Interesting concept. We love tacos around here but I never considered making them with pork. Your links look very good so I may have to give this one a try....or at least a close variation of it.

Hmmm.....

Nice!!!

I didn't see cure #1 mentioned, I'm guessing these are fresh sausages?

 

[zippy12]

Correct Fresh! Not sure I want to alter with the cure taste....

Taco sausage this would be interesting with beer cheese

 

[zippy12]

I put queso fresco in the stuffing

 

[zippy12]

Good with salsa

Well.....

I was thinking of chopping up some links and mixing into Goya yellow rice...

But I could also see this in a quesadilla

Thanks for all the likes and comments. This came to me while stuck in rush hour traffic.

Nice job on the sausage . I have used store bought Chorizo in flour tortillas with what ever else you want . Yours would be great for that .

 

[zippy12]

well there is that leftover in the LEM stuffer

I meatloaf it on the webber

got to 205F
Burnt bottom was the best

Z12, Great idea for sausage,looks like a real winner w/the salsa ! like

Oh man that just made me think of doing a Tex-Mex meatloaf!!!!
I would serve it with a side of beans and rice and have salsa to pour over all of it!

I'm thinking you just do a normal meatloaf but make sure you have cilantro, cumin, and chili powder in the seasoning.
Instead of doing bell peppers use de-seeded and de-veined chopped jalapenos and add cheese to the meatloaf.
Finally instead of using bread crumbs or oatmeal (my meatloaf binder) use broken up tortilla chips!!!

Oh and obviously smoke it with Mesquite wood (100% Mesquite Lumberjack pellets in my case).

Wow the cogs are spinning in my head lol.:D

Wow the cogs are spinning in my head lol.:D
