Some Comal Tacos

[cowgirl]

Friends were over on Super Bowl Sunday. We don't watch football but we like to visit and eat. :-D

I gathered some ingredients...onions, peppers, tomatillos, tomatoes, garlic, limes, cilantro, jalapenos...

I went with strip steak this time...

a pork tenderloin, bacon, strip steak, boneless chicken thighs...
colombian chorizo and salvadorian chorizo...

ready to go..

everything was hit with my smoked salt, pepper, onion, garlic blend..

Used the fancy cooker and comal..

started with strip steak fat and bacon...

added the pork tenderloin..

Not sure what this one is, but the steak was next. lol

then the chicken...

and chorizo....

The next to hit the comal was the onions and garlic...

tomatillos and peppers...

tomatoes and seasoning..

fresh lime, jalapeno, and beer...

This simmered for quite awhile to blend the flavors and cook the veggies down..

Then I dipped the tortillas in the sauce...

added all of the meat to the pan and simmered til hot..

Called er good.

This was self serve..

I liked this meal. The combination of meats and chorizo drippin's really flavored the pot nicely.
It wasn't fancy, no sides. Just cold beer to wash it down. :-D

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Doug!! :-D
This comal is a lot easier to clean than the one I have with the convex center. lol
I've found that if I lay damp paper towels on the tough spots to soften, it cleans up easily. An sos pad helps too. :-D

I have the other style like you said it’s tough to clean! But if my cooks looked that good I’d be ok with it!

Looks GREAT! What's the difference between the different types of Chorizo's? Taste? Texture? Spice? All of the above?

Tacos look great, as expected. Sure everyone enjoyed them... And I noticed you paired them with the world's greatest beer. Well played.

lol It is tough to clean! I found that instead of scrubbing right off the bat, the wet paper towels placed on top really help loosen everything and it makes clean up a LOT easier. I enjoy using both comals. They hold a lot of food and it's nice to cook everything in one pan. :laugh:
Thanks again Doug. Hope you're having a great week! :-D

Thanks Andy! The salvadorian was a bit spicier. It was a red color and the links were smaller than the colombian. I liked both, they had the same texture, pretty tender. I really like them split and fried like this to caramelize the meat... but I like fried bologna better than plain. lol
I had another mexican chorizo, but forgot to thaw it out. lol

Awesome looking dish. Since having lived in New Braunfels, Tx (in Comal county) I was expecting breakfast tacos. Boy, what a pleasant surprise to see a wonderful taco and learned about a cooking pan with which I was not familiar.

 

[DBBQ]

Your meal and photography of it are high level! Looks Superb!!

 

[bbqwizard]

That’s it! I’m coming over. Those look so good.

Out-Standing!

I love having tacos like that with all sorts of different meats and whatnot... almost like discada... never sure just what the next bite will bring.

Keep crushing it, Jeanie!

:jaw:. That is an absolutely incredible cook!! Everything looks perfect and the colors just draw you in. Very nicely done! Oh, when does your restaurant open? I want to be first in line.

 

[Stingerhook]

After looking at this cook this morning I think I am going to see 2 sunrises this morning Jeanie.

 

[PatAttack]

Stellar per usual, Jeanius!

I'll have four please!

Oh girl, we got about 2" of sleet. Not fun. Still here. Lucky we didn't get much/any of a round 2 last night. Hope y'all are doing well. Nothing like busting ice, right?

It's 7:20 am, I'm halfway through my first cup of Joe, and my tummy is growling for something that would pry kill me even late in the day.
Good.
