Food Tip |
Always eat grapes downward - that is eat the best grapes first; in this way there will be none better left on the bunch, and each grape will seem good down to the last. If you eat the other way, you will not have a good grape in the lot. |

“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.” |
| Pearl Buck (1892-1973) American Nobel Prize winning author. |
Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but it's critical to know what it was. |

Shipping is a terrible thing to do to vegetables. They probably get jet-lagged, just like people. |

Tequila-chili marinade: Stem and seed chilies. Whirl in a blender
until finely ground. Add tequila, lemon juice, 1/4 c water, garlic,
oil, oregano, and 3/4 t salt; whirl until pureed. Cut meat across the
grain into 1/2" thick slices 3-4" long. In a bowl, coat meat with
marinade. Chill airtight 15 min. to 24 hours.
On a large baking sheet, lay parallel about 2 inches apart 2 metal
skewers, each about 18 inches long. Lift meat from marinade and
thread each strip onto a pair of skewers. Pat with marinade from bowl.
Place skewered meat on an oiled barbecue grill over med-high heat
(close lid on gas grill). Cook, turning often, until meat is well
browned and crusty, about 20 minutes.
Spanish rice: Meanwhile, in a 1 1/2-2 qt. pan over high heat, bring
3/4 c water, rice, tomato sauce and remaining 1/4 t salt to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed; 15-20
minutes.
Beans: About 5 minutes before meat is done, place beans and their
liquid in a 1 qt pan and cook over med-high heat until bubbling,
about 5 minutes.
Tortillas: Lift cooked meat to a platter and cover with foil. Heat 1
or 2 tortillas at a time on grill until lightly browned but still
soft, turning once, 30-40 secs. Stack on platter beneath foil to keep
warm.
Assembly: On a board, remove meat from skewers, cut into 1/4" wide
strips. Lay tortillas flat. Toward one edge of each, fill equally
with guacamole, sour cream, pork, beans (including most of the
liquid), rice, cheese, 1 c. salsa, and cilantro. Fold over sides and
roll up tightly to enclose. Add more salsa to taste.
