For some reason recently.. my quick on the fly meals taste so much better than the long drawn out menu items...

Instant SNACKIFICATION maybe...

Dan, once we team up on the trail one day, we will have to limit our food intake.. I see us easily gaining 10#s on a week adventure.. Looks tasty.

CHOMP!

Details!

Homemade flour tortillas (because even here, within 10-miles of mex-ville , you can't buy a real tortilla), fried up (think wok) leftover pulled pork, fresh roasted poblanos, new mex greens & jalapenos, roasted tomatoes, left over sliced potatoes, aged cheddar, cilantro and butta.

Interesting, I was looking for tortilla recipes Saturday night. Would you share yours?

Dan,

I've been using the tortilla recipe from food.com...here it is:

FWIW I normally cut this recipe in 1/2 and sometimes 1/4 since its just two of us here

4C flour (I use UB)
1-1/2t salt
1t baking powder
3T vege oil
1-1/2C warm water

Mix the dry ingredients then add the oil and mix (spoon).
Then add and mix the water a little at a time until you get a soft dough (may/may not use all the water...adjust accordingly).
Knead for 2-4 minutes.
Form into a ball, cover and let rest at least 20-minutes.
Heat up a cast iron skillet (medium-hot)
Roll out the size tortilla you want...a golf ball size ball of dough will get you about a 5" diameter tortilla
20-30 seconds per side in the cast iron skillet

I use my Kitchenaid pasta roller attachment to speed up the rolling process. If I'm making ~5-6" diameter tortillas then I'll just roll them on the KA. Otherwise if I want larger diameter tortillas I'll run them through the KA but stop at a thicker setting then finish with a rolling pin...just faster is the only reason.

Remember: The cooked tortillas puff up...so I roll mine out very thin...cuts back on the calories per tortilla too

They keep for a week in a zip-lock in the fridge. Reheat as necessary in the microwave (if heating several I wrap them in a wetted/wring'd out clean kitchen towel so they stay moist in the microwave).

The following will blow your mind. It is so simple, yet so complex. And so complete.

It is a breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It could even be a dessert.

It is always mocked by those who haven't tried it - until they try it.

This sandwich is the perfect
balance of salty & sweet, with a pinch of smokey. The perfect balance of carbs (quick & slow burning), fat and protein. The yin and the yang, the darkness and the light.

This sandwich is a superfood.

In fact, I ate them before heading off on my long runs while training for a marathon.

Move over peanut butter and jelly...

Behold:

The Bacon & Jelly Sandwich...



Take some bacon (oven cooked thick sliced here)

Take some toaster toast (honey wheat in this case)

Apply jelly to both sides. Strawberry preserves or grape jelly is best, but you can always run whatcha brung. (I also put a little fake butter spread just because)

Insert bacon...

Profit:

Tonight I also made a BLT with chipotle smoked Gouda melted onto the bacon, with avocados, lettuce, tomato, and a little basil. Mayo and brown mustard on the toast.

DAMN!!!

Damn, I totally forgot there was a sandwich thread. This morning I fried an egg plus an extra white. While it was cooking I remembered I had a loaf of bread (a rare occurrence brought about by houseguests this week) so I grabbed the bread, deli ham, cheddar, American, mustard, butter and duck fat and whipped up a quick grilled cheese. Hard to beat hand food. Now I'm remembering the crawfish tails in the freezer...hmmm...maybe tomorrow if I don't oversleep.

Cam, that BLT looks amazing. My avocados were all way past edible this morning.

 

[spressomon]

Cam, nice sandwiches! I've had PBJ+bacon...will try minus the p-butter!

So, I know y'all celebrated National Hot Dog Day yesterday... right???

Pictured here some dogs & brats, in a top-load bun, with a side of tots.

Who'd have guessed that hot dogs were gluten-free? That means they're healthy, right?

I took another stab at this tonight. This time I had HOMEGROWN tomatoes, MORE basil, and I toasted my fancy wheat berry bread in my DeBuyers skillet instead of the toaster.

BIG improvement!
