• Heath Riles BBQ Garlic Jalapeño Rub
• Heath Riles BBQ Honey Chipotle Rub
• 1/2 cup of Heath Riles BBQ Tangy Vinegar Sauce
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 bell pepper sliced (I had left overs so used a variety of colors) 
• 2 onions thinly sliced - corn tortillas (or flour if you choose) 
• additional toppings of your choice (we used homemade guacamole, pico de gallo, cilantro, lime wedges, chopped raw onions, taco sauce of choice)

DIRECTIONS:

• Cube pork butt into small pieces
• Cook on Traeger (or grill of your choice) at 300º for 1.2-2 hours
• Add cubed pork to a bed of sliced onions and peppers, add chicken stock and Heath Riles BBQ Tangy Vinegar Sauce.
