Nothing compliments rich, authentic, savory Mexican flavors like an ice-cold brew. A crisp cerveza can cool your palate after a spicy bite, or enhance your meal with even more flavor. At Del Real Foods, we know that nothing makes a beer pairing better than with some great Mexican classics. Here are great recipes using Del Real Foods products that will match perfectly with your brew of choice.
Pulled Pork Chipotle BBQ Sandwich
Pulled pork and beer are staples of barbeques across the world, so next time you’ve got a taste for this delicious combo, change things up a bit by adding Del Real Foods Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas to the mix. Using traditional cooking methods from the Michoacan region of Mexico, this delicious pork combines a unique flavor and texture. Chances are you may have seen carnitas served in tacos or burritos, but it also goes perfectly as the main attraction, like in this sandwich. Consider a more malty beer to match this dish.
Ingredients:
- 15 oz. package Del Real Foods® Carnitas
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. each: ground black pepper and celery seed
