One of my most favorite recipes from Bobby Flay is a Mexican style roast. The flavor combinations that are in this roast are outstanding. The sauce that he makes to pour over the roast is just as delicious as the roast. The roast just falls apart and the sauce is made using cilantro, sour cream and chipotle. Delicious! I prepared the roast for my family and we loved it! Bobby Flay rocks!
