Good morning guys...

It is a gorgeous Sunday morning here in NY. Low temps, low humidity and I don't have one chore to do. It is rare, so I want to take advantage of it.

I need a few suggestions on what to cook today? It is just for me and my family (wife, 2 kids), so I don't want to go crazy. I want to keep it fairly simple, but not that simple :p

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks and enjoy the day
 
Fajitas?

Some carne asada meat (beef or chicken or both), sliced bell peppers, onion, some cheese, some guacamole, soft torillas.
 
When in doubt, I almost always go with pork ribs, some creamy slaw and BBQ beans or garlic bread. If you want something faster, a spatchcocked chicken works well with the same sides.
 
I like Bob’s spatchcock thought, I have a bunch of leftovers from last nights “Burrito bar” dinner which will get used tonight, I think.
 
I decided to mix two suggestions. I'm smoking chicken thighs and yellow/green.
/red peppers. I'll chop some of the meat, stir in some sofrito and grill some tortillas. Pair it all with a nice Tempranillo

Oh yeah, I already made jerky!
 
- 30 minutes at 300
- Place in alum tray and cover for 90 minutes at 275
- Remove from tray, drench in sauce, and back in the smoker for 20 minutes at 275

And this is my post-dinner cigar

Looks like excellent choices!😀
 
Ok, what time? I'll bring the vino

BTW - this one goes great with rib eye.
