My plan:
shredded carnitas stuffed inside little homemade tortilla raviolis on a bed of roasted poblanos, smothered in queso, and pequin/arbol sauce.
With the carnitas done...Istarted trying to make tortillas. Trying..trying...everything sticks...flour and masa all over the floor...
After 30 minutes, and not one damn tortilla piece made, I got pissed, gently placed the masa in the sink...which broke a plate due to its velocity, then I got more pissed, and took the whole damn bag of dry masa, and dumped it in the compost bin.
F*** making tortillas. Never again.
We had carnitas with lettuce and tomato...and the salsa.
So...enjoy your TD...I'll be watching from the stands.

TB is going big. This was made for him, and he hasn't been crowned in like... a year? He's been studying up on SoFlo camera techniques, and is in the kitchen making a mess right now. I betcha.

LunchBox, just go buy some tortillas! That sounds too good not to see.
No TD for Me. We just got in from a 2-day bbq that I catered. I'm wiped out. Tomorrow I have to make salsa in the morning and then drive to the coast to take care of my mom for a few days.
I'll be living vicariously, so MAKE SOME GUUUD SCHTUFF!

Tortilla!
Pedro DeVille's Bow to the Almighty Tortilla
Tacos:
• 1 lb. Ground Sirloin
• 1/2 Baking Potato
• 3 Fresh Jalapeños
• 3 Cloves fresh Garlic
• 2 Tbs. Scovie's Chile Powder
• 1/2 Tbs Cumin
• 1/2 White Onion
• 1 cup Water
• 12- 6" Corn Tortillas
• 3 Tbs Veg Oil
Regionally traditional, Potatoes were added to the Taco meat, or any meat filling. I'm guessing that it's because it's friggen awesome.
-Tiny dice potatoes, and fry until browned, add garlic and veggies, cook until all are soft.
-Add Ground Beef, Chile Powder and water, gradually, and let simmer until liquid is gone, but meat is thick and gooey.
-Put 3 Tbs of meat filling to each tortilla, and use tooth picks to hold them closed
-Deep fry until golden brown, and drain on a paper towel
-Add Cabbage or lettuce, Tillamook Cheddar, and Tillamook Jack cheeses, and top with your favorite Taco sauce.
Quesadilla's:

• Tillamook Cheddar, Tillamook Jack, and Cotija cheeses
• Green Onion Tops
• Diced Red Onion
• CJ's Homemade Salsa
• Topped with LDHS Smoked Hab sauce
-Layer all ingredients starting with Cheddar and ending with Jack, on one half of each Tortilla. Fold other half over and press down to form a raw taco, lol.
Fry in a pan on med heat, with a heated lid on it for about 6 minutes each side.
Sopapillas:
