My dad is Latino and I grew up eating Mexican food more than anything. I just love Tex-Mex food. My wife is Hispanic as well, and we felt like it was just a natural and fitting blend of two incredible cuisines and cultures. Being in Central Texas, we\u2019ve really tried to focus on paying homage to the folks that have been doing this for years and years, and we fit in some of the recipes that my grandma was cooking at our dinner table when I was a little kid\u2014like charro beans with brisket thrown in, because brisket makes everything better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We still serve a lot of our early sides today. Elote we do fresh off the cob every day, there\u2019s the brisket and charro beans that I grew up eating, and Mexican rice is a staple. Hands down, our Hatch green chile mac and cheese is the most popular side we have.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tell me about that one.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s obviously ooey and gooey. It\u2019s got this great texture from the cavatappi noodles, which I think are the superb mac and cheese noodle. I like how they catch all the cheese sauce, hold really well over time, and don\u2019t get gummy or lose texture. The dish has got this really subtle heat from the roasted hatch chiles that just sends it over the top.&nbsp;<br><br><\/p><div id=\"div-gpt-ad-2119891\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad mobile inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-8614907\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad tablet inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-4300286\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad desktop inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Someone\u2019s coming to Hurtado Barbecue for the first time. What would you recommend they order?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chef platter with a sampling of six different proteins. That has brisket and smoked turkey, which I think is hands down our best protein\u2014even better than our brisket. It\u2019s a sleeper. For sides, it\u2019s the mac and cheese for sure and then a toss-up between the street corn and our tater tot casserole.&nbsp;<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Since you\u2019re self-taught yourself, what advice would you give to someone who is just getting into barbecuing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on the small things. Try and really give every little detail a hundred percent. Little things lead to great things. If you can focus on executing things well on a small scale, then you\u2019re going to do big things better. For us, that\u2019s like, how do we dress things? How do we make sure that if something\u2019s not done yet, like a brisket, we\u2019re not going to try and cut corners to finish that cook time?<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tell me about the breakfast migas, since we&#8217;re talking about brisket.<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"div-gpt-ad-9069946\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad mobile inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-6151439\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad tablet inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1008533\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad desktop inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>The migas are something that I&#8217;ll make at home for my family, spur of the moment on a Saturday morning.

It\u2019s got texture from the tortilla chips, spice from the salsa, and it\u2019s just ooey-gooey crispy. And then you throw brisket in there and you get, like, this whole other level of smokiness and umami.&nbsp;<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What made you want to write a cookbook?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I met the editor of my cookbook in Chicago while I was on a barbecue festival work trip, and he said, \u201cHey, I\u2019ve been creeping on you. I\u2019m looking for someone to write this cookbook.\u201d I finally decided to do it. And I wrote every word. It makes it even more special to me that I can go to my kids someday and say, \u201cYou can do things that are outside of your repertoire.\u201d I cooked every recipe that was photographed there. We did fifty recipes for the photo shoot over five days, and I was largely involved in the photography.&nbsp;<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you hope people take away from it?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope it brings them closer to the people they care about, that they\u2019re able to share a meal with friends and family and maybe try something different, or cook something they have tried and make it better. For people in the barbecue industry, I hope they\u2019re able to take some of these recipes and make them their own. I hope someone can look at Big Red barbacoa or brisket birria tacos and go out and make something of their own and spread the barbecue gospel.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p><div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3163811\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad mobile inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-9593496\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad tablet inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1540085\" class=\"ad-container in-line-ad desktop inContent\" data-ad-size-mapping=\"inContent\" data-ad-path=\"\/68000349\/in-between-modules\" data-ad-sizes=\"[ [336, 280], [300, 250], [300, 50] ]\" data-ad-channel=\"\" data-ad-type=\"In-between Modules\" data-page-terms=\"flagged\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Garden &amp; Gun<em>&nbsp;has an affiliate partnership with&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/t.e2ma.net\/click\/az191cb\/ansmstb\/eugxv5k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>bookshop.org<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;and may receive a portion of sales when a reader clicks to buy a book.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The self-taught pitmaster talks smoking secrets, the best noodle for mac and cheese, and the skyrocket to barbecue stardom <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":219731,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2025-09-30T21:14:06Z","apple_news_api_id":"8ca47632-6182-4fad-b9df-60526d48b778","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2025-09-30T21:14:07Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AjKR2MmGCT62532BSbUi3eA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2399,1780],"tags":[77,470,29711,251,30280],"authors":[29332],"issue":[],"recipe-type":[],"class_list":["post-219730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","category-food-and-drink","tag-barbecue","tag-cookbooks","tag-food-drink","tag-texas","tag-whats-new","authors-lindsey-liles"],"acf":[],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.3 (Yoast SEO v26.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Love Barbecue and Tex-Mex?
