I made that pork tenderloin on the blog yesterday and had two plans for leftovers. The first was a riff on shrimp and grits, but making it into pork and grits. Well guess what? I lost the pics! Well, maybe didn't lose as they are still on my camera; I just can't find them on my Macbook and my office computer won't upload them. I am not good at technology, apparently. It was a recipe that I made up in my head as I went so I am going to do my best to recreate it after the tacos montage. I also served the pork and grits leftover (without the grits) on Hawaiian sweet rolls with BBQ sauce and cheddar for my niece's baptism and got rave reviews!
As you have seen before, I like to make pizza, egg bakes and tacos out of my leftovers. This time I had a lot of pork tenderloin left so I decided to go the taco route. The tenderloin had some great onion flavor to it already so I just needed to add some Mexican flair to it. I put some of my favorite toppings on it and used a fun method of heating tortillas! Please enjoy the montage and get two full recipes after the recap!
