Make your best taco.

And it doesn't have to be mexican.
 
I put ever dang 'thang on a flour or corn tortilla.
 
Thats a taco.
 
Make a bigger taco.

Ever had a brisket and egg breakfast taco?
 
How about a sun dried tomato, goat cheese, roasted garlic, pequin, and refried bean taco?
 
The rules are this.
 
Keep it flour or corn.
 
Home made or store bought.
 
If you post a pita taco I will like you but then unlike you.
 
And then probably still like you again if it looks really good.

Final layer; Homemade Salsa, Avocado, chopped red Onion, and sour Cream, and a fresh red Serrano sliced into thick rings 
 
  So I've been clearing out the fridge trying to use up my last stash of fresh peppers of the season and had some friends coming over so I whipped up a taco bar with what I'm calling my 10 pepper chicken.  
 
  I started making a sauce by cooking down:
 
Aji White Fantasy
White Ghost
Yellow Trinidad Scorpion 
Trinidad Perfume
Bahamian Goat
Szegedi 179
Carolina Reaper
Aleppo
Pasilla Bajio
Datil
 
 With vinegar spices and a beer.  Going heavy on the seasoning peppers but enough super hots to give it a kick.  After blending and straining I set it aside for later.
 
Then I cooked some chorizo and rice and stuffed a chicken with it and baked the chicken for about an hour.  After scooping out the stuffing I quarter the chicken sauced it up and threw it on the grill, basting a few times with the sauce.  I also grilled and skinned poblanos and ripe red jalapenos.  I shredded the chicken and mixed it with the stuffing and served it along side the grilled peppers, cilantro, sunflower microgreens, avocado, the rest of the sauce and some reaper slices just in case someone wanted take it up a notch.  Most everything was sourced from local producers, including myself.  Served on corn tortillas, they were a big hit

I only used one t-scorp in the sauce.
 
It lit me up like a pinball machine on 220v.
 
The sauce was so good.
 
I ate most of it with a spoon right out of the pan.
 
Before I even made the tacos.
 
Because.
 
Got dang!!!
 
 
On another note.
 
Sweet thai chile cream sauce.
 
I've been making it for years.
 
It goes with ever 'thang.
 
Add some cumin to it.
 
And put it on grilled lamb chops.
 
Pork chops.
 
Fish.
 
Shrimp.
 
Any dang thang.
 
You will see Jesus.
 
 
Make it your own style.
 
Hear me now.
 
'Bleed me later.
 
The Hot Pepper said:
What made the red sauce turn brown?
 
Not really brown.
 
The sauce is more cream based.
 
With the faux pax mae ploy.
 
But I know what you're saying.
 
Combination of cast iron.
 
Butter sauteed scallops.
 
And sweet chile sauce I reckon.
 
Had I done it in stainless.
 
It would have come out cleaner maybe?
 
I dunno'.
 
Looks better that color! Just wondered since that Lava sauce is pretty bright red.
