Biggie! Bravo!! Well done and very creative!!! :thumb:

My wife the dessert guru will be as impressed as I was. :clap2:

 

[Wampus]

:shock:

I finally get a chance to log on and check out the TD thread. I see there's a "Tortilla" TD. Oh, yeah....I could do that maybe. Might have time this weekend to get in on it.

With THESE entries......maybe not worth the time since I was just thinking of throwing some BBQ in a tortilla....:roll:

WOW....great stuff everyone so far!
But....errrr.........Cheesecake enhiladas?:hail:

 

[deguerre]

Yes indeedy. I'll have two with the ice cream on the side please.

Al's Roasted Poblano Pulled Pork Enchillas

Still not sure this is worth entering with all the great dishes already but what the hey. If I get a goose egg on this one at least I didn't mean to. :heh:

First off a couple of the ingredients; please note the Poblano peppers are from our garden:

Put a good roast on the peppers:

Pulled pork that I've had vacu-sucked and frozen:

Didn't get a shot of it but I sautéd the sweet onion and peppers with garlic in EVOO and chicken stock in the cast iron skillet on the grill. Once they were done, I layered the rice, beans, pepper jack and cheddar cheese, pulled pork, pepper sauté, black olives and a little green enchilada sauce on the tortillas (note the middle ones are shredded chicken instead of pork for my daughter):

All rolled up and ready to go. I put a little enchillada sauce in the bottom so they wouldn't stick or burn. Note the chicken on top of two so I can tell them apart. These went on the Traeger at 400 for about 25 minutes to cook through and crisp up the tortillas (can't stand mushy tortillas):

Here's the finished product garnished with rice, beans, avacados, sour cream, cheese, tomatos, extra pepper sauté, enchillada sauce and a couple tiny poblanos for show. We didn't put the enchillada sauce on till last:

Another angle (money shot):

Last shot:

I think they turned out pretty well and we really enjoyed them. Thanks for looking. :becky:

 

[colonel00]

That sure does look good.

 

[deguerre]

That sure does look good.

No chit! Hey Mongo! Which one are you gonna pick for the TD?

 

[Al Czervik]

I think I'll stick with the Spam/Egg Popeye on a cold tortilla... :heh:

 

[colonel00]

Good choice :thumb:

 

[Redhot]

Way to go Mongo, looks great! Love the plating too!

 

[bigabyte]

That looks delicious!:hungry: Better than the dinner I just ate!:laugh:

 

[deguerre]

We get to have some more freshly made quesadillas...with white Russians.

So my wife and I are once again hooked into the farking Food Truck Road Race.

Last Year I was wishing I could try something from the



So I figured out how to make my own banh mi

This Year I wish I lived closer to the Korean BBQ truck so I decided to do my best to create some Korean BBQ.



This gave me an excuse to fire up the egg and make a Korean inspired pulled pork.










More to come

 

[Oldyote]

Looking at the Korilla menu I noticed they serve almost everything with kimchi fried rice. Never made this before so I'm not sure its quite right but it was darn tasty.





Next I need some Korean BBQ sauce (pears anyone)





And since this was a tortilla throwdown I decided to break out the rolling pin (no bed bath and beyond to buy a press).

All together with a little sweet cucumber and you get this



Not sure it would compete with Korilla but it is about as close as I'll likely get.

 

[bigabyte]

I have no idea what Korilla is like...but that looks amazing!:hungry:

 

[colonel00]

Yeah, that looks great. Not my normal food type but I would definitely give it a try.

 

[Al Czervik]

Looks tasty Oldyote! I'd sure give it a run past the old taste buds to find out... :thumb:

 

[deguerre]

I want some NOW! Did you write down the measurements for the pork injection and sauce? Or did you just do it on the fly like I often do? And then forget.:doh:

 

[Oldyote]

Hey deguerre

I think I could get pretty close with the marinade/injection. The sauce I could give you the general direction I started with.
