Pulpo Ahumado Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Octopus

   In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the octopus and cook for about 40-50 minutes until tender. Remove, let cool, and slice into pieces.

2. 2

   Smoke the Octopus

   Preheat your smoker or grill to a medium heat. Place the sliced octopus on the grill grates and smoke for 15-20 minutes, infusing with flavor.

3. 3

   Cook the Sausage

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Mexican sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

4. 4

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add in diced potatoes and cook until they are tender, about 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the smoked octopus and cooked sausage to the skillet with vegetables. Stir in the chipotle-tomatillo salsa and cook for an additional 5 minutes to blend flavors.

6. 6

   Serve

   Warm the small tortillas. Serve the smoked octopus mixture in tortillas, garnished with additional salsa if desired.
