How about a Taco Tuesday Thread?

This morning I had a machaca and egg with avocado taco for breakfast. It turns out that machaca is simply beef jerky shredded in the blender and sautéed before you pour the scrambled egg over it. Simple and utterly delicious. And don't forget the red chili sauce.

Sounds rather tempting ...machaca, egg and avocado tacos have been added to my list of future culinary adventures! Now I just have to locate a local source for machaca. Thanks for the recipe.

Just use common beef jerky and shred it in the blender. If you want to go completely artisanal, there's a series called the Taco Chronicles on Netflix that shows the whole process. More trouble than it's worth, IMO.

A gastronomical delight even if it isn't to be eaten on Taco Tuesday. Io my taste, it is a potential seven day dining pleasure!

Today being Groundhog Day and Tuesday I put out a request on FB for recipes for Groundhog tacos. A friend suggested ground hog could be another way of describing pulled pork. So the crisped Boston butt is in the slow cooker with orange and mango juice, cider vinegar, onion, garlic, cumin, and ancho. I found some 25 calorie corn tortillas. I'll be interested to see how they are. They seem good uncooked.

Fish Tacos for today's lunch, with a small garden salad substituted for the customary fries or onion rings.
.....and now it's an Atkins Shake for dinner tonight.

I think I'll have duck confit tacos with butter lettuce, salsa, avocado and red chili sauce on corn and flour tortillas. There's probably enough confit for three-four tacos and that should fill me up.

It turns out that duck confit tacos are amazing! These look pretty good, too.

I would only add a bit of sour cream to those pulled pork tacos.

I think one of those racks might be a good purchase.
