Labor Day Mexican pulled pork sauce ideas?

[qposner]

My wife and I are having friends and family over on Monday for a Labor Day bbq. I’ve been wanting to make the meat church Mexican style pulled pork so that what I’m doing, but with grande gringo as it isn’t full of salt. I was planning on offering an avocado lime slaw and maybe a chipotle aioli alongside, but started thinking about a Mexican bbq sauce of some sort. Of course, I don’t know of any such thing. Any suggestions for that? Planning on offering as tacos and tortas. Thanks!

Maybe check out some Mole recipes? That might be more than you want to deal with though as I think they're a bit complicated.

Cochinita Pibil

This, or a pasilla pepper based sauce. I wouldn’t really consider them anything close to a “barbecue sauce” though, but you could probably incorporate the guajillo and ancho peppers in cochinita pibil or pasilla into a more tomato/vinegar prominent American barbecue sauce to merge the flavors.

I’ll also just throw it out there that these flavors could be completely “foreign” to a lot of people and may not be enjoyable.

+1 on a Mole if you want to go authentic. But authentic went out the window with smoking. A traditional Mexican pork Mole is braised.

Adovada red sauce, is delicious.

This is good. Not as much fun as experimenting and MSU, but it is good

It's not a sauce but, recently used some Kinder Mexican style rubs/seasonings and just added to pulled pork after pulled and they were both very good. Chili Verde, Carnitas and Carna Asada
