Directions
Pickled Onions:
Mix the water, vinegar, and spices in a large sealable container. Add in the sliced red onion and let sit in fridge overnight.
Pork:
Fire up your Gateway Drum to 300ºF.
Combine the dry Pork Marinade Mix and water. Using a flavor injector, generously inject the pork belly all over with the marinade mixture.
Heavily coat your pork in Sweet & Savory Seasoning.
Smoke at 300ºF for approximately 2 hours. Wrap in foil, cover with a cup of Tennessee Red BBQ Sauce, and return to the Gateway for another 2 hours. The pork should be done when the skin is tough and the meat is tender.
Remove from heat and let rest in foil for another 30 minutes to an hour.
Dice up the pork belly into 1/2 in. chunks.
Sauce up the pork in Tennessee Red for more flavor and moisture.
Nachos:
Load up a plate of tortilla chips with queso, pork, pickled onions, jalapeños, and green onion.
Top it off with a sprinkle of cotija cheese, a generous drizzle of Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce, and enjoy!
