ohh I get it... both? then you eat the burrito second. which to me, counts as, likes the second more. as a child, I would always eat the peas first, and then the chicken ha. but could not eat two dishes, anyways

That picture of street tacos Mmmmm. Hold the rice and it's my perfect plate xD

I'd have to say lengua tacos are my absolute favorite. Carne asada or birria is second best.

Sounds a lot like grits.
Perhaps with more refining?

I'd say that's right.
More refined because it has to be a certain consistency.
Grits always look like someone just threw in some water and cornmeal
and what will be will be.
(I may be wrong about that).

Oh, nooo
I was not aware of this... need to find something else then. I have my own too somewhere ;)

I don't use that signature.
You could use it all you want...it's not copyrighted!
However, it is correct like that and it was John Lennon that
said this.

I checked but seems, I cannot change it now? I was not aware of John Lennon said this, but it is of course a very common thing to say, is it not? I dont like to use the word 'problem'. Thanks

You can change it Lilac...(I'm not saying you should).

Go to the top of the blue forum page where you sign in. (I think we're on it right now).
Click on your avatar.
Click on SIGNATURE.
Change whatever you want to and then SAVE at the bottom.

It might be a common thing to say, but John Lennon said it first.
Sometimes I'm sorry he doesn't get the credit for it.

At least google does !

Found it now, thank you wondering
Yes, I agree, I would not post something from someone else without referencing it. Could have googled if first haha but that's my brain sometimes not thinking.

Some people get a little nervous about that if they learn what it is. Personally, I like to pressure cook it, and then season and reheat it, so that it has the texture of brisket. It is very good, lean and flavorful.

I agree! It is good! I was able to pick up some more in the farmer's market today.

I know, it's always controversial to think about feeding it to guests. "Do I pass it off as shredded beef? They'll never know?" and, "Nah, I shouldn't do that...they'll just freak out..." I love cooking it in the crock pot. It takes a bit of effort to get that layer of skin off the top, but the meat inside is all worth it!

Luminous_Rose and Barbarian
Ha, if most knew what “it” is I think your right, they wouldn't eat it, including Trippe.

Both of those are my favorite. Except they are so rich I can only eat a couple. I used to buy three tacos at a time and Lingua was one of the three and saved for last!

Ive never cooked them...

As a side note, I like making my own Pico, it’s super easy as you probably both know. One thing I like to do with it is use it with eggs and corn tortillas.

I take a small frying pan and put about a quarter inch of oil in it, bringing it up to temp on medium. I then put my corn tortilla in, wait for it to start to raise then flip it. I then put an egg on it (making sure not to break the yolk) and use a spoon to baste the egg in hot oil till the egg is fully cooked the way I like it.

Plate it and garnish it with homemade pico. It’s the best!

If you pressure cook it, the skin peels right off. And you're right, it's delicious.

I'm told it's not authentic, but I like to use poblanos in pico instead of jalapenos. For some reason jalapenos seem to give it a slightly bitter flavor. I grow poblanos with a slightly thicker-walled pod than most, and it seems to work well. And the pico has brighter, more citrusy/onion taste to it.

That’s a great idea. One problem I consistently have with jalapeños is the hotness. The heat is so inconsistent. I like the flavor of jalapeños but if you get an extra hot one, you loose the flavor. Likewise, get a few cold ones and it adds too much flavor just to bring up the heat.

which brings me to mixing ingredients. I have to buy three jalapeños but I may only use one, or anything in between all three.

 

[Barbarian]

Jalapenos usually vary between 2,500 to 10,000 Scoville Units. Which is a lot of variation.

 

[Barbarian]

I have a plant that produces very mild Habeneros. Great tangerine-like flavor, without the blowtorch heat. Use them, with some poblano, in my barbeque sauce.

Yeah, so when you put them in, ya gotta taste test!

Jalpenos burn at times my father's mouth and stomach. In a camping trip in 2011. He did not feel good for a couple of days there. But thankfully he got well. He loves them. But needs to be careful.
