Yield: 4 servings
“This is one of those dishes I grew up eating, so this was my way of taking something familiar and giving it a Texas twist with smoke and confit brisket suadero. The Fresh Origins Micro Cilantro and Micro Basil Thai bring a fresh, bright finish that helps cut through the richness, while adding another layer of flavor and aroma to the dish.” — Chef Adrian Torres
