered with a splash of Mezcal til cooked through. The tortillas need to be heated over the stove til pliable then hit with fresh avocado or fresh guacamole, and sour cream then serve the fajitas over that and hit with a squeeze of fresh lime. Cheese is optional, either chihuahua if you wanna be authentic or a mexican cheese blend from the market. Typically salsa and queso are served with chips, along with refried beans and rice or elotes

Lmao while Mitch is just sitting there editing his videos 😂 inception!

Basic Mitch is my new best friend now, babe can wait

[Voltikz]

Notice how Andy didn't measure a single thing? That's because he's cooking with his heart.. he loves his basic mitch 😅

[ipanovska]

I love the babe videos, but the basic Mitch series is great for finding ideas for dinner when it’s 9pm and I’m too exhausted to go to the store or cook anything involved. I’ll be having fajitas tonight, thanks Mitch!

The one thing I love is right after he touches the raw chicken he holds his hand to the side not to contaminate anything. Love the extra details that most wouldn’t care to bother with.
