Sorry... picture heavy!

These are served at the local cafes/restaurants. It's a lot cheaper to make my own.

making a marinade for the meat..

I went with chicken breasts that were already butterflied.

skirt steak..

I made two sauces... tomatillo and red.

Roasted and blended...

prepped the cactus, cheese, onions, salvadorian chorizo..

heating the molcajete over the fire..

grilling the chicken, skirt steak, chorizo, cactus, peppers....the pot of red sauce.

added seasoned shrimp..

grilled some panella cheese...

hot tortillas and called er good.

Started the build...

The tomatillo sauce simmers in the hot molcajete..
added cheese.

added strips of skirt steak, chicken, cactus, the chorizo, jalapenos..

more tomatillo sauce and then the shrimp, onions, grilled panella cheese...

cilantro, more chopped meats and onions...

served with hot tortillas, beans, rice, pico...

This reminds me of my last work trip to Mexico City a few years back, a bunch of us kept hitting this one restaurant. We'd always order at least two Molcajete's to share. Yours looks just as delicious as I remember them.

I've had Molcajete a few times in different states and here locally. It has always been awesome, but I've never had it displayed like that. Your pictures should grace a magazine cover or at least get and extensive, inside spread.



Always enjoy your cooking journey's and the step by step progress of those journey's. They provide a roadmap that almost anyone could follow to reproduce that meal. No need to apologize because it is appreciated.


Thanks,


Robert

Thanks so much for the kind comment, Robert! I appreciate it!

My favorite breakfast restaurant makes these. They drape the meats over the edge of the molcajete and fill the bowl so high.. then parade the dish around a bit on the way to the customer's table. You can hear almost everyone in the cafe whispering "I want one of those!". :laugh: The more meat draping over the edge, the better! lol
