Spicy & Creamy Fish Tacos

1 lb. fresh fish, (Mahi Mahi, tuna, etc.)
2 Tbsp. SLICK’S BIG TIME BBQ sauce in Sweet & Spicy
1 cup green cabbage, washed, sliced
corn tortillas
fresh cilantro, washed and stemmed
1/4 cup SLICK’S BIG TIME BBQ sauce in Sweet & Spicy
1/4 cup Ranch dressing

Wash fish. Brush on SLICK’S BBQ sauce with a basting brush. Place on BBQ grill (or oven) and grill fish until it flakes with a fork. (or desired doneness). Meanwhile, combine SLICK’S BBQ sauce and Ranch dressing in a small bowl. Mix well. Remove skin from fish when slightly cooled, and flake with a fork. Warm tortillas (place in plastic bag or tortilla warmer in microwave for a few seconds), and arrange cabbage, grilled fish, on each tortilla. Drizzle SLICK’S BBQ & Ranch dressing mixture on each taco. Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves on top. Enjoy! Serves 4.

AMAZING Sweet & Tangy Pot Roast & Vegetables

1 – 10 pound beef roast
1/2 to 1 bottle of SLICK’S BIG TIME BBQ Sauce in Sweet & Tangy
1 Tbsp. sea salt
1 Tbsp. black pepper
4-5 large russet potatoes
4-5 carrots
4oz beef broth
olive oil as needed

Season the roast with about half of the salt and pepper. Inject several ounces of SLICK’S BIG TIME BBQ sauce in Sweet & Tangy into the center of the roast, injecting into various sites to achieve full juiciness. Place roast in a shallow baking dish prepared with olive oil rubbed on the bottom of the dish. Peel and cut potatoes and carrots into bite sized chunks. Place in dish with the roast. Sprinkle the potatoes and carrots with the beef broth, then sprinkle with several ounces of SLICK’S BIG TIME BBQ Sauce. Once this is done, season these veggies with salt and pepper. Place in oven at 375 degrees. It is suggested that you brush or mop on more SLICK’S sauce to maintain juiciness of the roast. Check with meat thermometer until it reaches 140 degrees for rare, or 150 degrees for medium rare. You may also cook this on a Traeger BBQ! Enjoy!

Perfect Cocktail for a outdoor BBQ:

Moscow Mule

Vodka is the most popular spirit in the world and the Moscow Mule is responsible for Vodka's speedy rise to fame in the Western World.

The Moscow Mule was invented in 1941, when Gin was the most dominant force. John Martin, a spirits distributor and John Morgan, proprietor of a ginger beer production facility teamed up and the Mule was born in Manhatton.

Fill up a clean highball glass with ice. Next pour 2 shots of Vodka. Squeeze two lime wedges, add about three dashes of Angostura Bitters and top up with Ginger beer. To garnish, place a wedge of lime on the rim of the glass and a sprig of mint leaves for that extra colour. This is light and super refreshing with BBQ. Enjoy.
