Depends-skinless usually, unless I’m looking for a crispy skin application. I’ve used both for bacon and prefer skinless because you get better smoke flavor.
I’ve just finished cleaning my Pitboss ready for the first annual smoke of the year next weekend. Going to make this exactly as you say and I’ve just ordered a bottle of Yellowbird Jalapeño Condiment after your recommendation. To say I’m excited about this recipe is an understatement!
I love it that you are making videos again, great content and happy to see uk bbq. Could you cut down some of the fat to make it less fatty or do u need it/do u need that much fat
Great video, thanks for sharing! Yeah, white onions are definitely more traditional for the taco topping you made, yellow/brown onions can be really strong but the lime juice you added would definitely help with that. You could also soak or rinse the diced onions in water which will help lessens the bite. Some people even do this with white onions if they prefer a milder flavor.
Hard to beat a smoked pork belly, that looked delicious! I haven't thought to make tacos out of a belly (I almost always do burnt ends), but I think I'm going to give this a go. The onion/cilantro/lime is speaking my language!
That looked really good. Nice job! For just straight up smoking like this cook, skinless is fine. But I kinda like skin on and cut it off myself, to make a side of chicharrones to garnish the tacos. Or if a direct heat cook, blister and crisp up the skin side, like doing whole hog. There's no such thing as a bad pork belly!🍻
I've started making these recently and I'm NGL I think I prefer it to brisket. I know it's blasphemy but it's easier to make, harder to mess up, and far cheaper. If I have any leftovers(It's just my wife and I so this is pretty common)I toss it in my next chili just like I do with my brisket. Excellent video. If you like it sweet Chud's Sweetcheeks is amazing on it.
I'd get it skin on, remove the skin, and whilst the belly is on the pit, I'd roast the skin in the oven to make crackling that I'd chop up and add to the taco for extra texture and flavour
throw some fat on a skillet and toast them tortillas up for an even better experience. we like getting some red cabbage, sliced up semi thin and put some fresh squeeze lime juice and salt on them for a pop of color and crunch. makes a fantastic brisket taco with some avocado or gauc!
