Mexican Barbecue Country Style Ribs image

This is a recipe i made up 2 weeks ago. It is medium spicy and my family loved it. We love ribs and sauerkraut so I served sauerkraut on the side. I only use Franks sauerkraut, it has just the right taste. You may not think that the ingredients don't sound good but all the flavors will come together.

Tips:

To achieve tender and flavorful ribs, marinate them for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and ensures a juicy and delicious result.
Use a flavorful marinade that complements the ribs. The recipe provided in the article combines Mexican spices, herbs, and citrus juices to create a tangy and aromatic marinade.
Cook the ribs slowly and at a low temperature. This helps render the fat and connective tissues, resulting in fall-off-the-bone tenderness. Aim for a cooking temperature of around 225-250°F (107-121°C) and cook the ribs for 2-3 hours or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Baste the ribs during cooking to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out. Use the remaining marinade or a mixture of barbecue sauce, honey, and spices for basting.
Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender bite.

Conclusion:

Mexican country ribs are an explosion of flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds. By following the tips and techniques outlined in this article, you can create tender, juicy, and flavorful ribs that will be the star of your next barbecue or family gathering. The combination of Mexican spices, herbs, and citrus in the marinade imparts a unique and delicious flavor to the ribs, while the slow cooking process ensures fall-off-the-bone tenderness. So, fire up your grill or smoker, gather your ingredients, and get ready to indulge in a culinary journey that will leave you craving for more.
