Smoked Chipotle Pork Tacos Recipe

Recipe By Lake Geneva Country Meats

If you like spicy, smoky foods, this taco recipe is definitely worth trying. Consider this recipe a smokier, spicier twist on the classic carnitas recipe. Instead of slow roasting a pork shoulder in an oven with a blend of garlic, orange juice, and spices, we instead put the pork shoulder on our smoker to add a smoky flavor with crisp outside pieces. After smoking the meat to perfection, we shred the meat and then add a blended salsa that uses chipotle peppers to add even more smoke flavor, in addition to a decent spicy kick Chipotle peppers are smoke dried jalapeo peppers, so while they aren't the most spicy peppers available, they do pack a good kick, particularly when you use the seeds, like we do in this recipe. We like to use canned chipotles in adobo sauce for more flavor, but if you would prefer to use plain chipotle peppers, that is just fine. We think this taco is best when topped in a traditional style with chopped red onion, cilantro, queso fresco, and a squeeze of lime. We think these toppings really bring out the best flavor of the smoked pork. What do you think of this taco? Did you top it differently or make any changes to the recipe?
