Equipment

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
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • ½ tbsp cumin
  • 2 tsp habanero peppers sliced
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Add the pork ribs, tequila, lime juice, cloves, chili powder, cumin, habanero peppers, salt, and chicken stock to a crockpot or pressure cooker.
  • 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.
  • In a large pan, heat olive oil until shimmery.
  • Add peppers and onions and cook until browned, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, about 15 minutes.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • Top with cotija, serve immediately!
