Time 7h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 dried ancho chiles*, stemmed, seeded, and ribs discarded

3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth

Tips:

  • Choosing the right cut of meat is essential for tender, flavorful tacos. Country-style ribs are a great option because they have a good amount of marbling, which helps to keep them moist during cooking.
  • Slow cooking the ribs allows the meat to break down and become fall-off-the-bone tender. You can use a slow cooker or a Dutch oven to cook the ribs.
  • Adding a flavorful spice rub to the ribs before cooking helps to enhance their flavor. The spice rub in this recipe includes chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Be sure to cook the ribs in a flavorful liquid. The liquid in this recipe includes chicken broth, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes with green chilies.
  • Once the ribs are cooked, shred them with two forks. This will make them easier to eat in tacos.
  • Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.

Conclusion:

These Spicy Slow-Cooked Country Rib Tacos are a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend party. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and flavorful, and the tacos are loaded with your favorite toppings. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give these tacos a try.
