Can I ask a clarification question?

Does a Blackstone Griddle Grill count as grilling per the rules (I read the rules, it says smoked or grilled)

I've see the Blackstone referred to as a grill, a griddle, and of course, both:

I actually considered the photo on the Tres Hombres album for the pic in this throwdown, but decided against it due to copyright infringement.

Nonetheless, a very appetizing photo!

This is an entry...

This was created for a special category at a recent BBQ competition. The category was sponsored by Cabo Wabo Tequila and had to include Cabo in the dish.

CaboRita Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Cilantro Chimichurri and Avocado-Lime Crema

I cooked this in one of our Hunsaker drums, but didn't get any in progress pictures. The tenderloin was marinated for a couple of hours in lime juice, cilantro, a little maple syrup and Cabo tequila.

The chimi was cilantro, flat-leaf parsley, garlic, a little agave nectar and olive oil, with chopped roasted red peppers added at the end and the cream was avocado, cilantro and lime juice.

WOW! That is EXACTLY what I have been planning to do!

Great minds think alike?

Had not considered the copyright angle.

This is My Entry in the All Month Long Cinco de Mayo Feast

This was our belated Cinco de Mayo feast. Started out with some margaritas:

5%2019%202018%20Tacos%20amp%20Quesadilla%20%202_zpshfewsgfa.jpg

The Missus whipped up some homemade pico and guac:

Salvadoran chorizo:

Time to fire roast the poblanos:

5%2019%202018%20Tacos%20amp%20Quesadilla%20%207_zpslfdknr98.jpg

Decided to use a flame assist:

Nice and blackened:

When the chiles were done, they went into a paper bag so they could get happy:

Time to grill some carne asada and onions that I had marinating all day:

When the meat was done cooking, I began quesadilla construction:

5%2019%202018%20Tacos%20amp%20Quesadilla%20%2016_zpskezmjrtx.jpg

Added a tortilla on top and cooked the quesadilla on the grill so it could get crispy and melty.

And finally everything all plated up - one carne asada taco, one chorizo taco, some quesadilla slices, salsa roja, and some guac:

Everything was delish! I used to make the poblano quesadillas quite often, and will be doing them regularly again. :nod:
