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 tbsp 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
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1/2 tbsp cumin
• 2 tsp habanero peppers, sliced
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 2 tsp 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.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp 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
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1/2 tbsp cumin
• 2 tsp habanero peppers, sliced
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1. Add the pork ribs, tequila, lime juice, cloves, chili powder, cumin, habanero peppers, salt, and chicken stock to a crockpot or pressure cooker.
2. Cook on high in a pressure cooker for 80-90 minutes or 5-7 hours on low in a slow cooker. When cooked it should shred easily with two forks.
3. In a large pan, heat olive oil until shimmery.
4. Add peppers and onions and cook until browned, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, about 15 minutes.
5. In a separate pan, add uncooked tortillas on low one at a time and heat until slightly blistered and puffy, about 5 minutes per side. (If using cooked tortillas, just heat them a minute per side in a dry pan).
6. When peppers and onions are caramelized, add a little to each tortilla, along with some of the tequila habanero pork rib meat, and 1-2 shishito peppers.
7. Top with cotija, serve immediately!
