The Barbacoa!

I had a taste-test this morning, and it is pretty darn good! My only gripe would be that the sauce is a little thin, but I think it’ll thicken up on reheating. So, it’s in the fridge now, ready to be heated up and assembled into delicious burritos when we get home. I’ll snap a photo of the final product to add to my crafty post this evening! :)

Edit - I’d like to add that I did get up at 1am (as I mentioned I was going to do in my last post) to check on the progress of the barbacoa, and it was not nearly done. Maybe the “Low” on my Crock Pot is a little too low. I just left it on low until I got up at 6am and it was perfectly done at that time. So it cooked for about 10 hours total. Perhaps putting my pot on “Medium” would’ve cut it to 5 hours. This worked out fine though. Now I know I can start it, go to bed, and wake up to the lovely smell of roasting spices and not crusty burnt meat.

    Please do update this when you’ve had it tonight (or whenever). I’m always on the lookout for better versions of that recipe!

    yummy!!!! That sounds soooooo good! Have you ever tried Trader Joe’s marinated meats? I think they Carna Asada and possibly Barbacoa….
