for some follow up questions! John, “Chili’s” recipe is below, highly recommended! I pretty much followed it, but toasted cumin seeds, cloves, and whole cinnamon then into a grinder for fresh toasted seasoning flavor. Chili’s recipe is So, so good, amazing flavor and a crowd pleaser when you peel apart the banana leaves to shred that bright red pork!

, you're 100% dead on, that made all the difference! But, because it was so busy I didn’t get a plate shot of the tacos. Sorry!
A ton of food, great time and eating, Only had two pounds of this delicious pork left, I stumbled on

pulled pork tortilla soup and figured, why not? So, using Chilis Pibil pork, and noboundaries soup as a base I ended up making a “Pulled Pork Achiote Stew” This was awesome!
First the Puerco Pibil, marinade overnight.
next day into a tray with banana leaves, I found these at a Mexican Mercado nearby where I also tracked down the Achiote paste….I used the paste over the annatto powder.
wrapped up with a cup of water in each tray.
Then onto the pellet rig at 275. Big, Big shout out to

for the AMAZN Tube! It works awesome and it’s very appreciated!
They came out ready to fall apart. Fell apart in the juices and marinade!
This is when the chaos of grown ups, kids, music, food, and beer was starting to hit a 5 hr crescendo….sorry, no plate shot.
The next day…..Achiote stew….
EVOO with onion, garlic till fragrant. Then black beans with liquid. Followed bu
Then 6 cups of water and 4 chicken bullion cubes. Followed by the leftover pork and the bone. I didn’t put any other seasoning in because the pork had so much already!
I tinkered a bit, some vinegar, diced green chilis, and a little chipotle adobo sauce. Wish I would’ve had some jalapeño !
Served up with some sour cream, tortillas and cilantro! My only regret is I forgot the pickled red onion id
Good food! Thank you for your time and all the inspiration here!
