Beer and Tequila Carnitas Tacos

For the last day of the last weekend of the last month of the year I decided to pull out Bruce Aidells' reference The Great Meat Cookbook and found a winner. I set aside some pork from a butt I did recently along with the fat cap in anticipation of something like this.

Mise en place



I rendered the fat, removed the bits and



...added onion, garlic, chipotle pepper, salt, and black pepper



...then the cubed pork butt until the liquid evaporated and the cubes were GBD (golden brown and delicious)



...then the tomatoes for 10 min or so



...then the 1800 Silver Tequila until evaporated (wish I had some Resposito)



...and finally the Yuengling until evaporated (wish I had Modelo or Dos Equis)





I served mine simply with cheese, a spoon of guacamole, and Albert's Hot Sauce.



These were LOADED with flavor! Of course, we had some standing rib roast left from Christmas dinner so SWMBO made some beef quesadillas to join the party. Come on Cowboys!

Those look great Dwain!

And sorry to you and Tony for my Eagles win. Was a great game and kept my intensity level up right until the end!!

Thanks for the condolences Derek. I guess that's it for us this year. Come on Daytona!

No worries Dwain. Looking forward to my Eagles vs Saints next week.

And you are so right! Daytona!! I can't wait either! Let's go Harvick in the new #4!!! I'm sure I just started a new rivalry with that comment too!! Not sure I am going to be a fan of Austin driving the #3, though it will be very cool to see it running again. Just will never be the same, even if others have driven it in the past......
 
We like a lot of drivers actually but have a few favorites. Harvick, Kenseth, Jr, Edwards, Truex, and about anyone except Gordon, Johnson, or either of the Bush brothers. LOL We go to Talladega and Atlanta each year.
