Tri-Tip Tacos with Chipolte Peanut Sauce

Tri-Tip Tacos with Chipotle Peanut Sauce

Once upon a time, I ate a really good taco. And 10 years later it continues to live rent-free in my mind. It was a tri-tip taco and I was in San Diego, California. It’s funny, I don’t remember the specifics of the taco. All I remember is the quality of the corn tortilla, and the meat. That meat was so tender, smokey, and flavorful – I just could not handle it. So you can imagine my disappointment when I realized tri-tip was far from common here in Canada. Thankfully, in the intervening years, tri-tip has become easier to find here in Toronto. So without further ado, I present my attempt to recreate a beloved food memory with these Tri-Tip Tacos with Chipolte Peanut Sauce.

Chicken Tender Sliders with Sweet and Sour Slaw

It may only be Wednesday but these Chicken Tender Sliders have “weekend” written all over them. Inspired by the chicken nuggets I coveted in my youth, these sliders feature pita-crusted chicken tenders served on mini kaiser buns topped with sweet and sour slaw. The sweet and sour slaw is simply a bag of coleslaw mix dressed with a homemade sweet and sour sauce. This is, of course, a nod to the best nugget dipping sauce around. I know there are probably people who would disagree with that statement but BBQ has nothing on sweet and sour.

There is a commonly held belief in the culinary world that cheese and seafood should not cross paths. And there is some sound reasoning behind this belief. Strong cheese overpowers the delicate flavors of most kinds of seafood. Reasonable logic, sensible even. But as much as I want to believe and adhere to this piece of culinary gospel my love of tuna melts won’t let me. My mom’s scallop crepes with parmesan cream sauce prevent me. The prevalent popularity of lobster Mac and cheese leaves me with questions. And today’s Crab Cake Patty Melts makes me want to throw the whole notion out the window. If these sandwiches are wrong, well, I don’t want to be right.

It’s been a while since we’ve brunched on this blog. I still regret that I didn’t manage to work a holiday brunch into my content calendar this year, but I suppose that’s what next year is for. But enough about regret, let’s talk about today’s Huevos Rancheros Brunch Burger, a real looker if I do say so myself. What you’re looking at here is a refried bean and wild rice burger patty perched on top of a bun slathered with a simmered tomato salsa and blue corn tortilla chips topped with a sunny-side-up egg. There are some avocado and jalapeño slices in there as well for good measure. Sound good? Good! Let’s dive right in.
