PP Taco Tuesday

[Smkryng]

Took some leftover pp from the big weekend and put together some homemade taco seasoning, siracha aioli, some cheddar jack blend, and a little purple cabbage. Simple and delicious, and also a great way to use up some of that pp goodness for something beside sammies!

Looks great. Give this green sauce. Pretty good stuff and a nice change from tomato salsas...JJ

Green Chile Sauce

Makes about 2 Cups relatively mild sauce, depending on Jalapenos. Add Hotter Chiles to your taste.

2Tabs Oil
1C Diced Onion
4ea Cloves Garlic
4ea Pablano Peppers
4ea Jalapeño Peppers*
8oz New Mexican or Anaheim Chiles**
1/2tsp Cumin
1/2tsp Black Pepper
1/2tsp Marjoram or Oregano
1ea Chicken Bouillon Cube
1C Water
Small Handful Cilantro, finely minced.
1/4C Heavy Cream

Roast and peel chiles, Chop fine.
Saute onion and garlic until soft and slightly golden in a 12" pan.
Place all but Cilantro and Cream in the pan and simmer until soft and water evaporates.
Puree the vegetables until smooth. Add a little water if needed. If too thin return to pan and reduce.
Add Cilantro and cream, stir to combine.
Season to taste.
* If jalapeños are mild add more and use less Pablano.
** Fresh Chiles are best but use Canned Green Chiles, out of season.

Looks like that would be a good addition to this for sure, I’ll have to give that a try next time. Thanks!

Funny I did this Sunday! I just crisp mine up a bit in the skillet before adding some seasonings and a bit of water. <I use storebought seasoning...I know! I know!>

Nothing wrong with that at all, I would have done the same but I didn’t have store bought lol. I agree crisping in the skillet is the way to go, but after working late I completely cheated and used the microwave!

You should try using Pulled Pork for making fried rice...another good hit round here! Understand ya on the quick heating though, it's generally what I do for heating up the stuff if it's for sammies.

I’ll try that for sure, I can’t believe I haven’t thought of that before. I’m always looking for new ways to use pp.

Nice tacos. My stomach is already growling.

Leftover pulled pork goes great with tacos. I like to make a mango salsa when making them.

Definitely quick and easy, thanks!

Thanks, mango salsa is definitely something I’m gonna have to try with these, sounds like they would pair well.

We just put a slice of avocado and a little pico de Gallo in the tortilla with our leftover PP. Quick, simple and tasty.

Also like the PP in a corn tortilla with a little sauerkraut. Mmmmmm
