Pork Belly Tacos
INGREDIENTS
- 1 skinless Pork Belly
- Heath Riles Honey Chipotle Seasoning
- Blues Hog Original BBQ Sauce
- Fresh 4” flour tortillas
- Garnish – Avocado, pickled onions, bell peppers, cheese, cilantro, anything you like
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the grill to 250 F.
- Cut the belly into two sections.
- Score the fat in a diagonal pattern. This will give you more surface area for seasoning and also keep the pork belly from ‘curling” up during the cook as the fat contracts.
- Season all areas of the belly with Heath Riles Honey Chipotle Seasoning (or your seasoning of choice)
- Allow the pork belly to sit for 15 mins or up to overnight for the seasoning to adhere.
- Place the pork belly on the grill and insert probe.
- Continue cooking the pork belly until the internal temperature reaches 195 F. In this video that took about 3.5 hrs.
- Once it reaches 195 F begin applying the Blues Hog Original BBQ Sauce for the last 15 mins of cooking.
- Continue cooking until the belly reaches an internal temperature of 200 F.
- Remove the pork belly from the grill and allow to rest /cool significantly.
- Once cooled, use a sharp serrated knife to cut into slices.
- Serve on a warm flour tortilla topped with pickled onions, avocado, sliced and sautéed bell peppers and cheese of choice. We also added a bit more of the Blues Hog BBQ Sauce over the top. Use whatever toppings you love to make this your own.
Enjoy!
