Cook Once, Serve Twice Works For Me
June23
What happens when you fix a huge Boston Butt? Well, for starters, you not only get one meal. . . .
Shredded BBQ Pork Sandwiches
But you get two!
Spicy Pork Tacos
Pork Tacos
Ingredients
Leftover Shredded Pork
1 can of green chiles
1 package of taco seasoning mix
taco shells or tortillas
Salsa
Shredded cheese for garnish
sour cream for garnish
Directions
Heat the pork in a skillet. When it has reheated, add in the diced green chiles and taco seasoning mix. Put meat mixture on to your shells or tortillas and prepare as you would for tacos.
Cook one, serve twice works for me!
Instead of a can of green chilies (outrageously priced for such a tiny can), use a sauteed diced poblano pepper. Significantly cheaper.
Instead of a pkg of taco seasoning, make it yourself: 3 Tbs. chili powder, 1 Tbs. cumin, 1 Tbs. garlic salt. Way cheaper.
Great tips, Ginger! I get my Taco Seasoning in bulk from Costco so it’s pretty cheap. I’ll have to check out the pepper, though.
I was curious.. I have one I want to cook, and make to things out of. What do you cook on it for seasoning when you want to make it into two different meals??
I’ve done this with numerous meals. When I make meatloaf and we don’t finish it the first meal we will make sandwiches and sometimes tacos as well.
When I roast a chicken we will often use the leftovers for salads or for chicken quasadillas ( I know I spelled that wrong) or tacos.
I basically cook mine in the slow cooker and use Lawry’s Seasoned Salt. This seasons the meat to give it a good flavor, but then if you want to season it for a specific meal, like Mexican, you can do so without over powering it.
