🥄 Texture
Creamy and gooey from the melted cheese and milk with soft, pillowy tortilla strips that have absorbed the sauce. Ground pork provides bite and slightly crumbly, chewy meatiness throughout the dish.
👃 Aroma
Warm, savory notes of browned pork and melted cheese dominate, joined by a bright tomato undertone. There is a mild dairy sweetness and toasty tortilla scent in the background.
🍷 Pairs Well With
Medium-bodied Sangiovese (Chianti) or a crisp Mexican lager to cut the richness and complement the tomato and pork flavors.
🥗 Side Dishes
Simple green salad with a zesty vinaigrette; garlic bread or crusty Italian bread to soak up sauce; or roasted vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers) or a side of Spanish rice and black beans.
