Method

Prepare Mesquite Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with mesquite seasoning, olive oil, and lime juice. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.

    Rub the pork shoulder with salt, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place in a slow cooker.

    Cook Carnitas

    Pour orange juice over the pork shoulder. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until tender. Shred the meat with two forks.

Prepare Brisket

  1. 5

    Season Brisket

    Rub the brisket with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Place in a slow cooker.

  2. 6

    Cook Brisket

    Add beef broth to the brisket. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until tender. Slice against the grain.

    Warm Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas on a grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
