I’ve had a number of ideas for restaurants I might start, among them, a taco truck that serves tacos on fresh, homemade tortillas. Homemade tortillas that are piping hot off the griddle and filled with delectable meats topped with onions and cilantro are one of life’s great pleasures.
Two of my favorite taco meats are fire-grilled carne asada, and local, artisan made chorizo. I season beef flap meat with seasoning salt, and marinate it in fresh orange juice along with cilantro and onion for many hours.
So here’s how the cook went down:
Early in the day, I made a batch of salsa roja and salsa verde, along with some fresh chips The Missus had fried up:
Carne asada finishing up on the grill:
While I was doing this, The Missus was working on the homemade tortillas and crisping up the chorizo:
Sliced up the carne asada, first against the grain:
Then in little cubes:
And finally, the taco basket – the chorizo taco is in the middle, flanked on each side by a carne asada taco. Salsa roja was drizzled on the carne asada tacos, while the chorizo got the salsa verde.
I ate six total. :mrgreen:
Thanks fer lookin’!
