Smoked Pork Chop and Chilaquiles

On Friday night Craig cooked our remaining two Neuske's pork chops.  He made a delicious sauce with mustard and white wine vinegar that was really excellent against the salty meat.  I requested white rice pilaf with shallot and mustard seeds, and he sauteed Swiss chard for our veggie.  Yum.  Wish we had more of those pork chops!






Last night I made my own version of Rick Bayless' chilaquiles.  It's sort of like Mexican hot dish, with tortilla chips broken up in chipotle-tomato broth.  I added white beans and skipped the chicken, and subbed spinach for the Swiss chard.  I made my own tortillas and then baked them to make chips.  It was my first time making tortillas and I don't have a press, so they were sort of thick, but tasted good and I was proud I made them.  We topped the dish with guacamole, Greek yogurt, shredded queso blanco, and cilantro.  This was really easy and everything can get done ahead of time.
