The Omnivore is in Montréal for business today – probably noshing on smoked meat on rye from Schwartz’s Deli or bagels from St. Viateur as I write . And sadly, even if he wanted to, he couldn’t bring me bagels due to the current challenge we have undertaken, as they’d have to go in the freezer to stay fresh. Woah is me. We can get St. Viateur bagels at Metro in Toronto most times, but it is not the same as fresh out of the oven, same-day.
Lunches for the kids today are meatball marinar subs, using up part of a leftover bag of Ikea meatballs, small jar of pizza sauce and melted mozzarella cheese on sub buns;
We have pork roast left from last night, so I sliced up what was left, sprinked it with a little bit of taco seasoning and tossed it around in a fry pan – voilà – pork tacos. We also grilled a few chicken breasts on Sunday that were marinated in jerk sauce that haven’t been used yet, so I’ll offer those up also to AdvTeen – too spicy for the Rex. Whatever chicken is left will become lunch for someone– maybe jerk chicken wraps or jerk chicken ceasar salad.
Here’s what we used:
8-10 corn flour tortillas, warmed in foil in the oven
½ can refried beans (yay…now to do something with the other half - 2 more cans to go)
Favourite taco toppings – lettuce, tomato, avocado, jalapeno peppers
Salsa fresca (opened a new bottle of Herdez from in the pantry!)
It wasn't Schwartz's, but it was good none the less. Washed down with a small Heineken. Of course, the small where we were was 23oz.
