Wow CR, that is all amazing! Not sure what else to say other than ya sure hit a grand slam with this thread! Very nice Sir! Thumbs Up

Too kind and thank you.

Ah man!!! Its about 11:30 PM here and I'm reading THIS??? It's bedtime and now I'm starving. Thank God I've got some pulled pork in the fridge.

That's sure some spread you put on there. It looks fantastic!!

POINT

I'd lay on a whole lot more praise for a job real well done but....I gotta get something to eat. Your fault my friend. LOL.

Nothing like a good midnight snack to help ya sleep like a baby... Just trying to help. :biggrin:
Thanks Gary, always gracious with your praise.

Holey mother of TACOS! I think the taco bar has just been raised! :drool:

And here I thought the taco bar was like a Limbo bar, how laid back can you get while eating a taco?
I'm kind'a short at 5'10", so I'm not gonna raise it too high... As long as I can still reach up and grab another taco.
Appreciate it BEV.



ETA: Thanks for the Points y'all.

Great post!

I love the more authentic dishes you made especially the pork guisado dish.  I do a green chile pork posole that is very close and has hominy added to it.

Makes me think to try and do a smoked turkey or chicken mole dish and post it.  I've never thought of smoking the meat first but I may give that a shot some time in the future :)

Keep it up!

Muchas gracias TBM,
I love Mexican food, always have.
Your Posole sounds good to me, just a few differences between Guisado (stew) and Posole (soup).
Drop the tomatillos and flour, add hominy, and you've Posole.

I would love to see some good Mole dishes.
While I like Mole, my family is picky and non-adventurous about such stuff.

After reading your post I went and tried beef cheeks on the Weber smoker with Mesquite 3 hours then braised it beef broth and hot Mexican salsa for 2 hours. It was falling apart it was really good taste like oxtail but a lot cheaper. I love Jamaican oxtail I'll make my own now from beef cheeks. wife and daughter loved it then I told them what it was they didn't like that. I don't care more for me. I made your rice to it was awesome. Those two things were better than the Mexican places here and I'm talking about the mom and pop places. Berlin New Jersey area. The cheeks were for tacos.

Thanks Troy, really glad you tried some and liked them.
That rice is something that brings smiles to many faces.
Try my enchiladas.

Thank you Chile! I will have to handle it with care, I've already got 3 ex wives, I can't handle any more proposals! :D

Saving the enchilada thread also. Gonna do the beans from this one . I agree on the poached chicken . Makes great nachos and tacos .

Can one be complimented too much on a spread....Hell no especially when it is what The Chili man laid out.
Great food your family gets and that is a fact.
Love cow cheeks...they make good tamales to.

Thank you Kit, very kind with the praise.
I make it a point to enjoy beef cheeks fairly regularly.

Much appreciate it Al, thanks.
Oh man, two chowhounds could raise a serious ruckus at a block party.

Yet another great meal from Chili! I used some tips from one of your post to turn some left over pulled chucky into barbacoa tacos, and they were great. I would be risking life and limb if I tried to use short ribs for anything "spicy" (with my wife anything beyond salt and garlic, is "spicy"), but I bet I could get away with cheeks if I can find them. yet another one of your post bookmarked. You really need to setup an index like Bear, it sure would save me sometime LOL!

 

[ksblazer]

Those dishes look fantastic!!

Not sure if I can get Mexican food like that around my area.

Need to work on my Mexican cooking skills. If they turn out halfway close to what you made there. I'd be very happy.

Thanks Pete, appreciate it, glad you like them and get some mileage out of my cooks.
