Crock Pot Pork Tacos & Enchiladas

One crock pot, two dinners. On Sunday, I kept things simple by putting a pork tenderloin in the slow cooker with a carton of chicken broth (4 cups) and 4 tbsp of taco seasoning. After cooking it on low for 4-5 hours, I added some chopped green onions to the broth and kept it on the warm setting, while I prepared the taco ingredients.

The second night is when things got more exciting. I had leftover pulled pork and two small batches of liquid to work with, and didn’t feel like prepping all the dry ingredients that normally go into burritos. I rolled up the leftover meat in tortillas in a casserole dish; sprinkled the batch with plenty of cheddar cheese, and poured the liquid all across the top and along the sides. I baked it for 30 minutes, or until the liquid was boiling.

The result? Ooey, gooey pulled pork enchiladas that were deliciously “slimy” – as David described them. (You could cut back on the liquid, but what fun would enchiladas be without the goop?)

Hot/Mild in the City

Taco truck + Korean BBQ = @bbqkalbi. Foodies of 2700 Garcia and Intuit have a new reason to proclaim TGIF, thanks to BBQ Kalbi. It’s a taco truck with a Korean BBQ fusion menu, which ranges from spicy chicken and beef teriyaki to unagi tacos for less than it costs for a Subway sandwich. Tacos are $2 a pop, and two were plenty for me.

It’s always fun to get outside in the sun with an impromptu gathering of coworkers, corporate neighbors, and dogs who appreciate the warm pavement and heavenly aroma of BBQ.
