Time for some smoked carnitas tacos

[gunzby]

I finally have a weekend where it’s not raining, not 95 and not 80% humidity.

Watched a video from Ernie Tex on smoked carnitas and have been dying to try it because I love me some carnitas tacos.

Cubed up, seasoned with black pepper, some Badia taco seasoning, a garlic jalapeño rub and a pork rub I had. On the smoke at 225F, spritzed with Coke after an hour, flipped and waiting on 170F to wrap.

Till then I’ll drink coffee, not sweat for a change and watch the hummingbirds fight over who has control of all four feeders.

Time to wrap. Added about a third of a jar of Wagyu tallow, the rest of the coke, onion and squeezed two oranges.

Back in till it hits 205

Time to eat!!!!!

It looks really good... Those three mine?

Carnitas? Hmmm... Sort of a reverse process.
Smoke-n-sear followed by a not-quite a confit, but the same result.

Whatever, it looks damned delicious on my monitor.

Before chopping it up I did a quick sear in a pan. Definitely good. Smashed five tacos. Will do again
