I did a little freezer diving and came up with a Chuck roast and some shrimp that needed to be used, so tacos were decided on.

First I rubbed down the beef with a bit of tatonka dust and McCormick sweet and smoky.

Into the smoker at 225. After 2 hours.

Then it went into a pan with some beef broth, diced onions, a chipotle in adobo, minced garlic, oregano, and a splash of ACV. Then covered with foil and back into the smoker at 275 this time.

It went for another 3 hours or so. While that was cooking I made up some chipotle slaw.

Next up was the corn for elote (Mexican street corn). Cranked the smoker up to 400 and put the corn directly on the grill. Turned a couple times over about 15 minutes until they were taking on some color.

Finally, the shrimp. Put a few on skewers and sprinkled with Old Bay. Cranked the smoker to 500 and threw the “shrimp on the barbie “ for 6 minutes, flipping halfway.

Then the corn got cut off the cob, because the wife won’t eat it on the cob. Mixed with some Mayo, avacado sour cream, crumbled cojita and cilantro. I totally forgot the chili powder.

Beef all shredded up and mixed with a bit of the pan juices.

Finally. Dinner is served. Surf and turf tacos with street corn. Please ignore my fine china and aluminum foil taco holders :heh:

Looks really good. Never really considered aluminum foil, but.......is it high in mineral content, or leave a metallic aftertaste? :-D
