Hey all, it's been a while! Sorry, haven't been on here lately... life has been a bit crazy.
Anyway, we were given three packages of ox tails... I've always loved ox tails! My Grandma used to cook ox tail stew on the wood stove.. Miss that stew! She always had some kind of soup or stew simmering on the ol wood stove! She was a great cook!
So, we saved one package for some ox tail stew. Ya know, gotta try to keep the ol staples going & teaching the kiddos the importance of that! As most of ya know, my kiddos love the smoker & kitchen! We just enjoy cooking as a fam!
Ok, on to the SV cook! Took the biggest ox tails, getting ready to season.
Took some Mc C's taco seasoning & give em a shake or two on both sides!
Put in a foodsaver bag & vac sealed for the SV! 185* for 24 hours.
As these were getting close, time to get the rest of the stuff ready! We kept these simple as to not over power the ox tails flavor. So we done a bit of shredded pepper jack cheese, green bell peppers & some maters!
Ox tails done, 24 hours later..
Put them thru the strainer.
Gotta keep this juice, good stuff!
Pulling the meat off the tail bone.
Got the meat pulled off and in a bit of a pile!
Dusted and mixed with just a bit more of Mc C's taco seasoning!
Time to get this taco built..
Put in some Herdez guacamole salsa, that stuff is awesome.. Give it a try if ya can!
I have to say, these were awesome! Very tasty, the ox tails had a different texture than the normal taco! This idea was just kinda put together for fun! The fam really enjoyed them, that's always the best part!
