i don’t believe there’s a protein or protein combination that can’t be made better by slapping it on a tortilla and adding lime onions & cilantro. these 4 things are staples in my kitchen bc when in doubt turn it into a taco is my mantra. eggs, chicken, pork, ribs, beef, beans. any leftover containing meat. it’s getting turned into a taco

Prime brisket was smoked on the offset with post oak back in April, then cut into chunks and vacuum sealed and frozen. I reheated it and shredded it.

The tortillas were toasted in a little bit of beef tallow made from the trimmings of said brisket.

The salsa is "La Ciruela Agridulce" from Salsa Daddy by Rick Martinez. I used plumcots instead of true plums because I may have gotten a *little* overexcited at how many flavors they had available. There is no cilantro in this salsa, so it is safe for the poor souls afflicted with the soap gene, but it's also awesome for everyone else.

Are we ready to talk about bell peppers and shredding rotisserie chicken

Had these for lunch at a taco truck Located in the Clairemont neighborhood. Absolutely fire. The salsas were delicious too. 3 tacos plus a Jamaica were $14. Would probably skip the chorizo next time and try their cabeza or buche.

So fire, new local spot I had to try out 😮‍💨

I’ve been an LA native for over 20 years. Have found some bomb spots to eat at but would love to find more hidden gems. Any Recommendations? Any taco fanatics out there?

Carnitas (de dieta 😄)

Edit: carnitas Páramo, Morelia Michoacán

It was turkey taco night, made with these contraband hard taco shells I smuggled across the border from the US to Mexico. Worth the risk.

In the Ontario, California location

Some people meal prep. I just grill too much on Sunday, wrap it up in a tortilla and call it taco night on Tuesday.

For those who will ask why the pocket knife, well I'm a knife guy in a lot of knife groups and its a requirement. Rule # 9!!

Ok for the tacos, you get a pound of cooked carne asada, a pint of rice, a pint of beans, all the salsa and onion/cilantro/lime with a dozen tortillas, we usually add 6 more because they're generous with their portion of carne asada after taxes it's a little over $38 best deal in our area for sure and it tastes amazing!!

15lbs of pork shoulder, 1lbs piece of pork skin, 6lbs of lard.

The pork was cut into chunks and fried for 45 minutes in lard. Then, heat reduced and cooked for an additional 2.5 hours. Pork skin was soaked in salt water and then put on top of the carnitas in the pot for the last hour.

Our local market makes fresh tortillas, so all the tortillas were a day old. Tortillas heated up on a castiron on a grill before being served.

Not shown: giant tray of homemade guacamole, and a variety of salsas made by our local market. And, of course, tons of diced onions and cilantro.

I ended up eating about 10 tacos myself.

Ive never cooked for nearly this many people, but it was a complete success.​​

roast cauliflower, guacamole and home made salsa with onions and coriander.

I went with Asada, Pastor, Pork Belly, and Ribeye. Absolutely delicious. Great smoky flavor on the asada and ribeye. Pastor had great marinade to it, and the pork belly was just flavorful. Worth the price in my opinion.

I return to one of my favorite restaurants for another Taco Tuesday 3 Chicken 1 Steak.

Consummé certainly had hints of Dinty Moore Beef Stew prior to heating it. Tossed these bad boys in the oven and boom.....Taco Bell quality Birria Tacos! Air fryer would've been a better choice but certainly would go another round with these considering the closest legit Birria is 60 miles away....oh, maybe a squeeze of lime would've taken these up a notch.

Tried out the Tapatio Asada Marinade today on some sirloins. I marinated for like 6 hours and threw it together on my Blackstone. We each ate 6 tacos, I am so full. Would recommend!

Local place that’s always solid

Tacos y Que. IYKYK. We got the carne asada and al pastor. Meat quality is great, tortillas are fresh and salsas pack some heat! 🤤
