The good thing about tortillas is the fact that you can use almost anything to whip into a wonderful recipe. For this post, I combine pork and shrimps (two of my favorites) into a yummy Shrimp Meat Tortilla good for young and old folks alike. I say so, because from my GrandMa down to my little 2-year old boy, this all-around recipe can be served any day. I prefer to serve this during breakfast to break the monotony of cooking plain eggs. With meat and shrimps in the mix, you can tease the taste buds of the people you love. An ordinary breakfast can be turned into something full of smiles and praises whenever I place this dish on the table.

There are still many versions of tortilla that you can prepare out of mixed meats but I always find this recipe as the best meat combination. You can trust me on this!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup ground pork
  • ½ cup shrimps shelled(cut finely)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • ½ cup onions (chopped)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup sliced tomatoes
  • 4 tbsp shortening
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Cooking Procedure:

  • Sauté garlic, onion and tomatoes in shortening. Add ground meat then shrimps and continue cooking until well cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the cooked mixture from the pan and set aside.
  • Grease the pan with enough shortening and line with a banana leaf. Beat the eggs and add the cooked mixture. Pour the mixture over banana leaf and let cook. Line a plate with another banana leaf and turn the tortilla upside down. Put it back in the pan to brown the other side.
  • Serve hot.

Being one of the most favorite foods of Filipinos, the adobo has several variations. The chicken pork adobo is a recipe that is always present in the weekly menus of families since it is a combination of two of the most loved meats for the Pinoy palate. It also works to the advantage of moms who get confused between pork adobo and chicken adobo because there is no more need to make a choice between the two. In my case, my husband loves pork adobo while my son always requests for chicken adobo. To satisfy them both, I always end up cooking chicken pork adobo instead.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds chicken breasts (boneless, skinless and cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • 1 1/4 pounds pork loin roast (boneless and cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • 2 cloves garlic (smashed)
  • 2 tablespoons crushed garlic
  • 2 bay leaves (torn)
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns (coarsely ground)
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons salt

Cooking Instructions:

 

  • Use the salt and pepper to season the chicken and pork meat. Then put all the meat in a stock pot. Add the torn bay leaf and crushed garlic. Coat with white vinegar and soy sauce. Cover the pot and place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight to marinate.
  • Cook under medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer until meat is tender when tested with a fork, usually takes about 1 ½ hours. To prevent drying out, add a little amount of water if required.
  • Remove the meat from the cooking liquid. Place the liquid back to the stock pot and let simmer.
  • Over medium-high heat, cook the meat in vegetable oil while stirring. Go on cooking until all the sides of the meat turns brown. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the remaining smashed garlic.
  • Add all the meats to the simmering liquid and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened.
  • Serve hot with plain white rice.
