• oregano
• salt
• black pepper
• chipotle chili pepper
• vegetable oil
• garlic
• onion
• tomato
• water
• oregano
• white sugar
• salt
• mexican bolillo roll
• jalapeno pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat an oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
2. 2 Mix the 16 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of minced oregano, 2 teaspoons of salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub garlic mixture over the pork butt, and place pork in a shallow roasting pan.
3. 3 Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue roasting until pork is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 2 hours and 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Cover the meat with two layers of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 20 minutes before rough chopping or shredding it. Reserve pan drippings.
4. 4 Place the chipotle peppers in a bowl, and cover with hot water. Allow peppers to soak until softened, about 3 minutes; drain. Set aside. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in 8 cloves of minced garlic and the chopped onions; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Roma tomatoes, 1 cup of water, chipotle chili peppers, 5 teaspoons of oregano, sugar, and salt to taste. Add the reserved pan drippings. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. 5 Pour the chipotle sauce into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the sauce moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the sauce right in the skillet. Strain the sauce through a sieve.
6. 6 To serve: Hollow out the bottom half of each bolillo to make a shallow bowl for the chopped pork. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the chipotle sauce over the bottom of each roll, then arrange the chopped pork over the sauce. Top each sandwich with a couple slices of pickled jalapeno, followed by the top half of the roll. Pour about 1/4 cup of additional chipotle sauce over the entire sandwich.

Ingredients

• ✓ pork butt
• toothpick
• hickory wood chunk
• lump charcoal
• hog casing
• cayenne pepper
• red pepper
• black pepper
• white pepper
• marjoram
• liquid smoke
• white sugar
• salt
• cider vinegar
• powdered milk
• paprika
• red wine
• garlic
• olive oil
• pork backfat

Instructions

1. 1 Rinse fatback thoroughly and soak in warm water for 30 minutes. Remove and chop into small pieces.
2. 2 Pour olive oil in a small pan and saute garlic for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Do not let it brown. Remove from pan and put into a large bowl. Add fatback, pork butt, wine, paprika, milk, vinegar, salt, sugar, liquid smoke, marjoram, white pepper, black pepper, and red pepper and mix until everything is well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
3. 3 Test the sausage flavor by frying a small bit of it in a pan and tasting it. Adjust spices if needed and place back in the refrigerator, covered, for 2 more hours.
4. 4 Run water through hog casings and rinse out as well as possible. Soak in warm water for 30 minutes.
5. 5 Set up sausage stuffing attachment on KitchenAid®. Squeeze out water from a length of casing. Tie one end in a knot, then roll onto sausage making fitting like a condom. Turn KitchenAid® onto medium speed. Feed cold sausage mixture a little at a time into the funnel. Use one hand to keep casing tight and one to feed meat mixture. Twist off links as you get to desired length. Repeat with remaining hog casings and sausage mixture.
6. 6 Add several handfuls of hot coal into a smoker to get a base temperature going, then let the temperature die down to about 140 degrees F 60 degrees C). You need a cold smoke to smoke the sausages so it doesn't cook and the skin doesn't get browned.
7. 7 When smoker has the right temperature, add hickory wood chunks. The temperature will spike again, so let it cool back down to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
8. 8 Using toothpicks, hang sausages in the smoker as far away from the direct heat source as possible. Maintain temperature at 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) as best as possible. It's difficult - don't sweat it if you get spikes. Just open the smoker door and let heat escape accordingly.
9. 9 Smoke until links are deep red and skin is starting to firm, about 1 1/2 hours.
10. 10 Remove from smoker and let rest for 30 minutes. Cook like any other sausage before, either pan-fry or grill, before serving.

• pineapple juice
• onion
• white vinegar
• orange
• lime
• garlic
• chipotle pepper
• adobo sauce
• sazon seasoning
• achiote
• chili powder
• salt
• cumin
• black pepper
• vegetable oil
• pineapple
• flour tortilla
• red onion
• pico de gallo salsa
• avocado
• cilantro

Instructions

1. 1 Place pork into a large lidded container.
2. 2 Blend pineapple juice, onion, vinegar, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, sazón, chili powder, salt, cumin, and black pepper in a blender until smooth. Pour over pork and toss until all meat is covered. Seal the container and marinate for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
3. 3 Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot), select the Sauté function, and add vegetable oil. When hot, add marinated pork and brown on all sides, working in batches if necessary, about 5 minutes per batch. Reserve any extra marinade in the lidded container.
4. 4 Turn off the Sauté function. Pour in reserved marinade, then close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
5. 5 Release the pressure using the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Release the remaining pressure with the quick release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
6. 6 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
7. 7 Transfer pork to the prepared baking sheet. Keep any sauce in the Instant Pot. Use forks to coarsely shred the pork, removing and discarding any excess fatty chunks. Spread meat out evenly onto the baking sheet. Add pineapple chunks.
8. 8 Broil in the preheated oven until the tips of the meat and pineapples are beginning to get a little brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.
9. 9 Drizzle the reserved sauce from the Instant Pot over pork to moisten it and add more flavor. Arrange pork and pineapple chunks on tortillas. Add onion, pico de gallo, avocado, and cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges.
