If you’re ready to take taco night to the next level, you won’t want to miss this video from Heath Riles BBQ. Heath teams up with BBQ champion Bob Trudnak to create an unforgettable dish: pulled beef tacos topped with a fire roasted salsa that bursts with flavor.
What Makes This Recipe Special?
Heath and Bob dive into the art of smoking a tender chuck roast until it’s fall-apart good. They talk technique and flavors, showing how to achieve that perfect smoky taste. Bob’s expertise shines through as he guides Heath through each step, giving you insights that’ll level up your BBQ game.
Ingredients & Techniques
This mouthwatering taco recipe uses a few key ingredients:
- 3½-pound chuck roast
- Heath Riles BBQ SPG Seasoning & Rub
- Bobby T’s 7 Bones Beef Rub
- Fresh veggies for the salsa: tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, garlic
- And tortillas, of course!
First, they coat the chuck roast with cooking oil and season generously. The real magic happens in a Gateway Drum Smoker, set at 300°F, where they hang the roast. The guys rotate it as it cooks for about 1 hour and 15-20 minutes, creating an incredible bark.
While the beef smokes, they whip up a fresh salsa with fire-roasted veggies, adding a layer of freshness to the rich flavors of the beef. This isn’t just any salsa—it’s packed with grilled goodness that complements the tacos perfectly.
Final Touches
To wrap it all up, you’ll get serving suggestions that really bring everything together—a drizzle of cilantro-lime crema, red cabbage for crunch, and pickled red onions for that necessary zing. Seriously, it’s a flavor explosion!
