BBQ Tacos!

[Boshizzle]

Started out with some BBQ beef chucky and a Boston Butt -

Added some fresh veggies and Corn Masa -

Mixed the Masa with some warm water, sea salt, and juice from two limes, let rest for 1 hour, and rolled into balls -

Put the Masa balls between two pieces of wax paper and pressed them into tortillas -

I used a pyrex pan as a tortilla press -

Grilled them -

Grilled the veggies -

Made up some Southwestern slaw using lime juice, mayonnaise, and adobo sauce -

Grilled up some Tilapia marinated in lime juice, olive oil, adobo sauce, fresh crushed garlic, and black pepper -

Served it up to guests -

Mixed the beef and pork with salsa, adobo sauce, and a little lime juice for the filling.

BBQ Beef taco -

BBQ Pork taco -

Fish taco -

All quite tasty. And, the homemade tortillas were flexible and flavorful.

What is going on here? Is that tortilla soaking in something after the wax paper smashing?

You tricked me with beef and pork and ended up with fish. Reminded me of something else in the freezer I need to cook up. Great job... I just need some cabbage and I am set. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Dude, that is some good looking grub.
THANK YOU for posting this.

Boshizzle, Does the dough have to be chilled to press? Those look awesome. I have failed at tortillas consistently.

Nice job~! Used that Maseca for the first time last week...does it "peel" off the surface, being that thin?
Love those colors!

work3fish4,

There is no need to chill the dough. Just make sure you use warm water and let them rest for at least 30 minutes before you press them. Also, let them rest after you eat them. I let them sit uncovered for about 20 minutes and they get nice and pliable.

keale,

Thanks. I used a little of the corn flour on the bottom sheet of wax paper that helps prevent sticking.

Well dang, I got me a tortilla press now... I just accepted today that things are not as obvious to me lately at only 42-3/4 years old... and now this. If I live to be old, I am gonna be screwed!!!!!!!!!

I appreciate the post and pics and confirmation that I am getting... is senile the right word? :crazy:

work3fish4,

Also, let them rest after you eat them.

Sorry, let me fix that.

Also, let them rest for about 15 - 20 minutes after you cook them.
