Country Style Ribs Al Pastor
Once we got our recipe for the al pastor marinade (Adobo Marinade) down, the next step was to try it out on just about everything. And it was good on just about everything. What we hadn't done yet was smoke it. So we decided to stick with the traditional pork shoulder and al pastor combo that made tacos al pastor so highly addictive and desirable. This is a super easy recipe that yields some really tasty results and makes you want to go visit Mexico City.
Don't forget to make the marinade first (follow this link to Adobo Marinade). If you can't find country-style ribs, just get a boneless pork shoulder or Boston butt and cut it into strips. While this one can go either way, we prefer flour tortillas with this recipe.
As always, from our table to yours... #SpiceConfidently #EssenceOfFlavor #ChemistryInTheKitchen #CasaMSpice
