yet another taco

Slightly taco obsessed lately.
non-BGE cook, but these were good and easy, perfect for a Monday.
Pork sirloin tip roast, covered with a jar of hatch green chile salsa, all day in the crock pot, shredded after a few hours and let it simmer the rest of the day.
After last week's tacos, I ordered a tortilla press and used that to make fresh corn tortillas. Added a little salt and cumin to the masa this time. The press was a game changer, much more even thickness, very easy.

Looks great from here. Now about that tortilla press, which one did you get? And do you have a recipe? Not that I need any more kitchen gadgets...They/Them

Victoria 8 inch Cast Iron Tortilla Press and Pataconera, Original Made in Colombia, Seasoned https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HWEIKZO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ofzbyb48H6A6Y
Recipe is stupid simple, get the right masa (I bought masaca), not all is for tortillas. mix water to right consistency, that's it. I added a little spice to give them a little more depth.THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER -
Nice tacos. I'm ordering a press tomorrow.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

@Legume Great looking tacos - you're on a tear with these!
Since you're into the tacos, this is another worthy addition - makes assembly much easier. I put on the meat and cheese then back on the heat for a bit before adding the room temp items.
