Carnitas Barbecue Sandwich

I’m having quite a busy week. @thinlinesandsuch and I basically run two businesses rolled into one. A restaurant and meal prep company out of the same kitchen. We are slammed this time of year helping everyone keep their New Years Resolutions. Needless to say, my down time is sacred and treasured.

Since our food prep company is closed on Thursdays and Fridays, I’m looking forward to writing one of my typical annecdotal posts tomorrow evening. It’s a good way for my Jewish soul to kvetch and vent some creative energy.

For now, I’m just going to be a terrible Jew, and post a very non-Kosher recipe filled with pork and cheese.

Carnitas Barbecue Sandwich
Makes 8 Sandwiches

Ingredients:
A batch of Carnitas, recipe here: https://steemit.com/food/@jennshaggy/carnitas-grilled-cheese-with-jalapeno-bacon-jam
A batch of Cider Lime Slaw, recipe here: https://steemit.com/food/@jennshaggy/blackened-tilapia-tacos-with-cider-lime-slaw-and-lime-crema
8 Brioche Buns
2-3 TBSP Butter, for toasting Buns
8 Slices Of Sharp Cheddar
Pickle Chips
1 Red Onion, thinly sliced
1 12oz bottle of your favorite BBQ Sauce
Pickled Jalapeños, optional

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix the 12oz bottle of BBQ sauce with the shredded carnitas.

Place the BBQ carnitas in a oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and place in the oven to keep it warm.

Melt about 1-2tsp of Butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, and toast each bun, adding more Butter to the pan as needed.

Make sure all of your other sandwich ingredients are mise en place (fancy term for in place, and ready to go).

Pull the warm bbq carnitas out of the oven, and build your sandwich:

-Carnitas on the bottom bun
-Slice Of Cheese
-Red Onions
-Pickle Chips
-Cider Lime Slaw
-Top Bun

Don’t forget a napkin, or 5...

You’re welcome ;)
