Just curious to see everyone's cooks.  I'll post mine after I make it!
Shortly I'll be shaking up a margarita (first things first) and then grilling some skirt steak and chicken for fajitas.  More on that later...
So whattya got?
As most people have probably seen the meme already, there's one going around like this;
   "What if Cinco De Mayo, Falls on Taco Tuesday, and it's ruined by a virus named after a Mexican beer?" :o
Well... THAT DOESN'T APPLY TO US!  We were going to all grill at home anyway. =)

    Going with venison shoulder barbacoa. Rolled venison shoulder roast, seasoned with DP Game On and kosher salt. Smoked over apple for 1.5 hrs then into a braise. Braise is chipotle chilis in adobo, lime juice cider vinegar, and red onion. Spiced with smoked paprika, cumin, and cloves.

    Pulled chicken tacos from the Instant Pot.  No grilling this year.

    We did some skirt-steak and veggies on the Blackstone, and NY strips on the Large BGE, washed down with a Pacifico. Cheers!

    Flank steak tacos 

    Nice! Is that a small egg or do you have a little grate the fits right down near the coals? (that's not a bad idea, actually)

    While I grilled the Fajita Chicken and peppers, SWMBO made Queso



    Finished Tacos-

    Not quite in Austin, TX City Limits
    Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

    It’s a Large but put the grill grate down by the plate setter. Camera angle and full lump make it look closer than it actually is

    The Finish! Venison shoulder barbacoa. While I had the egg going, I thought I’d seize the money and threw on my first attempt at maple buckboard bacon. The barbacoa was nothing short of outstanding. It was a Hank Shaw recipe and it is the type of stuff that wins “People’s Choice” awards at game dinners. The bacon was good, a little less salty than I like it but more than serviceable...
