Beef tacos

byrne092

Just saw the barbacoa beef taco recipe that @The Cen-Tex Smoker posted and had to give it a go. Used some southwest style rubs, oak and pecan for smoke. In the early stage right now. 





Not egged, but a tasty breakfast sandwich.

Darn you!  I thought I'd wait for wings for lunch, but now I'm heading out to the Blackstone for a breakfast sammy.

@blastingJealous of that. I haven't been able to convince the better half that a blackstone is a necessary addition yet.

Just pulled and put it in with the sauce. The sauce has the kitchen smelling amazing.

Is that mole?

Finished product. It was very good, tons of flavor. Turned out pretty spicy though because the Mrs. decided to pick up some dried ghost peppers to put in with the pepper mixture. We also made fresh corn tortillas for the first time. Tacos were topped avacado, pickled onions, radish, cilantro, and queso fresco. Paired the tacos with homemade rice, Mexican black beans, and sweet corn cake. Also had some fresh guac and chips. Washed it all down with some margaritas. 

@pgprescott No, I'm not sure what you would call it, maybe a spicy Mexican chili sauce? I got it from @The Cen-Tex Smoker Barbacoa recipe. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Those are not your average taco fixin's there. Well done. Now I'm wanting to make some chili sauce.

pgprescott

Yeah, I'd give that plate an A+

Thanks @eggsurance_agent @SciAggie and @pgprescott ! It was an all day cooking event (other than breaks to watch some football), but worth the outcome. We both enjoy cooking, so it made for a fun Sunday. We also finished the Mexican feast with a tres leches cake. 

Anyone have any tips on making fresh corn tortillas? They turned out pretty good, but we both agreed that they left room for improvement.
