Yummy Tostados

March 25, 2014

Carl’s Meat Market in Kittery had some Maine Family Farms fresh chorizo, from hogs raised in Maine, and I used some in these tostados for lunch today.

     

I started with a tostados I toasted a bit, just to get them crispy, then added heated Goya refrieds to them. I have found these are the best canned refrieds around, other than homemade. Then the crumbled, cooked chorizo. And queso fundido leftover from Saturday night. Ran all that under the toaster oven broiler a bit to get the cheese gooey again and the topped with shredded lettuce and cilantro tossed with a leftover olive oil, vinegar, herb dressing from a few weeks ago. Good thing I only made three! If I had made more we would have eaten more.

It’s almost St Patrick’s Day and time for our annual cooking of the corned beef.  A few years ago we discovered that Carl’s in Kittery makes their own and it’s the best.  Followed a Bittman recipe we have used before.  With two sauces.  Guiness Mustard and Horseradish Cream.  A really nice wine paring: Bookcliff Cabernet Franc given to us by our friends Deb and John.
