The Great HBT Taco Thread

[S-Met]

Fire roasted hatch chile for a batch of verde. Slow stewing tonight, will be taco tomorrow.
*reminder, don't touch your testes until you have thoroughly washed your hands. Still a little tingling of the dingaling after an hour. At least it wasn't as much fun as when I did the same with habanero and scotch bonnets this summer.*

Yeesh. I feel for you. Definitely have made that mistake before. Diced a massive amount of jalepenos for spicey carrots and took a little wizz. I was told the carrots were nice and spicey. Couldnt tell though. Pretty sure there was more jalepeno on them than on the carrots

We're gonna do smoked pork butt tacos for my son's birthday this weekend. I was just going to wing it until I saw this thread. If you have any suggestions to make them awesome, much appreciated.

Not sure how I missed this thread.... My favorite home made version is with leftover brisket from the smoker. The best tacos I have ever tasted were purchased out of an ice chest in the back of a truck in Odessa Texas. The little lady came buy every day and sold out quick!

 

[S-Met]

Have you smoked before? There is a who's smoking meat this weekend thread too, bit of good info there.

 

[lschiavo]

Yes. I've had an ugly drum for years. More wondering about seasonings and fixings etc...

Opinion, but pork butt is mostly idiot-proof. Keep your heat mostly between any range of numbers you choose and it will be good.

Whenever possible, I do bone-in. I try and season 1-2 days in advance. I'll dry off with a paper towel then add a salt-heavy dry-rub. My theory is salt draws out the water, but then re-absorbs the seasoning into the meat through osmosis. May be total BS, but works in my head.
Set it on a cooling rack on a cookie-sheet nd let it sit uncovered in the fridge for 8-30hrs.

Smoke with whatever you want, because its that forgiving. Just take it up to 180deg and you will be fine. Sometimes I'll wrap it in banana or palm leaves to keep it moist. If motivaed, I'll cool it enough to handle bare handed. Shred, then pan-fry for carnita-like tacos.

Welcome, fellow taco lovers!

This is the place to discuss all things taco. Express your general adoration of tacos. Share your favorite recipes. Are you eating tacos right now? Post a picture!

Friendly debate is welcomed. Corn vs flour. Soft vs crunchy. Beef vs chicken. Pork maybe? Vegetarian. Even *shudder* Taco Bell.

Explore different taco styles from around the world. Mexican, Greek, Italian, 'Murican. Almost all cultures have their own take on the taco. After all, anything can be a taco if you try hard enough.



Note that I put this in DRMM. Given the usual rabble of hooligans this thread is likely to attract, it will be near impossible to keep 100% on topic. And that's OK!
Tacos by their very nature inspire a sense of fun and frivolity.

soft flour taco , grilled marinated shrimp with thin purple cabbage and an avocado ,cilantro ,onion,w/ lime juice chutney. add Cholula verde or chipotle. sour cream if you like. wash it down with a hoppy citrusy beer.

 

[Soulshine2]

This is my kind of taco.
