The hubby and I recently went to Cabo for our TEN YEAR anniversary. I was excited for the beach and sleeping in – the food didn’t even occur to me. DUH, right? Fresh tacos 24/7? OH YESSSSS. Real, legit, authentic food from Cabo …. I could die happy. Most importantly, I FINALLY discovered my favorite type of meat for any kind of taco: AL PASTOR.
No lies, when we came home from Cabo, I was having Al Pastor taco withdrawals. I can’t make this stuff up. Luckily I have a local place that I can buy Al Pastor meat already marinated and ready to grill. So easy and so good.
Then the thought came to me …. why not combine two of my favorite things: Pasta and Al Pastor? I mean, a Chipotle Pasta Al Pastor?
The world might implode. TOO. MUCH. DELICIOUS.



Can I also just say how much I love buying Alfredo sauce? Yes, I have my own recipe for Alfredo , but something about buying it is kind of like a treat. It reminds me of quick and easy dinners when I was a kid. This Barilla Alfredo sauce is TOP NOTCH. (AND I might have a sweet coupon for you here!
