Ingredients
For the tacos:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 pounds boneless country-style beef ribs fat trimmed
- 4 ounce can chipotle peppers In adobo sauce
- ½ cup water
- ⅓ cup barbecue sauce
- 3 limes 2 juiced and 1 cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 garlic cloves chopped
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 large white onion finely chopped, divided
For serving:
- 8-12 corn or flour tortillas street taco sized or regular warmed
- Pico de Gallo
- 2 avocados sliced
- sour cream
- chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Brown the ribs:
- An optional step I highly recommend. It can be done directly inside the slow cooker or multicooker if you have that function. If not, brown them in a large skillet by heating heat the oil over medium-high heat. Brown the ribs in batches, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the browned ribs to the slow cooker.
Cook:
- In a blender, blend the chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, water, barbecue sauce, lime juice, vinegar, garlic, cumin, and salt until smooth. Pour the thick sauce over the ribs. Reserve one-quarter of the chopped onion and put the rest in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 10 hours, or until the meat easily separates between two forks.
- In the last couple of hours, use tongs to flip the ribs and distribute the sauce on top of the ribs. When the meat is done, break it up into smaller pieces with two forks.
Assemble the tacos:
- To assemble the tacos, start with a base of meat on each tortilla, top with some of the reserved chopped raw onion, pico de gallo, sliced avocados, sour cream, and cilantro. Serve with grated cheese and lime wedges on the side if you desire.
Notes
- If you can't find chipotle peppers in adobo sauce you can substitute ¾ cup of enchilada sauce.
