Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion halved and then sliced into strips
- 1 bell pepper sliced into strips
- 6 flour tortillas uncooked
- 2 cups cotija cheese
- 6-12 blistered shishito peppers
Tequila Lime Pork Rib Meat
- 3 lbs country pork ribs boneless
- 1 cup tequila
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- ½ tbsp cumin
- 2 tsp habanero peppers sliced
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Add the pork ribs, tequila, lime juice, cloves, chili powder, cumin, habanero peppers, salt, and chicken stock to a crockpot or pressure cooker.
- Cook on high in a pressure cooker for 80-90 minutes or 5-7 hours on low in a slow cooker. When cooked it should shred easily with two forks.
- In a large pan, heat olive oil until shimmery.
- Add peppers and onions and cook until browned, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, about 15 minutes.
- In a separate pan, add uncooked tortillas on low one at a time and heat until slightly blistered and puffy, about 5 minutes per side. (If using cooked tortillas, just heat them a minute per side in a dry pan).
- When peppers and onions are caramelized, add a little to each tortilla, along with some of the tequila habanero pork rib meat, and 1-2 shishito peppers.
- Top with cotija, serve immediately!
