Sobras sabrosas - 165



Once again - sobras sabrosas - meaning "delicious leftovers." If today's picture looks a lot like yesterday's CARNE ADOBADA, that's because it is (or it was).

We had two of the chuletas de puerco (pork chops) left over, and with the weekend looming ahead, decided to use them for dinner again. So, we rummaged through the refrigerator and when we discovered lettuce, salsa, and some crema, we decided to make tacos. By the way, ever since we discovered that tortillería several blocks from home, we have become regulars. Their tortillas are really the best in town, and they make them fresh 4 days a week.

So, we grilled up some onions, thinly sliced the chuletas, and heated them together in a skillet. If they look greasy, it's only through the "magic of photography." They were anything but greasy, and what you're seeing is probably the adobo sauce that was used to marinate them the night before - or maybe some glare.

Served with thinly shredded lettuce, queso fresco, crema y salsa, these were really good tacos! Anything else - such as guacamole - would have taken away from the flavor of the meat.
