I googled Mexican Independence Day just to make sure I wasn’t mixing up the 15th and 16th. This result isn’t labeled as the AI summary on google, but boy does it seem like it is.

Wow. I haven’t posted in 2 months here. Well, good news: I spent two weeks in México recently for vacation. I was able to visit my ancestral homeland and see my fellow Téenek in San Luis Potosí. It was amazing. 🇲🇽

At the National Building Museum, my family and I saw the Step Afrika! dance company claim the Guinness World Record for largest step dance. It was lit. 🔥

Un taquito de chicharrón con carne. Gotta enjoy even the smallest slices of joy these days. 🌮

Me: “What a shame we’re gonna have to cut back on avocados.”
My 🇲🇽 toddler who is actively refusing most fruits and all vegetables: “I want avocado toast.”

Fellow Latinos, what do you call these in Spanish?

Sometimes you’re at a small Latin American-serving grocery store and inspiration strikes: fajita and onion taco with a big dollop of guacamole. 🌮🇲🇽

So now I have 10 pounds of smoked pork butt to work through. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Cowboys game basically…

More people in this country would benefit from eating a taco… Side note: all of this came from prepackaged goods that are probably available at your local major grocer. 🌮🌮🌮

Really missing my smoker right now… 🥲 Pictured: smoked brisket, smoked pulled pork and smoked ribeye roast tacos.

I see the Rocky Mountain contingent has found me. Let me just say: shoutout Butcher Block Cafe and it’s odd and ugly but delicious chiles rellenos plate. I say it’s odd because it’s more like an egg roll with pepper strips inside. Worth the heartburn if you’re ever in Denver.

My first skeet/“post” in seven months.

Howdy, Bluesky. I cook a lot of meat and tend to make tacos with it! (From left: Smoked pork taco topped with caramelized red onion and pineapple, classic Texas brisket, ribeye tacos with salsa verde and just a plain old, juicy medium ribeye.)
