Crave worthy Tequila Habanero Country Rib Pork Tacos

I love country rib tacos - they are one of the best ways to eat country/short ribs, ever.

Country ribs (and short ribs) are rich and full of flavor - and are super easy to make. After a quick browning, you can chuck them in a dutch oven or slow cooker and come back in a few hours to a delicious, decadent meal.

But toss them in tacos with some onions, a few types of peppers, and cotija cheese?

Then you have something magical!

I can't under-sell these tacos, because they are that good.

How to make Tequila Habanero Country Rib Pork Tacos

First you will want to assemble the following ingredients:

2 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, halved and then sliced into strips
1 bell pepper, sliced into strips
6 flour tortillas, uncooked
2 cups cotija cheese
6-12 blistered shishito peppers

TEQUILA LIME PORK RIB MEAT

3 lbs country pork ribs, boneless
1 cup tequila
¼ cup lime juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoon chili powder
½ tablespoon cumin
2 teaspoon habanero peppers, sliced
2 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoon sea salt

And really- these are so easy to make!

It's perfect for parties too- you can set out all of your ingredients and let guests make their own tacos in a little impromptu taco bar!

Adding shishito peppers is a fabulous accompaniment to the tacos - it gives a little bit of a bright and citrus-y kick!

In some of the pictures here, I had the stems still on the peppers- but obviously, you need to take them out when you go to eat them.
