    With the drunk Mexican holiday coming up, going to give this a try.  Have had it bookmarked for a while.  Thought others might want to see it too.

    Whoa. From way Back in the photobucket days. We are actually making this for a Mexican Street Food/BGE class that we are teaching soon. I’ll take some new pics and post them here if I remember

    Nothing like reviving an oldie but a goodie.  Much.ä better than the boiled brisket thread.

    Been way too long since we’ve made this. Doing a practice run tonight so we don’t screw it up
    tomorrow.

    Mexican Street corn (undressed). We will dress it up tomorrow. Just wanted to get a practice run in. Bribed for 2 hours then grilled direct at 350 for 10 min (turning every 2 min). Was plump and
    delish. 



    Smoky meat headed for the braise.  



    Chef’s meal of Marsalawurst sausage from our pigs. I took one of the pieces of corn and slathered in ghee and Dizzy Pig Bombay Curry-ish. That was pretty damn good!

    dont know if it was on purpose, but your photobucket account is set on public veiwing so every pic in your account shows. might want to reset it to private so only pics your putting up show
    Me thinks you may have stumbled across too many photos of little Centex.  ;)

    Class was a hit. TFJ still has it. We did some wok fried sopapillas with cajeta caramel that are probably worth a post. I didn’t take one freaking pic or get a bite of food. Im a Dumbass.

    This looks incredible. Has anyone ever done the braise portion with an instant pot?  I’m curious what cooking times would be. Thx!!

    You certainly could (and should if you have one). Not sure on timing but I’m all for using a pressure cooker when available.

    We did the braise in our IP this time. Came out really nice. 45 min with a quick release. If it’s not quite ready, you can just simmer until it falls apart.

    How much and what type of liquid did you put in the IP for the braise?

    Braise liquid recipe is on page 1 of this thread. Add that liquid to cover the meat or up to the max line of your IP.

    We reduce the liquid in the IP after the meat comes out and then add it to the shredded meat until it has the flavor we want

    I have this thread bookmarked so this served as a gentle reminder that I've still yet to make it. Did tell the wife beef was the next cook. Now to make the time!

    It has been too long since we made this but so glad we did. We had forum royalty ( @caliking ) visiting our fine town yesterday. He was hanging with @20stone so janell and I headed over for the afternoon. We are pretty  much empty nesters at this point so we are always looking for an excuse to cook something for more than 2 people. I had some Wagyu short ribs and a nice chuckie left from my last shady parking lot meat deal that made for some mighty fine tasting barbacoa. Janell made homemade corn tortillas and @20stone provided all the accoutrements. @caliking made some amazing lemon Madelines for dessert. Good times were had by all! 














    Quite the feast!

    BTW- I used the rub from the APL “Fajita marinated flank steak” recipe in serious barbecue on this one. Super simple and was tasty. I'll likely use this from now on. 

    1/4 cup mild chile powder
    1.5 tsp course Black pepper
    1.5 tsp kosher salt

    One of the more fun meals I've had in some time. The others being other cooks we've gotten together for :) 

    The barbacoa was outstanding. Everything was. Y'all could run Operation Tortilla Relief, as I've never seen a shorter walk through the door to fresh tortilla deployment time.
