Let's not be mysterious here...CHULETAS DE BORREGO means "lamb chops." We had some trouble finding a Mexican recipe for grilled lamb chops, so if you know of one, please pass it along. What we ended up doing was grilling them, and then making a sauce of yerba buena (mint leaves) and charred jalapeños to serve on the side. They were absolutely delicious, as was the sauce, and we served them with some grilled butternut squash, potatoes and onions on the side. Wish I had more to say about this dinner, but simplicity ruled the day. If I had any comment to make on the negative side it would be that the mint / jalapeño sauce was really spicy. It didn't overpower the flavor of the lamb, but came close. Maybe one half of a pepper will do the trick next time!
In Guadalajara the best way to eat lamb is in birria. I'll write more about that recipe and where you can eat it in Guadalajara when we make it some day. Chops are not the right kind of meat to use, and we didn't have the time or ingredients yesterday to make it...
