This is a great cook, Alan! After seeing your cook thread, I need to ask. Was any of this cooked outside? It looks like it may have been cooked on the stove? According to TD rules -

5. Entries must be Grilled or Smoked during the cooking process, or must prominently feature Grilled or Smoked ingredients which you prepared. Photos of your food on the grill or smoker are encouraged but not required (we love action shots).

If this was prepared indoors, you still have time to make another dish!

All inside, sir. I did not read TD Rule #5, and accordingly must therefore withdraw this entry. My apologies.

(In Dr. Smith voice from Lost In Space): oh the shame, the shame of it all!!!!
 
No worries! There's still a few days left, hopefully you can get something in before Monday :thumb:
 
Beef tenderloin quesadilla *** throwdown entry

On the blackstone griddle.

You know that little end on the tenderloin?

I like to cut it off for a future meal.

I seasoned the two chunks of beef with carne crosta and diced up some onion and garden fresh japeleno





Plated. Entry pic

 
Decided to try my hand at making conchinita pibil again as it has been a very long time and I've only made it in an oven before.

I started by gathering some ingredients.

Mixed up a marinade consisting of lime, orange, and grapefruit juice along with achiote paste, garlic, vinegar, and some habanero. I also tossed in a dried pasilla and a couple of ancho chiles because they've been in the pantry a long time and, hey, why not?

Let it and the 4.5 lb. pork butt get good and acquainted overnight, then wrapped it all up in some banana leaves.

After a few hours around 325 is was reading 190 and was nearly done...

... but wasn't quite there yet.

Tossed some corn on the gasser as dinner time grew near.

By the time it finished the pork was just about right.

Brushed the corn with some butter and then an ancho chili mayo...

Then plated it all up with some pickled red onions and grated cotija cheese.

Turned out pretty good. There were a few changes I would likely make next time, but all in all, a nice Sunday afternoon.
