BBQ pulled chicken tacos with creamy slaw and red onion

1 serving prepared

Here's what you get:

Red Onion

Lime

Pulled chicken in BBQ sauce

Cilantro

Mayonnaise

Hot sauce

Coleslaw

Not used:

Flour tortilla

Substitute:

Corn tortilla

The corn tortilla:

The tortillas were placed in a small convection oven on warm while the rest of the items were being cooked so they were warm by the time the meal what's ready to plate.

The coleslaw:

To make the coleslaw the veggie mix was combined with cilantro and onion and then tossed with mayonnaise, hot sauce and juice from half of the lime. Salt and pepper were then added to taste. The bowl was set aside while the meat was being prepared.

The protein:

To finish off the protein a drizzle of oil is heated up in a non-stick pan and the remaining onion was added along with salt and pepper. This was cooked until the onions were soft and browned then the pulled chicken was added. This combination with cooked until the chicken was warmed through and then a drizzle of lime was added. Total cook time was 15 minutes.

The plate:

These tacos are pretty good although the meat was way sweeter than I was expecting. The coleslaw was a good offset for that. Overall it was pretty decent but I don't know if I'll be trying the bbq pulled chicken again.

Cooking by the Book 1: Orc Bacon

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
