The Tacos


OK, the Tacos Al pastor last night were amazing. The pork, pineapple and red onion were grilled over hot coals as well as the tortillas. Fresh lime juice and cilantro garnished the tacos as well as fresh salsa made from fire roasted beefsteak tomatoes and jalapenos. I will post the revised recipe tomorrow and let you all try this phenomenal dish. Everything was so fresh and smokey tasting. Truly amazing.

OK, those look even better than the Baja Steak Chalupa.....

You DO know that I'm kidding about the Taco Bell, right? I mean, I make a run for the border on occasion, but do not confuse it with Mexican.

Funny story..... last week, we went bowling with some friends. Afterward, we were going to eat some great Mexican food. They were several minutes late to the restaurant, and when we inquired, we found that the 11-year old doesn't like "Mexican", so she wanted to stop by Taco Bell for takeout. I shit you not......

Of course I knew you were kidding. :)
Taco Bell is great, inexpensive food.
BTW you noticed I did not use the term "Mexican" :)I am always looking for the truly traditional/fresh styles of food. For years I ignored Mexican until we went to Cozumel. Asking Taxi drivers and locals where to eat is the best. One of my goals in life is to build an outdoor kitchen that includes bread oven, grill, cooking grates/surfaces and a mini smokehouse all wood fueled. Who needs artificial flavorings when you got smoke. Oh I found our New Orleans pics, I'll send you the link.
