al pastor torta




This will be the first of many sneaky posts about leftovers. One of the keys to making cooking a way of life is to A) make enough for leftovers. you can't cook every single meal or you'll get frustrated and quit. B) turn leftovers into something new. I know I sound like Martha Stewart. Shut up.

Ok this dinner included al pastor torta, ceviche, and jalapeno chips. We already posted about ceviche. Don't ever make ceviche without enough for leftovers. Seriously. Also we only go so often without jalapeno chips. Now the torta. First time with this and it was amazing. It was amazing because the al pastor was amazing and putting it between two slices of bread just works. But it really works. I'll also say you could put a lot of other stuff on this and it would be great but we kept it simple for the first attempt.

Ingredients

al pastor
Cheese (we used spicy jack)
shredded lettuce
Rolls

Preparation

Getting the bread right matters. I toasted it before putting it in the oven. Crunchy goodness is key. Heat the oven to 400ish and put it in with the al pastor on one side and cheese on the other. Let the cheese melt and throw some lettuce on it. Done.
