Instructions
Ingredients
- 1 deer leg
- 1 deer head (optional but that’s the original way)
- 2 red onions
- Sea salt to taste
- 1 garlic head
- Oregano leaves
- Limes
- Cilantro
- Corn tortillas
- Salsa verde or salsa taquera
Instructions
- Use a big steamer pot where you can fit all the meat you want to cook. This is a great way to combine tough parts like the neck and mixed it up with some of the fat.
- Fill the steamer with water and fit the steaming divider tray.
- Place the meat, whole onion, garlic head, some oregano and about a handful of sea salt into the pot.
- Set burner to the lowest heat setting and simmer for 12 hours.
- Shred the meat. It should fall off the bones very easily and be very tender.
- Mix the cooked meats and fats.
- Finely chop one onion and cilantro.
- Heat corn tortillas.
- Assemble tacos using tortilla, barbacoa, cilantro, onion, salsa, lime juice and salt.
