Honey Chipotle Pork Rib Tacos
Boneless pork ribs are slow cooked in a honey chipotle BBQ sauce then shredded for the best taco filling. Top with serrano ranch slaw, cilantro, queso fresco, and pickled jalapenos.
Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs Country Style boneless pork ribs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 18 oz Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Chipotle BBQ Sauce
For the Serrano Ranch Slaw:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (white wine or red wine)
- 1 (1 oz) dry ranch dressing packet
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2-3 serrano peppers, seeded and finely diced
- 14 oz coleslaw mix
Additional Ingredients:
- Flour or corn tortillas, warmed
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Pickled jalapenos
- Queso fresco, crumbled
- Extra BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Place ribs in a slow cooker, add water, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with half of the bottle of BBQ sauce. Toss with a fork or tongs to coat. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or until "fall apart" tender.
- Once ribs are tender, shred with a fork in the slow cooker. Remove any large fatty pieces. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- To make slaw, add mayonnaise, lime juice, vinegar, ranch seasoning, and garlic salt to a medium-sized bowl. Whisk to combine well. Add serrano peppers and slaw mix then toss to coat.
- To assemble tacos, place rib meat and slaw inside a warm tortilla. Garnish with pickled jalapenos, cilantro, queso fresco, and extra BBQ sauce.
Notes
- Bone-in pork ribs may also be used. Just make sure you have 3-4 lbs of meat compensating for extra weight of the bones.
- These could be cooked on high for 3 hours but I recommend the low setting on a slow cooker.
