    Instructions:

    1. Place the tortilla chips and guacamole into individual serving bowls and serve as a snack while you make dinner. It’s a fiesta after all!
    2. Mince the cilantro (including some of the stems – the most flavorful part!), slice the lime in wedges, drain the liquid from the taqueria pickles and pickled red onions, and place each into small individual serving bowls. Transfer the cotija cheese into a small serving bowl. Set
    3. Warm the barbacoa, pinto beans, and Spanish rice separately on the stove over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally (about 5-7 minutes). Or transfer into individual serving dishes and heat separately in the microwave, covered with a dish towel, until steamy and hot (about 2-4 minutes).
    4. In a medium-sized pan, warm both sides of the tortillas. Or place tortillas on a plate, cover with a slightly damp paper towel, and microwave in 30-second bursts until warmed through.

    Chef’s Tip: Wrap tortillas in a kitchen towel until you’re ready to eat, so they will stay warm and soft!

    TO SERVE:

    • We recommend adding the barbacoa onto the tortilla, and top with pickled red onions, cilantro, cotija, and a big squeeze of lime. Enjoy Spanish rice, pinto beans, and taqueria pickles on the side!
