Beef Cheek Ricetilla Tacos

The rice-tillas:

Make sticky rice (this was coconut sticky rice) and put it in a round container, like a yogurt container, and let it sit overnight in the fridge.

Cut off rounds the next day and roll them into rice cakes using sticky rice flour. You need lots of flour because the rice is so sticky!

Fry them in coconut oil, or something without much flavor if you prefer.

They cohere amazingly well! And they look like tortillas.

The meat:
Braise some beef cheeks in beef stock with some red wine or beer, garlic and onions, dates, and spices.
Let it cool in the liquid.
Slice off strips of cheek and fry it in beef fat or duck fat or something tasty!

The garnishes:
Caramelize some pineapple.
Finely chop some beef (this was rib that I also braised with the cheek) and fry it to be super crispy. This is always a good idea after you've braised some meat. Doesn't matter if its dry or what.
Cilantro and jalepenos chopped.
Strips of cucumber.
Knock off 'Red Eye' Mayo: mayo, sriracha, coffee extract to taste.

Plate it real nice.

"Mmmm the mouth feel" says Ike, "I can't believe its not tortilla".
