Wondered what to do with pulled pork leftovers. These were awesome. I am wondering no more. I took pictures before anybody knew they were done. There would have been no chance otherwise!! They disappeared by the half plateful.

First higher heat cook...

First platesetter/non BGE stone cook...

The tortilla was crispy. There was mild spice to the taco cheese and there was subtle smoke from the pork and the Egg.

I now realize a close up of the ooey gooey inside would have been nice but it would also have been life threatening due to trampling.

Cooking on the Egg in the morning...priceless.

    I fixed them for breakfast. Scrambled egg, PP, Taco cheese, red and green bell pepper. I will no doubt adjust the recipe next time. It is like so many firsts you immediately think how you can improve them. I certainly liked the basic concept and it is one I can build on. Thanks for the idea.

    I have a tendency to agree, unleashed indeed. Its like I have been waiting and preparing for this versatile tool my whole life. The list of things that can't be done on the Egg is a whole lot shorter than the list of things you can do. Diggin' it here in Seattle.

    Now THAT'S the meal I would have liked to serve. But if you caught any of my post yesterday you know that the sides were an after though. I need to think in full meals instead of entrees.

    Keep it up, Q. There are a alot of things you can make with pulled pork leftovers, I made pizza with it, enchiladas, and even potstickers!

    One really good thing this forum does is stretch the imagination of what is possible. Thanks Faith. I figured out, all by myself, that what is good for pork leftovers probably works for chicken, too. Waste not, Want not.
