I was so very disappointed when my teenage daughter announced she wasn't having her meatball sub. Here it is for my lunch today. PXL_20220927_195111708.jpg PXL_20220927_195944788.jpg I was having a very bad case of the munchies and a decided to chef it up with some balsamic mushrooms, onions and frying peppers. I do kinda wish wifey hadn't wanted her's either lol.

Store cooked/packaged "Pork Carnitas" meant to be microwaved in the bag...I simmered them in a pan.
They were tender, and salty, but not spicy. A little chipotle and cumin fixed that right up.
I shallow fried the flour tortillas, San Antonio style, aka puffy
Next was lettuce, cilantro, heirloom mini tomatoes, pork, mozzerella and "mexican blend" bag cheese, crispy jalapenos, and a little Tapatio.
They were D-Licious!

Wait, what's this? Jalapeno Duck sauce?? I'm not shopping the the right neighborhood....Gotta visit Southwest (Detroit) more!

Did you make the tortillas, like, four, water, mix, fry? Never done that, though I'd imagine it's not rocket science, but now I wonder why I haven't lol

Ok, last question- What's your wife's rice recipe, as far as spices per cup of rice, or batch, or whatever?
I'm still looking for my favorite rice, and always open to new spice ratios.

El Pato was a mainstay down here. Not just in our household, but everywhere.

My Dad liked to tinker, and would make refrigerator magnets out of the old cans.
He actually won an El Pato can-art contest one time!!

Si. Tortillas are masa (corn) flower and water, pinch of salt, mix, press and no oil on a hot cast iron pan. Nothing like fresh tortillas. We use to buy them from a local tortilleria and would eat them while standing in line. I bought a good press and you may have to find one on Amazon. We have a large and growing Hispanic population so everything for making Hispanic food is readily available here. I use wax paper instead of plastic, works better for me.

I'll have to bug the wife for her rice recipe but neither one of us measures much. Rice/water needs to be close but everything else will be in a dash here, pinch there.

We eat a lot of taco meals. Most of our food is restuarant quality or better, especially our Mexican food. We joke from time to time about opening a food truck and sell nothing but tacos and her rice. We'd get rich?

*correction to the post above: the meat was 8 min a side on the grill and then 1 hr in a pressure cooker then I removed most of the fat.?

Okay, she said 1 Tbl veggie oil, heat in pan and add 1 1/2 C rice. Brown the rice turning and stirring every couple minutes. Add 3 C water, 1 8oz can tomato sauce, 1 Tbl beef bullion or 1 envelope, 1 tsp Tapatio or other hot sauce, reduce heat to low, cover pan and allow the rice to absorb the liquid 20 minutes +/- stirring every few minutes so rice doesn't stick and burn.
Once cooked I add salsa, lettuce, tomato, etc.

We only buy Jasmine rice?

…w fresh diced potatoes, and ground peppercorns in a repurposed shaker. Corned Beef Hash…it’s not just for breakfast anymore. I love it and whenever I do go out for breakfast (mostly while traveling) I always look for a place that serves it. They all vary greatly in quality and taste. I really like this one, best canned version I’ve had.

@Ramjet159 @Frosty78 you Aussies really know how to corn your beef in a can ?
