So I went to my Mexican market and picked up some marinated flap meat. Put it over some direct high heat.



Toasted some La Brea Bakery torta rolls I picked up at Costco. (very good bread!!)



Served up with some El Mexicano lime flavored mayo, tomato, avocado and something I like to call 408 orange sauce.



Plated with some Spanish rice and a Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA (VERY GOOD BEER!!)



Want a bite??



Thanks for looking!!
 
Orale'! I like the "408"!

One of my all time favorites>>> Torta's...And your's look great Andres. I love to throw in some roasted jal's in mine.
 
Shaun the sauce is 100% secret!!!

There are a lot of taquerias in San Jose that serve an orange sauce. Mine is similar, but better!!

Yeah, great sammich, but tell us yanquis what's the 408 sauce. Or at least tell us the basics of any orange sauce. Thanks.
 
Ok. So I won't give away the recipie but I will help you guys out a little bit.

How do salad dressings become creamy? Well lots of ways but one way is emulsion.

Take a red salsa, emulsify and it becomes a creamy orange salsa.

My Orange sauce is 100% vegan, but it is creamy. That is one of the secrets.

If we ever have a get together, I would provide some for anyone who wants some.
