Pork butt becomes enchiladas 🌄 👏🙌👇 no plating pic, 🦬🦬🦬 was nearly killed in a stampede🔥🔥🐿️

[barelfly]

Hahah! I see a pattern here! And I love it! We have “will it taco!” …. You can start up “will it enchilada!”

[MsTwiggy]

barelfly enchiladas and tacos are some of the most brilliant repurpose for Que! Next would be with eggs. I need to improve my technique maybe try pie format instead of rolling. 🔥🔥🐿️

[Troutman]

I love enchiladas. Left over pork butt and brisket make great ones. Well done gal, well done !!

[Skip]

MAK Pork Chops left from Christmas along with steamed carrots and oven potatoes.

[texastweeter]

Before was braised venison shank over garlic grits. After is venison sunday gravy over rotini.

[hoovarmin]

I'll bet that is a ton of flavor

[texastweeter]

Was pretty good. hoovarmin

[Clawbear57]

Now I can get into that.

[MsTwiggy]

From the roti to verde enchiladas🔥🔥🐿️

[MsTwiggy]

Thank you! The pan was complementary when I bought a set of pans. 🔥🔥🐿️

[barelfly]

That’s good lookin’ enchiladas!!!!!

[WayneT]

Dang, I’m outa touch. Looks like a lasagna pan. 🤣

Leftover Quesobirria "taco" from last night. I did not realize how big these are, they're more a norteno quesadilla than a taco. I did not need two.

if you've ever wondered if a taco will taco, yes, a taco will taco just fine. In fact the corn tortillas made the original taco into a better taco.

Also, this happens around the corner from my house every weekend. You are allowed to be jealous.

[barelfly]

Yes….you definitely did need TWO!!!!!!!! What better than tacos for leftovers!!!!!! Especially that kind of taco!!!!

[hoovarmin]

I am def jealous.

[texastweeter]

Wait, you tacod a...taco?!?!?! Mind blown...

[HotSun]

It's been a while since I've posted food, so here goes.

Before (I think):

This is a brisket from August 2023, of which I froze leftovers and reheated.

After:


For lunch today, simple romaine with some Caesar dressing, sliced brisket, rice and black beans, and farofa. The meat was a little dry, but loaded with flavor. Everything else was very good.

I love leftovers in my house.

[MsTwiggy]

Looks delicious, how would you describe the texture of farofa? Is it dry or fluffy like grain? Never even heard of it, thx!! 🔥🔥🐿️

[HotSun]

MsTwiggy , farofa has the texture of uncooked corn meal. It adds both crunch and flavor to just about anything. It is like a dry condiment, if that makes sense. I buy Yoki brand on Amazon, since we don't have a Brazilian store anywhere near us. Once in a while we will make it from scratch, with coarse ground cassava being the main ingredient. Check this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farofa

[MsTwiggy]

Thanks HotSun, the shine on the brisket is amazing!! 🤩 🔥🔥🐿️

[SheilaAnn]

[WayneT]

Ooooooooh, stellar idea.

[DaveD]

Comfort food for a Friday evening. Bowls of Chuck E. Chili Beans from the Angus chuck roast I cleft in twain and smoked so I could use half in these here chili beans. On the day:





Tonight, the standard Scoops delivery system, with shredded cheese and lite sour cream to top. So freakin good.

[texastweeter]

Your pinker make me laugh every time

[RichieB]

I found a portion of Poor Man's Burnt Ends in the freezer. That with bit more sauce heated up and I air fried some potato wedges. A nice no brainer.

[MsTwiggy]

Wow, what’s a poor mans burnt end? This is food coma material here 🔥🔥🐿️

[RichieB]

MsTwiggy I apologize I missed your inquiry. It chuckie instead I brisket, thus Poor Man's. Recipe below.

[DaveD]

Leftover baby backs from a few weeks back, done on the SnS kettle with B&B and hickory chunks. Damn fine on the day:





Had the rest for last night's dinner with some Trader Joe's mac & cheese. Rib-stickin.

[MsTwiggy]

Improv night! 🎤 I had these millet ramen noodles that I got at Costco a while ago. So quick boil and then fried with a “yakitori” sauce (1tbsp ketchup, 3 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/4 c Worcestershire), threw the rest of my Teriyaki chicken breast in with the noodles and finished with Bachans. Then out of the pan to hold and in goes carrots🥕 , shitake mushrooms, cabbage, and mini peppers. . . Braise quickly with sake and throw in frozen herb cubes of garlic 🧄 and ginger 🫚 . Dump noodles and chicken back in the pan and coax everyone together. Family approved of this one 👇🔥🔥🐿️

[hoovarmin]

Nice. Say more about these frozen herb cubes. I'm intrigued. Sounds like a handy time saver.

[MsTwiggy]

hoovarmin i find them in the freezer section at Trader Joe's. Brand is Dorot they are little red trays with frozen minced garlic or ginger. Cube is approx 1 cm. Huge time saver for wokking. 🔥🔥🐿️

[hoovarmin]

MsTwiggy I hate chopping garlic and ginger. Definitely getting some of this.

[DaveD]

Redux of the pigsket & pulled pork chili beans I made in January, with Rancho Gordo Midnight Blacks added at the end. Yet another of the meals my lovely bride has decreed must always be on hand in the freezer.

On the day:



Tonight, using the standard Scoops delivery system.

[hoovarmin]

The pinkie is planking again

[DaveD]

Skirt steak tacos were on the menu the other night. Leftover steak on a homemade roll made a tasty sandwich today.

[Troutman]

Yes, please !!

[WayneT]

Leftover brisket on a leftover bun with leftover queso and a side of new chips.

[hoovarmin]

Yum!

[Troutman]

Last piece of lasagna from the weekend's cook. Had to arm wrestle my daughter for this piece lol.
