These tacos called to me! So yesterday I made a batch, following your recipe almost exactly-only changes were using tricolor coleslaw mix instead of shredddd red cabbage/lettuce, and adding a light coat of taco seasoning over the pork rub on the belly

Call it a tribute cook. They were amazing!

Also, those plastic taco stands are very handy for assembling and serving. 4 for $5 at Walmart. They hold two or three tacos, depending on which side is up.

Those look amazing!

If I made them again, I would too use a coleslaw mix and flavor it up with something or another! Not sure why I didn't use my homemade taco seasoning as for the rub but thank you for the great ideas!

Tacos, especially with amazing layers are hard for me to photograph. You don't really get to see all the layers unless I stop and take pictures of each step.. which I did not do this time.

I started with a center cut Duroc Pork Belly and scored the fat side, rubbed it down with mustard and Meat Church Holy Voodoo rub. That went into the smoker at 225F until it reached 165F IT then wrapped in butcher paper until it was 204F IT.

With most of the fat melted out it was as simple as pulling a pork shoulder.

Meanwhile, a shallot was diced up and put in a pot with some olive oil for a few minutes to soften up. A bunch of black garlic was added along with some salt, black pepper, cumin and a handful of chopped cilantro along with 1 can of black beans. I let those simmer for 20 minutes or so while the pork was resting.

I mixed some shredded Iceberg Lettuce with some shredded red cabbage.

I grated some Bourbon Barrel Smoked Cracked Black Pepper Cheddar Cheese.

Lastly, I mixed some Sweet Thai Chili Sauce about 50/50 with some Ranch Dressing.

I made the tacos starting with a layer of the beans, then the pork, the lettuce and cabbage and finished with the cheese and sauce.

Pulled Pork Belly? gonna have to give that a try one day.

Those Tacos would be a Huge hit around here.

I made those almost 5 years ago... but they were amazing! I bet you'll have the right seasoning to toss on the pork belly!
