Al Pastor Barbeque Sauce
"This recipe is very spicy, to lower heat replace one each of the chipotle an guajillo for New Mexico or California chili pods. I created this recipe for a camping trip to put on back loin ribs and people kept coming by and asking me what that amazing smell was, and all 8 racks were gone within 10 minutes after coming off the grill. It's great on: pork ribs/loin/chops/burgers, chicken, beef ribs/burgers/steak, and lamb burgers."
