    No chance it makes it to the freezer. This photo does not do it justice. It is so quick to make and great to have in the fridge because it is so versatile. Well seasoned beef with Sazon, capers, green and red peppers, tomato sauce, olives, and raisins. Great in a tortilla, with eggs, on toast, over rice, or on its own.

    Eggs mixed in with the picadillo, in a large tortilla, homemade salsa, pickled jalapenos. Only missing avocados. Killer.

    Yes! I used some of my salsa on eggs too.

    Nicely done & great idea about tortilla.

    Thank you. There is only one or two Mexican breakfast spots where I live so we try to do it as best we can. A good chilaquiles is $20+. I buy more tortillas than bread. You can basically stuff anything into it. Corn, flour, whole wheat, carb balance, whatever, it always tastes better than bread. I keep two Ball jars with sweet pickled Jalapenos and lime pickled red onion at all times. Not the same level as your canning but damn good with almost anything.

    Ah. Cool. I had some bell peps in my fridge and an almost empty of pickled cauliflower. So I put the peps in the jar and added more vinigar. Super yummy way to extend that great brine. 
    Cauliflower came out great. Almost too hot but magically balances out because of the sugar I added. 
    Fun times

    We love hot pickled Cauliflower and giardiniera. Makes a bland salad taste great!

    Italian Roast Pork ala Juggler


    Made it yesterday but was actually better tonight after being reheated in the air fryer. The heated up/crispy bread made a nice difference.

    I complain about the lack of good/proper Mexican food places here in NY.  NPR just did a special on the radio about it but I missed it.  Everything is Mole sauce.  I don't think I ever had mole sauce while I lived in cali, lol.

    Did garlic, tahini, yogurt and lemon and spread it below long hots. Was really good

    Might have to grab a roast pork or something along those lines for lunch.

    I never even pretended to make mole. But why cant I cannot get a decent breakfast taco? Huevos rancheros? Migas? Chilaquiles? I just do not have options up here. But if you want a killer BEC or an Italian sub, there are many.

    Queens has some decent places. (Also some good taco joints in Spanish Harlem.)
    This guy's list is pretty good,

    I would actually try 2 of those places.  The problem we have here on the island is they have south Americans trying to pull off being Mexican.  You can tell the difference.

    I am definitely down to try those spots @eddiecTY!

    Ah, sorry. Thought you were in the city.
    Now I get the BEC/Italian Combo reference. I grew up outside of NYC, and yeah, BEC's and combos are kick-ass, but the generic Mexican restaurants are not.

    All good! We moved up here to get away from the city, but we miss the food so much.

    Yeah, when I left Manhattan to move to Ireland, the food thing was a major issue for me. Probably the reason I really got into cooking- I just couldn't get the quality of food I was used to. 

    However, the food scene in Ireland has changed a lot since I moved here. We had two restaurants with Michelin stars (one closed during Covid), which is pretty good for a small town.
