Here's a taco recipe that we bet you haven't made before-barbacoa beef cheek tacos Barbaco is a traditional way of cooking meat over an open fire in a pit and beef cheeks make delicious tacos. If you've never had beef cheek meat before, it literally is the meat from the cheek of a beef animal. The meat is very flavorful and has plenty of intramuscular marbling to keep the meat fall apart tender. They're wonderful when braised, slow cooked or even smoked. They can be hard to find, but at lake geneva country meats, you can always call us, and we'll be happy to set some aside for you. The directions for this recipe will be done two ways. The first is over a traditional barbacoa pit, which you can learn how to make by reading our how to build a barbacoa pit post. The second is done in a slow cooker, which is a more convenient way of making this dish. Have questions about cheek meat or barbacoa? Leave us a comment below and we'll be happy to answer
