So lots of inspiration from others in putting together today's meal. Seeing all the pictures of Larry's Pepper Stout Beef combined with Gary H's recent post on http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?35063-Roasted-Tomatillo-Salsa&highlight=tomatillo+salsa tomatillo salsa - I figured why not combine variations of the two and have tacos....Here goes:

A good meal. The roast was a little dry. I did not use any braising liquid when I foiled - Will have to change that up next time. Flavor was very good though and there were only a few scraps leftover...maybe it was better than I thought. Salsa was dynamite and will be made again next weekend to go with a Cuban style pork butt. My wife's fried plantains - were of course - perfect.

Thanks for looking - hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

Looks great Jim. You certainly nailed the salsa. I've got four plantains ripening in the kitchen as we speak... I'm sure everything tasted delicious.
