  • Because everyone loves tacos

    Well my lovely daughter made it home for her yearly visit...
    We always have a big get together for all her cousins and friends...
    We all decided this year we would have a taco bar kinda thing...
    Because that will be easy, right?

    First day I smoked up three chuck roasts done according to Fire It Up's barbacoa recipe...


    Felt good to have the Longhorn running again...
    And the chucks looked like this when I took them in the house to shred...


    Another day we did the split butt thing on the green machine for some spicy pork taco meat...
    In the CI pot we cooked some red onion, garlic, and Jalapenos...


    At 160 degrees the pork goes in the pot with a little chicken broth and with the lid on cooks till probe tender...
    While the pork comes in the house to get shredded the stock continues to cook indirect to thicken...
    Then it all mixes together to make some awesome tender pork taco meat


    And someone said we needed to serve Pasole with the taco feast...
    So another day we smoked a 3.5 pound picnic roast till 140 degrees and cut it into chunks...


    Chunks swim for hours in chicken broth and in another pan we cooked onion, garlic, and roasted Hatch peppers...


    After the pork falls apart easily the soup is all mixed together and seasoned well


    And with no pics the taco bar consisted of barbacoa beef, spicy pork, ground beef, Pasole, fresh pico, smoked salsa, fire roasted salsa, Yuck-a-mole, lettuce, cabbage, radishes, green onions, sliced japs, lime wedges, smoked cheddar, smoked pepper jack, some other kinda cheese etc........
    Also had refries and some awesome rice cooked up just like Squirrel taught me Fried some soft corn tortillas and grilled some flour shells...Also had some crunchy taco shells just because...

    Yeah...Tacos...That'll be easy, right?

    No pics of the party or the people but I did get a pic of my first plate...


    Barely had room for Lena's awesome potato cake and ice cream for dessert...

    Party is over and me and Mamma are tired...
    Next day we filled up on the Pasole leftovers...
    This is a properly dressed Pasole Rojo...Warm and spicy...
    Yeah there is some soup under that salad


    Anyway...As always...
    Thanks for lookin at my cookin

        The visit from my daughter is always the fastest week ever...

        Last year the party was over 30 folks...This year it was only around 12 but we had enough food for 40 or more...

          Wow Craig...what an awesome array of food. Everything looked fantastic. I gotta get in on that Pasole gig...When I was a younger guy, I spent many a week at Intel Fab 11 in Rio Rancho New Mexico when they were bringing that online...We would grab lunch in the cafeteria and I swear to god they made some of the best Pasole. Do I see some Hominy in there? I have always had hominy in it.

          I hope you and Lena had a great week with the daughter. Family time together is so valuable. for the lesson on the way to righteously do up a taco bar.

              How awesome your taco bar sounds.... you know the rules about photos...

              I am sorry your week went so fast! I bet my Lena girl loved every minute of it though.
              Your pasole looks so delicious... I must ask for the recipe - I am seriously lacking in good mexican eats around here.. I would kill for a bowl of good pasole, birria, menudo or cocido. xoxox

                    OMGOODNESS That all looks fantastic. Especially the Pasole! Kind of makes me want to ask if I can come over and help you eat. For sure on that cook!
