I know I seem cocky about some things - but I look at it this way - I know what I know - and I know what I'm good at. Sure, I've made some flop food before, but more often than not the stuff that I make is - "nom nom" - and every once in a while - like today - I make borderline orgasm food...
It started out as me wanting to make tacos. Simple enough - I make kick ass tacos. I heat two soft corn tortillas with a slice of cheese between. Then I put some cooked chopped steak, homemade pico de gallo, and lettuce - done - simple - yummy. But today I had an itch to scratch - I wanted to cook.
I grabbed some angus sirloin and cut it up into about 1 inch cubes. I browned those in a hot pan. Then I added a beer. I've got a cream stout in the fridge right now, though any beer would do. And a can of pineapple. A few big pinches of salt, some chili powder, cumin, a couple bunches of fresh oregano and a couple cloves of crushed garlic. Bring all that to a boil - then cover and reduce the heat and let that simmer for a couple hours until the meat breaks down. Then remove the lid and increase the heat and let the liquid reduce until you're happy.
Pico! 2 tomatoes diced - half an onion diced - 1 Medium Jalapeno cored and diced - cilantro chopped (I like a lot) - juice of 1/2 to 1 lime - salt Carefully mix all that together, cover and refrigerate - don't skip chilling! It helps marry the flavors!
I like these organic yellow corn tortillas you can find at whole foods...but whatever... Take two of those and put some yummy cheese in between (sliced mozzarella is good, colby-jack is better) put that on a hot skillet until it's hot then flip it, take it out when it's done. Throw some bomb-ass meat, pico, and lettuce on the tortilla and eat it. Black beans are a good healthy side.
You know that's right!
