Whatever it is, it's delicious.

First time looking in this thread and saw a tortilla chip discussion a couple of pages back. I picked up a kind of tortilla chip from the store the other month that I hadn't seen before called Xochitl (pronounced so-cheel) and holy fuck they are the most amazing tortilla chips I've ever had. They are a restaurant style tortilla chip in that they are thin and crispy. They are kind of similar to chili's, but if you've had chili's chips and salsa enough you know sometimes the chips are really good, but most of the time they are crap, well xochitl's are always good. Also, with those types of tortilla chips you know how occasionally you'll have some that overlap and stick together and they come out like crap, not xochitl's, every one of the chips is cooked to golden deliciousness.

Lend me your orange chicken and sweet and sour sauce recipes.

Asian Orange Chicken Recipe - Allrecipes.com

That's one that I've used before and liked very much. It's got a sort of strong orange flavor so cut back on the zest if you want it to be more subtle.

Anyone have some suggestions for recipes that generate awesome leftovers? The cafeteria at work has gone downhill, and I'd much rather make a large batch of something and bring it to work and reheat it/eat it cold than fund the ecoterrorism they call their food.

Nah, I'm not looking for that hardcore. An example: I'm going to make a giant batch of fried rice this weekend, and I'll add in a few spices or peppers to keep it different every day, but I can take the stuff to work 3 or 4 days during next week.

BrutulTM · Feb 20, 2014

Something like pulled pork or green chile is good because you can have it over rice, in tortillas, as a sandwich, straight from a bowl, etc. You can also cook a big ass ham or pot roast and that can make various leftovers.

Falstaff · Feb 20, 2014

I used to do basic pulled pork in the crock pot on a Sunday and that would be lunch for the rest of the week. Are you thinking something along those lines or something that offers a little more variety?

Was there a green chile recipe I missed? But yeah that's exactly the idea.

Nope that's exactly it. Gonna do that (and the carnitas everyone posted about earlier). I've done chicken a few times (and an italian version of pulled pork too). Just looking for something a bit different.

Sir Funk · Feb 20, 2014

I'd recommend the slow cooker chicken and a large batch of rice and repurpose those ingredients each day into burrito bowls and stir fry.

Make a nice corned beef on Sunday to have for Sunday dinner, and slice that bad boy for sandwiches for the rest of the week.

Make a huge pot of your favourite soup, have yummy bread with it every day.

Find a woman to make you a damned sammich when you need one.

All three are good options.

(Oh shut up. You know I'm kidding.)

Joeboo · Feb 20, 2014

You better be planning on making Reuben sandwiches at some point with all that corned beef.

The Reuben is maybe the finest sandwich on Earth...I think I'd take it even over a Philly Cheesesteak

Gravy · Feb 21, 2014

Joebro, if you ever get to St. Louis, let me know. There is an old Jewish deli here that the corned beef is like meat butter. Incredible ruebens.

Joeboo · Feb 21, 2014

I actually go down to St Louis fairly often(every other year or so), my moms family is all from there, ton of relatives in St Louis. What's the name of the place, I'll look it up for the next time I go. I'm always down for a great Reuben.

sauerkraut is gross, thus reubens are gross. It is known.
