I'm drooling here. Sounds so good. Need to try that pork recipe. Can you do it without the banana leaves? No idea where i'd find that around here.

Thanks Mark.
Do try it, good stuff.
Yeah, you can do it without banana leaves. You lose a small part of it's flavor/aroma doing, but nothing huge.
Mexican markets will often carry frozen banana leaves, call around see if you can find some.
Great for doing kalua pork too.

if you do frozen banana leaves, make sure they are 100% thawed before trying to unfold them.

After salivating over your post, I texted my wife and said: “We’re having tacos tonight! And that’s final!! I’m putting my foot down on this!”

My wife (putting her foot down) texts: “We’re not buying groceries when we leave for vacation in 3 days!! We’re having burgers and that’s that!!”

So I guess I’m having a burger instead...but don’t worry, I’ll find a way to dedicate them to you.

Thank you Kit, I really do appreciate the replies and compliments.

Just my wife, kids and I this time.
Leftovers galore, I ate it for lunch/dinner through yesterday.

I think I'm addicted to the Puerco Pibil now, move over Al pastor.

If Mama ain't Happy, Nobody's Happy.

Simply call them Hamburguesas.
Load them with salsa, guacamole, green chiles or jalapenos and a nice soft Mexican cheese like Chihuahua.

Nice and congrats on the carousel!
Also, HOW IN THE HELL did you find such nice skirt steak!???
All the Skirt steak I run across is full of the bad inedible fat and tissue.
I pretty much stick to Flank steak because of that reason.

I guess Costco may have good Skirt steak but I don't even think about buying like 10 pounds at a time lol.

Thanks man,
I went big on it as it was my bday dinner. The carousel ride was sure unexpected.

Costco is where I get the Skirt, it always looks great and cost less than Flank.
That was. 5.5lb tray, which is about average.
They sometimes have Flap steak too, but it's usually very thin and lean.
I bypass it.

Well as you remember, the tacos were a no go for me, but check out what I ended up doing to the burger lol.

Fresh ground beef coated in a Mexican rub, topped with green chilies, queso fresco and pickled onions. There’s also scotch bonnet mayo behind the lettuce.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Dammit Man, but that does look fantastic, a great Hamburguesa Mexicana!
And the roasted veggies, much tastier than ordinary papas fritas.
Hell yeah!


Rule #2 Mama is always right.
Rule #3 When Mama is wrong refer to rule number two.

LOL!
