PORK VOLCáNES AL PASTOR

Steps:

• Place pork shoulder on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and freeze, uncovered, until almost completely frozen, about 2 hours. Using a very sharp knife, thinly slice pork (shoot for about ⅛" thick). Transfer to a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, bring guajillo and morita chiles and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit 30 minutes to allow chiles to soften.
• Transfer chiles and soaking liquid to a blender. Add garlic, orange juice, lime juice, achiote paste, and salt; purée until smooth. Pour over pork and toss to coat. Cover and let sit at room temperature 2 hours, or chill up to 6 hours.
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Evenly space out tortillas on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted and very crisp (edges will curl and pucker), 35-45 minutes.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over high until smoking. Spread about one-fourth of pork across skillet in a single layer; cook, undisturbed, until browned underneath, about 2 minutes. Turn over and cook, undisturbed, until browned underneath and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and wipe out skillet. Working in 3 batches, repeat process with remaining pork and 3 Tbsp. oil.
• Increase oven temperature to 500°F. Divide pork among tostadas and top with quesillo; bake until cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes. Top with onion and cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

• To make the cocktail: Combine the tequila, 2 cups of the hibiscus syrup, lime juice, and orange liqueur in a large pitcher. (The vampiro can be made up to this point a day ahead and refrigerated.)
• To serve, fill a cocktail shaker half way with ice, add the some of the vampiro and shake until chilled. Strain and serve straight-up in a cocktail glass garnished with lime slices. Alternatively, serve over ice in a rocks glass.

VAMPIRE TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Combine steak and all marinade ingredients in a large plastic storage bag or bowl. Toss to coat. Marinade at least 1 hour or up to 24.
• Remove meat from marinade, discard.
• Heat a grill, grill pan or large saute pan to high heat. Cook to desired doneness. Allow the meat to rest at least 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
• To prepare the sauce, combine mayo, chipotles, lime juice and salt. Stir to combine.
• Heat a saute pan to medium heat.
• Place one corn tortilla in the pan, sprinkle about ¼ cup (25 G) cheddar cheese on top. Cover with a second corn tortilla. Cook just until the cheese is melted, flipping once. The tortillas should be soft and pliable, not crispy.
• To assemble the tacos, top the corn tortillas with a spoonful of guacamole.
• Add few slices of steak, then top with pico de gallo, cotija cheese and some of the sauce. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium glass bowl, combine the cinnamon whiskey and red cinnamon candies. Set aside for 30-60 minutes. Strain the cinnamon candy solids from the whiskey and discard.
• In a small bowl, combine the corn syrup and red gel food coloring and mix well.
• Scoop about ½-1 teaspoon of the red corn syrup onto the edge of a spoon. Carefully work the spoon around the rim of a glass, allowing some of the syrup to drip down the outside of the glass.
• Carefully sprinkle the red sanding sugar over the corn syrup for a sparkling effect.
• Add 1 cup (150 g) of ice to a cocktail shaker. Pour in 3 tbsp of the infused whiskey and the orange juice and shake to combine.
