Pork Flautas

So I wasn't sure what a flautas was, so I googled it. Well, it's pretty much the same thing as a taquito, which thanks to the frozen section at the grocery I have actually heard of. It's a filled up and rolled up flour shell (main difference from a taquito, which uses a corn shell). Also in some areas of Mexico flautas are longer and more likely to be served as a main dish. Hope that clears that up...

Pork Flautas

Review: Tasty with some toppings. We had sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Changes: There wasn't much direction on seasonings, so I kind of just threw them in there. I think it would possibly work better to use a bit of seasoning from a taco seasoning packet. Probably 2 tablespoons.

Served With: Steamed corn.

Our dilemma, how to eat this... Would you eat this with a fork or fingers?

BBQ Pulled Pork

5 boneless pork loin chops
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup Baby Rays BBQ + more for topping

Put it all in the slow cooker for 3-4 hours on low. Pull the chops out and shred. Place the pork in a oven safe dish and spoon in some of the juice and add some more BBQ. Bake covered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve warm on buns. And if your odd, add a pickle. Haha, thats for you babe!

Served With: Frozen veggies because I forgot to get corn. Oops.

You can throw whatever pork you have and do this with it. I think it might taste even better if you used broth instead of water. If you use a fatty meat might want to skim some of the fat off before you pull out the juice.

Enjoy!

Slow-Cooker Cranberry Pork

Slow-Cooker Cranberry Pork

1 (16 oz) can whole cranberry sauce
1/3 cup fat free Catalina salad dressing
1 onion, sliced
4 3/4" thick pork loin chops

Review: Simple! I really enjoyed the sauce. Meat was dry, but that was my fault.

Changes: I didn't want to buy pork loin roast, since I just got some chops on sale a week ago. So I used the chops, but didn't adjust the cooking time enough. I did 1.5 hours on high and 1.5 on low.

Served With: Fresh green beans and wheat bread.

Abigail even helped me tonight! As I cut the onions she put them in the bowl. I would like to learn to incorporate her more in the things I do. She wants to be around and help, so put her to work! She also helped unload the dishwasher, bringing me items to put on the shelves.

Nick just found out he is going to be out of town Wednesday through Friday. I've got to learn to be flexible! I'm not sure what I'm going to do for dinner Thursday night now... I enjoy sharing dinner with another adult and I never know how much Abigail is going to eat, so it doesn't really feel worth it to cook for just the two of us.
