Good to include all those you did TB!
 
GO!
 
Lucky me I have a fresh bag of pulled pork in the fridge, just need to crisp it up and use some of my homemade pickles and this avocado begging to be used.. 
 
Truth be told, the whole mole' 'thang for the throwdown plumb evades me.
 
I've made it several times and it just never seemed to be right and don't reckon I can even come close to compete.
 
But a torta or a bocadillo I can do!
 
I'll focus my Cinco de Mayo attentions in this thread while watching the goin's on in the t-down thread.

Btw at my home that is a torta:

Of course i didn't made that, a friend of mine made it for her birthday party. That's insane.
 
Just to say that in Italy torta means pie (mostly, but not always, sweet type)! :P
 
I don't know if this qualify as torta... But since these are some of the truest pizza sandwiches... I already posted one on pizza thread, here panuozzo napoletano!
Not really famous here...
 
I suppose any pizza dough should do.
I used 500g of w350 flour, 200 durum wheat, 4g yeast, 550 water 4°C, 17g salt, 1g sugar + 39 hours of fridge and 5 at weather temp (1 before + 4 after).
 
Here before cooking:

First one was more airy.
 
Crust was thin and very crunchy, in the middle very soft but fully cooked.
 
A good pizza is better, but that one is very good too!
 
Thanks all!
 
Ha ha CH, you make great stuff and i tought the same particularly when i saw your asado (wich is really masterful)! :D
 
Well I swore I was done with meat for the month but...
 
I lied.
 
Cleaning out the freezer I found a small chuck roast that I was supposed to cook for mrs. blues but never did. 
 
So now what? She's off in Washington DC on bidness all week. I don't want to toss it though.
 
What the hell. Thawed it out and hit the CI along with fresh cracked BP, kosher salt, and whole cloves of garlic.
 
Into the oven @325 for an undetermined amount of time.
 
2 hours in.
 
This'll make some nice machaca to go on a torta later tonight.
 

 
Luego.
