DoveTailing Tips

Buy a roast large enough to have for Shredded Beef Tacos and for Day 5, Mexican Steak Torta.

Use leftover Spanish Rice to serve on Day 5, with the Tortas. (don’t make the recipe on that day, if you use the leftover rice. Add a can of black beans to the Spanish rice, to make it different, if you wish).
