Title: Ancho Pork Belly Tacos? Why Not!
Post by: RG on May 06, 2016, 06:13:27 PM: Ladies and Germs, allow me to post yet another cook from days gone by. This one is another from Mrs. RG, she's got skillz :P

So it would have it that my Wife can cook her tail off. She would burn water when we first got married but she has come a LONG way since then :)

Her latest creation was a spiffy little taco that she made from a pork belly rubbed in some Ancho Chili powder and other things that she did a dry brine in overnight. She cooked it in two stages, 30 minutes at 500° and an hour at 275° (the benefits of having multiple cooking vessels I guess).

Here's what it looked like on the grill

She made up some pickled red onions and a multi pepper salsa that she served in some Blue Corn "bowls". She took some fresh pineapple and diced into cubes and dusted in the ancho rub and sauteed in a pan. She then warmed a flour tortilla in another pan and topped it with the pork belly slices, pineapple, pickled red onions, fresh avocado slices, cilantro and queso fresco and a little lime squeeze. Served with some black beans and cilantro rice and it was MAHVELOUS!!!!

Here is a close up showing the goods :P

Here's a few more pics to drive the point home, lol

We love tacos. Mind you we tend to stick to a very basic pork/onion/cilantro on soft warmed corn tortilla....but it looks like I'm gonna have to step it up!

Tim,
This is sounding like a road trip to me. What do you think? I'll even bring the beer!
