now THAT`S a fish taco!!! i did Tilapia last night and they were ok but these look delicious. 
 
I have been getting this marinated, really thin sliced steak from the Mexican market. I'm gonna grill some of that, cut it up with scissors, Toss it in the dutch oven with water and some more seasoning, and taco till I floppo.

Probably have to make ground beef tacos too, cause my kids are buttheads, and they won't try a steak burrito. I shod just starve them out and only make stuff they don't want in till the eat it. But the wife is picky too, and I dont think I can starve her out.

Didn't get many pics, invited a few friends and their kids over, it was a little hectic.

Webber #3 Dutch oven lid, ground beef

I started the steaks indirect on the char-griller, then transfered to sear on weber #1. Then to the dutch oven bottom on weber #2, with a can of hotels(lol rotels) and some Williams taco seasoning.

Big green onions, cilantro, lime, and refried beans. Mrs. Renfros habanero salsa to spice it up. I had never bought cotija until yesterday. Its pretty mild, but I liked it.

We put my buddy's new boat out on the lake after we ate. Kids liked it.

Hope you guys had a great Cinco de Mayo. .
 
I'm finally cooking my Cinco meal. My favorite gardening/pepper growing uncle passed away 2AM on the 4th and It's been a hectic week.
 
RIP Uncle Ray...

I tried to go all authentic but didn't have the right peppers in the house but these should work.

Stay tuned!
 
SHEET, I had a blow out. I used pork steaked pounded thin and they started falling apart as the fat cooked then the whole thing went to hell. Time to fire up the gasser to finish these off.

You adapted.
 
Improvised.
 
Overcame.
 
Added pineapple. 
 
Crayons never tasted so good!

Not USMC but close, I had to get all John Wayne on it.

Mike knows when the Seabees arrive life is gonna get better.
 
All that Oorah talk made me go check on my old jewelry, maybe one day I'll make a "Hero wall" and display all my memories to tells lies when people ask. I'll have to research and get all these right, I'm noticing some need more stars.
