This was my attempt at making lamb barbacoa. I'm sure its not authintic but it came out good and flavorful. I'll try and keep it short and sweet.

Started with a leg of lamb. This only got a good amount of salt then on to the smoker with some mesquite wood.

Off the smoker and into a cast iron deep pan/dutch oven. Sliced onions and sliced oranges. A few bay leaf.

Then made the sauce to pour over top. Guajillo pepper,chipotle pepper, orange juice,white vinager,brown sugar,beef stock,cumin,coriander,oregano,cinnamon , garlic.
The peppers were toasted the re hydrated. All blended together in the blender

It was then covered with the lid and back in to the smoker until it was falling apart. I pulled the bone out and pulled the meat. Removed the oranges and the bay leaf and mixed the sauce that it cooked with back in

Travis, that looks absolutely delicious!! Excellent job and a really nice presentation. Vibrant colors that make it just jump off the screen and scream that it's ready to be devoured. You need to stop this though. When you posted the crispy carnitas I had to make them but I used beef ribs instead of pork. Man they were good!! To this day Tracy's favorite pulled meat meal by far. Got some pics and thought about posting them but you're still in the limelight I believe so gonna let you bask in your much deserved glory. Great job my friend!!
