2009-03-12 Thursday - green salsa pork with ancho tortillas, and mango avocado salad

green salsa pork

• pork from the freezer, crockpotted in January (cooked a pork shoulder in salsa, removed and shredded it, returned half to pot, froze half), defrosted in microwave
  
• cooked 2 shallots, chopped, in olive oil and black pepper
  
• added pork
  
• added about 1/4 jar Trader Joe green salsa (enough for juicy, not soupy!)
  
• added about 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro at the end
  

ancho tortillas

• regular tortilla recipe with 2 teaspoons of ancho pepper

mango avocado salad

• mango
• avocado
• red onion
• grape tomatoes
• fresh lime juice
• thought about adding cilantro, but wanted the flavor without
  
• served on spring mix
  

Papa liked it a lot! He said the ancho tortillas were lovely, but not as easy to repurpose as the plain ones.
