Mav's post about Italian Beef au jus reminds me of one of my very favorite regional delights - the Mexican version of a French Dip, I guess. It is SO good with spicy sauce, and I always eat it with a spoon...here's a link that explains what it is and has a picture.

One more example of how Mexican food is so much more than tacos and enchiladas...
 
This looks great Karen!!! Amen, Mexican food is much much more than tacos and enchiladas, but I have to admit, they are my fav!!!
 
It does look great! But while I love spicy I might go with the tomato based sauce the first time around, LOL. Kinda test the waters.

And I whole heartedly agree, Mexican food is so much more than what we think of it as.
 
I'd too go with the tomato based one since I don't do "really" spicy. But oh goodness...I know what to look for on the menu next time I go on vacation!!

YUMMMMY!!! Messy!!!!! Good!!!!!
