Preparation
-
1.In a bowl, combine the minced chipotle peppers, minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, brown sugar, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
-
2.Place the pork ribs in a large ziplock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
-
3.Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
-
4.Remove the ribs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
-
5.Grill the ribs for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade, until they are cooked through and nicely charred.
-
6.Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
7.Serve the Asado Mazatleco with warm tortillas and enjoy!
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chipotle peppers — If you prefer a milder heat, you can reduce the number of chipotle peppers used in the marinade. Alternatively, you can substitute with 1-2 teaspoons of chipotle powder for a smoky flavor without the heat.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra tenderness, you can marinate the ribs overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Basting the ribs with the marinade while grilling helps to enhance the flavor and keep the meat moist.
- Serve the Asado Mazatleco with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for added freshness.
Serving advice
