As many know, I have been dildoing around with tacos for my theme MKT (Military Kitchen Trailer). I have posted more than a few threads here about Tacos but have not really revealed much about the process.
In a sad way some will look at my mutilation of a brisket for a crowd of street taco lovers as sacrilege. I hope, however to make it up with my Taco Juices. When you bite into a taco its other end should spew out its orgasmic expressions on the other side... of course smart and experienced taco Lotharios always suck in as they bite... drawing in her nectar as they chew off a bite.
This pictorial is in two parts. Although I began my process on another thread called "Mexicoid Brisket," the experiments with the magical and sexual taco consomme ends here.
So.... why brisket for a taco? Hmmm... ground round... $5 a pound..... cheap, untrimmed brisket $2, pork butt - about $2. Even with shrinkage - its a deal and customers will pay more for it.
The other requirement is rooted in the purpose for the project itself - make money, keep it simple and low labor, while making your customers think you prepped for more hours than you did. In other words, shortcuts - after all its tacos and not championship BBQ pageantry.
Part one - the Mutilation
Mix the Rub
For every part of my brisket rub - to make it more Mexicoid, I add the proper amounts of Cumin (Chaka Kahn ), Large Grained Salt (George Clinton), and Chili Powder (Carlos Santana?). Here is a shot of before and after.
Trim your Brisket of hard fat and oxidized meat.
Now chop the brisket into three "mass identical" segments and cross cut for maximum flavor penetration and bark - you get more bark this way and it cooks faster.
I do both sides AND slather on a thin application of Sriracha.
Hook it up and smoke for two to three hours.
I dump them in a pan with onions and citrus for a cook in a Turkey Roaster until tender.
BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE!!!!!!! i WILL POST THE cONSOMME
