Duck Fat Tortillas Revisited

Duck Fat Tortillas w/ Skirt Steak

When I started this blog, the first video I made was for flour tortillas made with duck fat.

Well, like many first attempts, mine could've used some polishing.  For this reason, I've decided to do an update on my tortilla recipe.

I made an entirely new video that is much shorter and is completely devoid of background noise I somehow didn't seem to notice the first time.  The new video also has a little bit more info on how to get your desired tortilla dimensions.

Additionally, I converted the recipe to go by weight, so you can make a batch of any size without worrying.  While this isn't exactly a new recipe, I hope you still benefit from the revisiting of my most popular post.  The taste and texture of a homemade tortilla can't be beat!  Enjoy.

Super Bowl Food: Green Chili Empanadas

For the second of my three posts this week on "Super Bowl" food, I'll be sharing a dish representing the Denver Broncos' home state of Colorado.  In the first post of the series, I shared Colorado green chili, which is a popular meal in Broncos country.

That recipe makes calls for two and a half pounds of pork shoulder, so you're bound to have some leftovers.  With regards to the chili world, leftovers aren't a bad thing-- you can stuff them into burritos or just heat up and throw on some rice-- but with the Super Bowl coming up this weekend, you need something economical and tasty to serve your guests.  These green chili empanadas are perfect for that.

Not only are the ingredients for my green chili recipe inexpensive, the only thing left to do is make a little bread, which is dirt cheap.

What's Green, Fragrant, and Consumed All Over Colorado? Chili, Of Course!

Mango Salsa: You Couldn't Eff This Up If You Tried

By far the most simple thing I've posted, this mango salsa recipe is barely even a recipe.  There's no cooking, and there's no real need to measure anything.  In essence, there's no way you could mess this up.  Just make sure your ingredients are fresh and the flavors will be there. 

Pollo Tomatillo (Chicken in Tomatillo Sauce)

Summer is here and in about a month or so a lot of you are going to be so bored of chicken on the grill, you won't know what to do with yourselves.
