Recipe Box, BBQ Pork & Corn Torta & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
Our favorite go to meal is pork butt, also known as Boston butt, cooked on the grill. It’s easy to prep, all it needs is a good seasoned rub patted all over it, then put it on the grill, low and slow, and go about your day
It’s a WIN WIN, everybody likes it and there’s always lots of leftovers
Here’s a great way to make the leftovers a star
Make a torta by layering corn, green onions, pork, tortillas, BBQ sauce and a little cheese
A torta is a Spanish or Mexican version of a sandwich, using round flat tortillas rather than bread. I adapted this recipe from Cooking in Stilettos, Pulled Pork Torta
You can assemble it ahead of time, refrigerate and bake it later
Garnish with a sprinkle of cheese and green onions after baking, and cut it into wedges like a pie
We had some Broccoli Candy & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower on the side
It cooked right along with the torta
NOTE: When you are cooking 2 dishes at the same time, compromise the temperature settings. The torta which cooks at 350 and the roasted vegetables which cook at 400, both did fine at a compromise temperature of 375 degrees. Rotate pans half way during cooking and make time adjustments nearing the end of cooking. If one dish finishes before the other, remove from oven and hold it covered with foil until serving
Such an easy and tasty side dish š

Oh yum!! I just read all of this to my hubby and he’s ready to eat it all!
Happy Thoughts of Home on Thursday. Pinning to share. š
Yummmmm! Roasted Parmesan cauliflower is my favorite way to make cauliflower.
This looks delicious! You have just given me an idea of what to do with some leftover roasted chicken. Roasted cauliflower is great isn’t it? I started doing it a few years ago when I saw it on Giada’s show one time. We had some a few nights ago, in fact.
Jenna, We’ll have to try your torta! We make quesadillas using our pulled pork leftovers with some Monterey Jack cheese, red onion, jalapeno and bbq sauce. I love the addition of corn! Roasted cauliflower is the only way I like it…bring on the Parm!
Jenna, It all looks delicious! Funny, after all these years of living in or near Boston I never heard roast pork referred to as Boston butt! š I am one of the few people I guess who love cauliflower raw but your grilled version sounds yummy! I will make some this weekend! Linda
That torta looks insanely good!!!!!! OMG
Since it is after 5pm, your wonderful grilled pork torta would be fabulous for dinner tonight! Jenna, you amaze me with all your delicious recipes! Have a great weekend!
Thanks Pam! I am actually home by myself tonight and am going to have a bowl of popcorn with a tv movie marathon for dinner! >

I love BBQ anything, but the torta idea is genius. It seems like it would hold the sauce and be very moist, which is important to me and my BBQ obsession. Love it.
This looks yummy! I can adjust it for my low carb diet!
thanks Suzy! >
