Total Time: 5 Hours

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs boneless pork country ribs
  • 1.5 lbs tomatillos
  • 2 poblano peppers
  • 2 cubanelle peppers
  • 2 jalapeños
  • 1 sweet onion
  • 12 cloves of garlic
  • 1 lime
  • 1 large bunch cilantro
  • Salt, pepper, garlic rub
  • Zavalas Fajita Rub
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • Chicken stock

Instructions

  1. Char tomatillos, peppers, onions, and lime on the grill. Cook the lime last so as not to burn it.
  2. Place peppers, onion, tomatillos, garlic, pork, fish sauce and rubs in a Dutch oven. Squeeze in the lime juice and smoke for 3 hours at 250. I used an oak/hickory blend.
  3. At the 3 hour mark, cover the Dutch oven and cook for another hour.
  4. Pull pork out and place on a baking sheet to shred. Add a bunch of cilantro to the broth, cover, and cook for another 20 min. Shred pork and hold.
  5. After 20 min, use an immersion blender (or standing blender) to blend the broth until smooth. Meanwhile place pork under the broiler to crisp.
  6. Serve pork on a corn tortilla with the sauce, cotija cheese, and any toppings you like.
