Your mole is from the future!Rajun Gardener said:I've been wanting tacos since I watched the video I posted and asked TB to find a recipe of those taquitos but he ignored me and I'm fine with that since I'm guessing it's Birria. I watched a few vids, checked some recipes and decided to do my own thing using a few methods from some recipes I liked.
I dug through the freezer and found some leftover mole and pork chunks I need to cook so I went shopping for the other ingredients and the meat is marinating as I type. I'm making regular tacos too for the fam in case they don't like the Birria.
round 1
That date should be 5-12, it must've been late when I put that up.

Awesome !!Rajun Gardener said:I'm finally done and I thought I started early enough to have everything ready at 6E. I had to get the "Tacobell" tacos done first so they could eat while I played some more.
I finished off the toppings, didn't even have time to make the rice or warm up the beans,
I made a pico with roasted Hatch pepper that came out good, pickled onions and all the normal stuff.

I ate tacos and a tostado while on break before I started again.

After a cigarette and a drink I got back to it.
I made some taquitos with the oil from the Birria then started making quesadillas, by the time I was done they ate all my taquitos so I had to make more.

The Birria came out awesome, it tasted so good that I didn't even add the mole I saved. This is soup for a cold day that soothes the soul.

After all that I just pigged out like I'm at a buffet!!

I made the taquitos with the meat from the soup and they go well together, like au jus.

Thanks GIP for the quesadilla tip, they went good with the Birria.

Good to the last drop, I drank the rest of that meat broth.

And this was a long ass day making a taco but the payoff was awesome.
i got the beer fueled munchies and had some leftover hot italian sausage that was grilled earlier today. pan fried some garlic, onion, sweet orange pepper and cowhorn pepper. and sausages were done in my mini cast iron skillet that i use all the time. this is my pan. there are many others like it but this one is mine! heat from the hot italian sausage plus cowhorn and sriracha hit the spot!

Your Carne Knowledge slays me 
I made soup earlier and posted it here then made tacos with it. Freaking Awesome use of leftovers!!
I made tacos with corn tortillas cooked on the gas stove burners, added some of the meat shredded, beans and a little of that gravy
Chopped up some sides for decorations!
That's a hatch pepper for a little heat and flavor.
Walla!!!
Topped with salsa verde and the normal american salsa
Time to eat, Nom Nom Nom!!!
After letting the soup sit while I ate it reminded me of Taco Bell's beans and cheese. Does anyone remember that? It was refried beans and came in a small container loaded with cheese. They might even still have it.
This is so much better than Taco Bell, it's spoon slurping good!!

DAMN, I wanted to try ranch dressing and forgot, along with the cilantro. 
Its hard to understand why birria isnt more popular in the US. Ive got 1 stinking restaurant that offers it ALLLLL the way up near where i used to live. Not a single place in "little Mexico" a few minutes away offers it. No beef, no lamb and certainly no authentic goat. Its a simple dish. Some tortillas, a couple limes, some chopped onions and you are basically all set to go.
Aside from Jamaican restaurants goat is crazy hard to find anywhere around here. I was disappointed we didn't get to one of our favourite restaurants when they had a goat special recently

I made beef fajitas with bell peppers, white onions , sweet onions, jalapeños and homemade arbol salsa. The skirt steak got over cooked because I was busy, but they were still awesome. They had been marinating for around 24 hours, so the meat was super flavorful.

I could eat this kinda stuff every day, sometimes it feels like I do.texas blues said:
And Fredericksburg does rock. Although we are closing on some acreage and a house in Harper (20min away) this next week. We are tired of city living after 4 years of it. Need some space to shoot guns, go mudding and let the dogs and daughter run loose.

Do women shit for a day or two.
They've done that at least 4 times the last two years.
I still don't know what they do there.
Because women.
Fredericksburg.
And shit.
Wine tours mi amigo, thats what the ladies do here. Its a fairly new tourist industry that is booming. When I was a kid people came here for big buck deer hunting and peaches. But those hunters wives created an industry of tourism that has changed everything. Im not saying its a bad thing, but its different than it was. There is still some great food and local beer here though.texas blues said:

Went there to get face lifts.
I was appalled.
I couldn't imagine my mother or sister doing that.
When I saw them 6 months later.
I couldn't tell any difference.
When they go to Fredericksburg?
Antique shopping?
They could be be doing a mob hit.
