Here we go again!  Another week with limited supplies and trying to make the most of our freezer, pantry, and fridge stash of food. I ran across some charro beans I had made months ago and tucked away in the freezer.  They were already seasoned with smoky bacon goodness.

Same with the cornbread...it was a smoky chipotle cornbread I made and froze a while back. I found the frozen skirt steak leftover from when we had fajitas.

When I saw the cocoa powder in the basket, a coffee rub came to mind since my ingredients were leaning toward a Mexican inspired dish.  However, lessons learned upon first tasting the steak...I would have to add a few other ingredients to tame the flavor, and I ended up with an Asian-Mexican fusion dish lol!  Here's what happened.
