    @Ozzie_Isaac Here ya go:

    Baja Wave Tequila Lime Tacos
    Prepare a bone in Pork Butt on the BGE (Salt and Pepper Only Rub) and pull. Add the Tequila BBQ Sauce, warm/heat your mini corn tortillas (We used the 4.5” White Corn) by heating either on a gas stove top or over an open flame on the egg, I used my Mini. Spread the Chipotle Aioli to cover the entire tortilla, place the Tequila BBQ Sauced pulled pork, place some of the Tequila Lime Cilantro Slaw, sprinkle with some Queso Fresco crumbles, margarita salt (lightly) and a few drops of fresh lime juice.

    To make each of the parts see below:
    ____________________________________________________________________________________
    Tequila BBQ Sauce:
    • 1 small California/New Mexico dried chile
    • One 6-ounce can tomato paste
    • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup white tequila
    • 1/4 cup lime juice
    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
    • 1 tablespoon molasses
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Begin by placing the dried chile in a bowl with 1/4 cup hot water to rehydrate. In a medium saucepan, add the tomato paste, light brown sugar, tequila, lime juice, garlic and molasses. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Add in the chile and soaking water, season with salt and pepper and simmer until the flavors meld together, 2 to 3 minutes. Use as a traditional BBQ Sauce (remove chile) or you can process with a blender to use as a dipping sauce.

    ____________________________________________________________________________________
    Chipotle Aioli:
    • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
    • 3 Tbsp sour cream
    • 3 Tspb chipotles in adobo sauce, chopped
    • 2 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
    • Juice from ½ a lime

    Add all ingredients to a small bowl, and mix together to combine, blend all of the ingredients together with an emulsion blender to a smooth consistency for spreading.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Tequila Slaw with Lime and Cilantro:
    • ¼ cup mayonnaise (such as Hellman’s)
    • 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
    • 1 Tbsp silver tequila
    • 2 tsp sugar
    • ¼ tsp kosher salt
    • 1/3 cup finely chopped green onions
    • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
    • 1 (14-ounce) package coleslaw

    Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss.

    On how much to make?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With a net of 4-4.5lbs of pulled pork this should yield about 60 4.5" Tacos

    Any questions just send me a PM.

    We hope you enjoy these.

    @hotch thanks!

    The family is getting tired of me serving hunks of meat.  They have asked for more "prepared" dishes.  This fits the bill perfect.

    Do a search here for our Margarita cookies. They are a fav of @henapple 's.

    They are scratch made so the family can join in.

    That sounds great and looks better! Believe it or not, I'm not sure I've ever HAD tequila! :blush: 

    I have done butts with just s&p (and white oak smoke) the last couple of times. I like it a lot! 

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
