    My friend the bone in, turkey breast, waiting to be carved up.  Good eats for two or three days.  Normally I would say three or four but we put quite a dent in on the first meal



    Looks delicious. Next day turkey sandwiches are the best!!

    Made grilled chicken tacos tonight. Marinated and seasoned chicken, black beans, brown rice seasoned with lime juice/cilantro and goodies on top. Turned out better than usual.

    ^ the bird looks outstanding. I’d like to cook one soon for my daily turkey sandwich for lunch.

    Yum and yum! 
    I grilled a pork tenderloin for National BBQ Day on Saturday.  Excellent, as always.  Can't go wrong with a pork tenderloin.  Up had 4 apples that were getting too old to be hand fruit, so I chopped them up and cooked them down with brown sugar, cider vinegar, and kitchen sink spice and it turned out amazing, way better than I thought I could do.  Fancy restaurant quality, for sure.

    Spinach instead of cilantro?

    Interesting.

    At least 5 ingredients and what looks like wheat tortillas. Still a taco tempo?

    I like the spinach instead of cilantro.  Mild cilantro is great, but if it's going toward bolt, it gets too strong.  A good taqueria should use only the mildest fresh cilantro, but grocery stores...😬

    Yeah these are by no means an authentic Mexican version.  More of a "use what you have readily available in the fridge" type version.  Haha.  I do enjoy the spinach though.  Not a bad substitute at all.

    And you are correct...wheat tortillas.  This is actually a funny follow up to the recent taco debates.  In reality, it could be argued these are not even tacos.  Damn tasty, but not tacos in a traditional sense.

    Ha, I was stirring the pot a bit.  Put it in a tortilla and fold it in half - its a taco. Even if you put ketchup on it :)

    I'm a food failure. I had chicken salad made with Miracle Whip in a tortilla wrap yesterday. It was delicious! :smiley:

    We don't like corn tortillas. Maybe I have missed something. They are like eating raw, flattened and dried flavorless polenta. (Or mush if you are DK.) Oh, and they crack and fall apart.

    And that pork tenderloin sounds delicious.  Brown sugar and apple...excellent.  I'm a big fan of tenderloins.  I prefer cooking a full beef tenderloin when we're having steaks, which is pretty rare.  The problem is it only works when we're hosting other people because it's so much meat.  And right now we're only cooking for our family of 4, of course, so no tenderloins going on.

    You have to double them up.

    This sounds to me like you have a population of zero Mexicans in Ohio. Corn tortillas should taste and feel like warm comfort. They should not crack, but if your fillings are juicy enough, they’ll seep through a single tortilla, which is why it’s always good to have a second one. 

    And don’t eat tacos with corn tortillas doubled up! That’s totally wrong! You get way too much tortilla and not enough fixins that way. The second tortilla is for catching/sopping up the fillings that leaked out of the first tortilla.

    Yeah, I don't love anyone enough to spend 100$ on a whole beef tenderloin to share lol

    We have an abundance of Guatemalan immigrants in Ohio, though their cuisine hasn't gone mainstream.  I think she's talking about store bought, home prepared corn tortillas, in which case the secret is to steam them up.  They are practically inedible unless you steam, deep fry, or pan sear them.
