flour tortilla seems kinda taco bell-y

Sure go ahead and use a different type of tortilla. But only if you like disgusting food.

[pissclams]

fresh grilled corn tortillas are v good and authentic (maize).  in mexico, where the taco was invented, the soil doesn't allow them to grow grain to make flour.  flour tortilla is the invention of the white man, just like taco bell and it is mocked by every true mexican.

go to a true mexican taco hut and ask for a flour tortilla and you will be shot or beheaded by a mexican drug cartel.  if you must eat a white man taco, please do not embarrass america and please don't eat it around anyone from mexico.

And don't ask for cheese on your pizza either, you provincial mongoloids.

Don't know much about the origins of the flour or corn tortillas but I did eat at some hole in the wall Mexican places (non-touristy, nowhere near the Riverwalk) last month in San Antonio and they were slinging flour torts with the carnitas and chorizo and eggs.  They weren't like the garbage-y ones at Taco Bell or that you buy at the store.  Can confirm the workers were green card holding Mexicans and the carnitas were some of the tastiest things I've ever had.

sorry muldoon hate it break it to you but you were at a gringo's place, probably a t-bell spin off.  up until a couple months ago, most people thought that taco bell was authentic too.

I work in BFE and its a pain to go out for lunch.

Looking for ideas on stuff I can "pre-make" and easily heat up/assemble at work.

I made some pasta last week that worked pretty great. Just boil up a package of penne and put it in a gallon zip lock bag.

Made some sauce out of chicken/onion/mushroom/tomatoes/garlic/spinach/whipping cream that was super delicious. 

[CNS]

Benji, I do this every week.  Sometimes sometHing as simple as grilling a bunch of chicken breasts,  sometimes Some delish chicken, myshroon, wild rice soup.   Red beans and rice,  meatloaf,  etc lately.   Also, premake ham and swiss on rye and get a cheap small george foreman and grill them at work. 

Also, I have been making a mix of equal parts chipolte-style corn salsa, spanish rice, and mex style beans in a ziplock.  That has been delish lately.

What do you have to work with at work?

[ben ji]

What do you have to work with at work?

A microwave, thats it.

Also I work 12 hr shifts 3/4 days in a row so I like to make one big meal and eat it for lunch every day. Would also appreciate any snack idea's. I've been going with cheese and summer sausage, celery/carrots, and mixed nuts recently.

Come at me with ideas, I'm totes ready.

Just make what you like and make a bunch of it.  Buy some good Pyrex or something.   Makes it easier, imo.  If you want ideas for something new, try Myrecipes.com.  have pulled several good recipes from there.

I throw stuff in a zip lock bags and put it in a old plastic grocery sack.

cheap and e-z lunch; lean cuisine (5/$10) and some fruit

snacks- make salsa and have it with chips, hummus and veggies and pretzels

to cook/make-chili, enchilada casserole (or any casserole that you like that makes tasty leftovers), grill up a bunch of your fave protein and have salads

pyrex is pretty indestructible and cheap glass bakeware, you can cook in it, store it, and reheat.  You can get a nice inexpensive set for $20 or so.

i have experimentally determined that 1 part chorizo to 4 parts sausage makes the scientifically most ultimate possible delicious biscuits and sausage gravy (BSG).

I cooked a little dish called Cheesy Cowboy Casserole at the homestead last night. It'll have your tastebuds screamin' yeeeeehaw!  Served up with all the fixins: cheese, beef, beans, taters.  You name it, partner.  So next time you get hungry, why don't you saddle on up to the table, and try out Cheesy Cowboy Casserole?
