We had some delicious leftover leg of lamb to use up from a meal we had while my mother was visiting. One of her favorite things to eat is lamb, so while she was here, Javier grilled a boneless leg of lamb from Costco, and now we had the leftovers to contend with.
The whole idea of a taco is to put anything you like into a warm corn (or flour) tortilla and eat it that way. It's the same principle of putting anything between two slices of bread and calling it a sandwich. I've seen just about everything but desserts put into tortillas and eaten at mealtimes, so the idea of warming up leftovers and recycling them into another meal is not that weird.
So we had this leftover boneless leg of lamb and decided to dice it, warm it up and serve it in tacos in a "style" that's called AL PASTOR. When meat is served AL PASTOR - or shepherd style - it means it will be served with diced onion, cilantro and maybe a little salsa that you have on hand. The key ingredient is the fresh, warm tortilla.
This simple meal turned out well. I had 3 TACOS AL PASTOR, and later in the evening helped Javier finish up a small portion of FLAN that was also left over from my mother's visit. It was not what you'd call a remarkable meal, but very filling and delicious.
