SPICY SLOW-COOKED COUNTRY RIB TACOS

Steps:

• For the barbecue sauce: In the bowl of a blender, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, molasses, mustard, garlic, chipotles and sauce and onion. Season generously with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
• For the ribs: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, brown sugar, cayenne, chili powder, 2 tablespoons salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper. Sprinkle the ribs with the rub on all sides.
• In a skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add the ribs and brown on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Transfer to a slow cooker.
• Add the barbecue sauce, Mexican oregano and enough chicken stock to come halfway up the ribs. Set the slow cooker to high and cook, 8 to 10 hours. Remove the ribs and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. (Discard the fat.) Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Whisk to combine (the sauce may separate during cooking) and transfer to a serving bowl.
• Construct tacos by spreading the tortillas with sauce and topping with pork, cucumbers, avocado wedges, cabbage, Cotija, radishes, pico de gallo and cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

SWEET AND SPICY SHORT RIB TACOS

Steps:

• Soak the ancho chiles in boiling water until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain and discard the liquid. Transfer the softened chiles to a blender. Add the onion, garlic, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, beef broth, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Puree until smooth.
• Pat ribs dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Brown the ribs in 3 batches, turning occasionally, about 7 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned ribs to a slow cooker.
• Pour the sauce over the ribs (liquid should reach about halfway up sides of meat),
• cover and cook for 7 hours on high until very tender. Allow the ribs to cool slightly in the sauce.
• Remove the ribs from the sauce. Discard the bones and shred the meat into a large bowl. Skim the fat from the surface and discard. Mix the sauce into the meat and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the meat and sauce into warm corn tortillas and serve with Mexican crema and chopped fresh cilantro.

SPICED LENTIL TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion, garlic and salt until onion begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add lentils and taco seasoning. Cook until spices are fragrant and lentils are dry, about 1 minute. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until lentils are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Mix sour cream, chile and adobo sauce in a bowl. Uncover lentils and cook until mixture thickens, 6 to 8 minutes. Mash with a rubber spatula. Spoon 1/4 cup lentil mixture into each taco shell. Top with 2 heaping teaspoons sour cream mixture, lettuce, tomato and cheese.

SPICY DRY RUB ELK TACOS

Steps:

• In a small bowl add all spices and blend together. Place sirloin cuts on a cutting board and season with dry rub on both sides. If you have time, I recommend letting the meat sit and marinade at room temperature before cooking. I often suggest 30 minutes.
• Put the meat to the side and begin chopping up all of your taco ingredients: onions, bell peppers, tomatos, avocado and anything else you want to add. Cook your taco shells after your taco condimients are ready and set aside in a 250 degree oven to keep warm.
• Be sure before putting the meat on the grille that you get your cast iron grille good and hot. Place meat on grille and cook for 3-4 minutes turning diagonally and cooking for another 3-4 minutes before turning over and cooking on the other side. This will give you great criss-cross grille marks.
• Remove meat immediately and let rest for a few minutes before slicing in 1/4 inch slices across the grain.

SPICY DRY RUB

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir everything together. Rub into shrimp, chicken or pork a few minutes before grilling.

SPICY FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease or line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Rinse tilapia and pat dry. Rub all sides with Cajun seasoning. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Cut into bite-sized chunks.
• Assemble tacos in tortillas with onion, jalapeno, lettuce, and salsa.
