Title: Leftover Steak Tacos with Avocado
Post by: ACW3 on August 05, 2015, 08:20:20 PM
Well, I tried the method Dee posted about dropping an unpeeled avocado into a boiling pot of water for exactly  ten seconds and moving it to a tub of ice water.  I did that and served the avocado with a meal of leftovers.

I had four nice slices of ribeye steak leftover from dinner the other night.  I chopped them up and added them to a pan of thinly sliced onions that I was sweating down.

Added some of my homemade taco seasoning (not too spicy, and not much salt).  Plated with a couple of small soft taco shells, some shredded four cheese Mexican blend, some chunky salsa and the avocado, chunked up in the shell.

Came out really good, if I do say so myself.  The avocado was very tasty with the rest of the meal.

The avocado after two hours still looked totally fresh.  I will try this again.  It may help make my guacamole look fresher longer, I hope.

As you mature in age you may find that you will start to share more meals with your significant other.  If you buy a big enough steak, (which I often do) you can count on having a second meal from said leftovers.  However, having said that, if my son and daughter-in-law and grandson are here for dinner, there could and I stress could be leftovers at the end of the meal.  They will not be there by morning!

There is never, I repeat never any leftover bacon.

Thank you Doc.  In addition to learning a lot about cooking, we learn a lot about word smithing.
