Barbacoa, A Love Story
I saw a barbacoa recipe on here, I liked it, but realized when making it that I was modifying it so much that it was no longer the same recipe. So, I took down what I was doing the next time and, you're welcome ;)

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Collect all ingredients
- 2
Heat oil in pan on med/high. Brown pork loin on all sides.
- 3
Put your pork in the crock pot
- 4
In the same pan with all the porky goodness, sauteé your onions
- 5
In your blender add half your onion, all of the garlic, and Chipotle peppers. I just add the entire can/jar, we like heat
- 6
Blend those babies up
- 7
Pour in with your pork.
- 8
Drain the tomatoes, dump into the blender. Squeeze the heck out of your limes/lemons into the blender. Take out seeds if they sneak in.
- 9
A thinner sauce than earlier.
- 10
Pour it in with the pork and the Chipotle sauce
- 11
Add beef broth
- 12
Add ginger ale or chicken broth, I like ginger ale
- 13
Cook on high for 5 hrs
- 14
Remove when fork tender
- 15
Shred that beast apart like so
- 16
Return to juices in crock pot
- 17
While you wait sauteé peppers and onions. Use some of the pork juice to sweat them (or serve raw, they are beautiful either way)
- 18
Remove about 2 cups liquid, but reserve for storing and reheating leftovers (pain in the butt, but you'll thank me)
- 19
You're ready to serve up some beautiful barbacoa pork

Barbacoa for tacos Barbacoa for tacos
*After trying barbacoa from many taco trucks and restaurants.. I always walked away assuming I didn't like it. It was flavorless and disappointing to me. This dish is full of flavor. A little about me....I grew up learning only American dishes (Fried chicken, mashed potatoes etc); upon marrying a Hispanic man... I soon found out I needed to learn many dishes I'd never heard of before! After much research and practice.. I learned and am still learning much accepted tweaked recipes that have the full stamp of approval from the true connoisseurs of authentic Mexican Food. Enjoy!

Smoked Cow Head "Smoked Cabeza" Smoked Cow Head "Smoked Cabeza"
So I was hosting a graduation party, and when I went to the butcher, whole cow head was 1/2 off so I decided to give it the ol college try in the smoker.If you really wanna give it a go, these were my results.It was fun doing the whole big thing, but frankly, if I did it again, I would cut the tongue, cheek, and eyes out and smoke those separately for 8 hours. Then I'd stew the rest of the head in a big pot for 8 hours.

Poblano Chicken Poblano Chicken
Creamy and spicy, yet with a sweetness and great balance of southwestern flavor! This dish was served to my husband when in Mexico at a home of a business friend. He liked it so much and found it so different that he had them write out the recipe for me to make at home. It’s a favorite for us, simple but delicious!

Carnitas Carnitas
I concocted my carnita recipe from a few other recipes. All ingredients can be adjusted to your taste. I usually put it in crockpot but I have been known to put in on the grill as well. Some recipes call for added fat but I feel the pork produces enough on it's own it's not needed.

Chef Miguel’s Chili Verde Chef Miguel’s Chili Verde
Just in time for fall (or really anytime!) this hearty recipe has been in the making for a while and it’s now an easy and perfected recipe. It does take about 2 1/2 total hours start to finish but the prep is the hardest part which isn’t difficult except skinning the peppers. Enjoy!!

Mexican Rubbed Steak w/ Chorizo Potatoes & Mango Habanero Salsa Mexican Rubbed Steak w/ Chorizo Potatoes & Mango Habanero Salsa
My family and I are huge steak lovers and we are lovers of Mexican cuisine. So we have tried to meld 2 of our loves together with this Mexican Steak dish. The steak has a Mexican rub with a few more aromatics added to it. It is cooked like a fine dining steak with the butter basting with a few different herbs and spices added to kick up the Mexican flavor of the dish. I added 2 sauces: mango habanero and a chili sauce, and it has chorizo potatoes, chili corn, and a jicama & fennel slaw for the sides. There is a lot of things going on in the plate so the ingredients and steps are quite a bit but the taste makes it all worth it at the end.

A Taste of Spain ＊Garcia-Style Octopus A Taste of Spain ＊Garcia-Style Octopus
The dish I had in Spain was so great that I had to try recreating it.The taste is really enhanced if you use good quality salt. Also try adding some black olive slices (about 5 olives should do the trick). Don't overcook the octopus! Otherwise it will become hard.Increase the amount of octopus if you like to 300 g for an even more satisfying meal. Recipe by Nikoniko egao
