Hurtado Barbecue: Texas Twinkies
Ingredients:
1) 8-10 Large Fresh Jalapenos (the bigger the better)
2) 1 lbs of Chopped Brisket
3) 1 C. Pimento cheese
4) 1/2 C. Sharp Cheddar Cheese
5) Black Pepper
6) Sweet Rub
7) Sweet BBQ Sauce (optional)
8) Bacon (Standard cut works best)
Directions
Maintain a Pit temp of 250*F.
Slice the Jalapeno like a T-shape starting at the top, Core out the veins and seeds with a spoon or spoon’s end. Leaving veins will increase the spiciness. Rinse it out under water.
Place the jalapenos in the smoker for 30 min to loosen them up.
In a bowl, combine #2 chopped brisket, #3 pimento cheese, #4 sharp cheddar cheese.
Stuff the jalapenos with the combined ingredients from step 4.
Wrap each jalapeno with 1-2 pieces of bacon (3 if needed).
Sprinkle with a sweet rub and add a little black pepper on top.
Place on a wire rack and put it in the smoker for 1.5 hours or when bacon is done.
Optional: If you want to add a nice glaze at the end, at the 75 min mark, add BBQ sauce to the top and let it cook for 15 more minutes.
When ready, remove and let cool for 10-15 min.
Watch your friends and family savor every bite.
