Mexican Pulled Pork
I grew on pulled pork with a sweet flavor profile. Sweet seems to be the go to when folks make it. I’m here to tell you that a savory profile is a great change of pace that I absolutely love. A friend of mine named that helped me get my start in BBQ years ago taught me what he called a “Mexican pork butt.” He took 2nd place at the American Royal in Pork with this recipe. My good buddy Sean Woodson, AKA Three Woodys BBQ, and I got to talking about Phillip’s recipe. Woody went on to tell me about a recipe he was making that was similar but sounded even better to me. It’s close to carnitas, but there are no crispy bits in here. Woody came and helped me with a pop up class in September, 2021. This recipe was a huge hit, so we finally decided to write it up and shoot a How To video on it.

Been doing this since you showed us in September! Absolute favorite recipe to date! 🔥🌮🌮🔥
Made two today for a family trip next week. Best thing I’ve smoked yet, by far. Thanks for the recipe and products!
"Nobody wants to eat sweet ribs anymore." Huh? You sure about that? I can't find anyone who doesn't still like them. There's MORE alternatives and people who enjoy barbecue enjoy trying new things, but tbat doesn't mean they don't like or even prefer the old things.
Gotta do this SOON!
Ur entro makes my mouth water Every Time. Just as when your shopping for groceries, ya shouldn't watch BBQ Videos when ur Hungry ! 😋
"I am not here to make you lose weight I am here to make you enjoy Life" I Love when you say this Meat Church. It's so very True. Love your Channel. Much love and success to you Meat Church.
If you have a good pierna recipe, I could get down with that.
I made a 4 lb er today. The biggest but the grocery store had. Started at 1 pm meat in. Pulled it out at 5:15. About 190 meat temp. I cooked at 275 for 2 hrs then into a casserole dish with the chicken broth and a lid at 325. I was trying to get it done faster. It wasn’t as tender as yours but was so very good. Wow new regular meal good. I make carnitas in the crockpot once in a while. These are just as good without the extra oil.
Great recipe thanks
Fat side down?? That’s not normal right?
How spicy does it end up?
I made this last night. It was amazing. Only issue is that it took 11 hrs. for an 8.6 lbs. butt and it only got to 192°. Did it on my OK Joe’s Bronco at 275. Had to finish in the oven at 300° but couldn’t get it to 205°. Frustrating as hell but still amazing.
This looks so good. I love trying things that are different. I want to smoke up 3 pork butts and want to try three different kinds. This will definitely be one of them. Haven’t found the 3rd yet.
Another thing you can do before you make a taco is fry it in those juices in a skillet. Turns out just like Carnitas.
Making this today!
Tried this 7 months ago and loved it! Just watched this video again because am making it again tomorrow. As always great recipe!
I don’t WHY you don’t have 1,000,000 viewer’s! Incredible creditable. Thank you sooooooo much!💞
My brother and I made this, and it is by far the best pulled pork we've ever had, absolutely amazing!!!!! We also smoked some cream cheese from an appetizer!!!!
What pocket/belt knife is that @Meat Church BBQ
I am doing this tonight, but to me the seasoning taste nothing like fajita.
Made this for Labor Day dinner and it was hit! This will be a regular meal time recipe for the future!
"Mexican Pulled Pork" is known in Mexican restaurants as "Carnitas". and is often finished by frying to crisp the exterior before pulling into shreds.
I’m fixing to pull my out of my foil pan. What’s a long rest for it? A couple hours?
Done this today for a group of BBQing friends and it was a big hit. Thanks for all the good tips and recipes that you have given us.
I’ve made this a couple times and love it. I’m on keto so can’t add sugar or honey to the pan etc so a savory option works great. I just priced your video said salted butter, but the recipe says unsalted. Or did i hear you wrong?
Can someone please give me the recipe and directions so I can save 17 minutes? Comments are awesome about the video…. But damn it’s long
If you want chicken get chicken. Why use chicken flavor for pork.?
