Nothing says Saturday like a slow cooked meal.
Menudo is one of J's favorite foods, so over the years we've made it many times. My version is far from perfected, but I do know one secret is to use a lot of beef or pigs' feet to create a flavorful and unctuous broth, and then add two or three kinds of tripe to round out the flavors and textures.
Today I also tried my hand at homemade corn tortillas. I may never buy corn tortillas again. Homemade tortillas aren't visually appealing, even in restaurants. But what they lack in looks, they make up for in flavor and texture. They are deeply corn-licious, and have a lot of craggy edges that crisp up when pan fried on both sides. Perfect for dunking in menudo, or for making little tacos of tripe, cilantro, onion, and lime.

unctuous? Please, human language only :-)
What? No brownie points for making up the word corn-licious?
