Pork Ribs Adobadas is a succulent Mexican BBQ dish featuring tender, marinated pork ribs infused with a vibrant blend of spices and chilies. This dish brings together rich flavors and a smoky finish, perfect for a hearty meal.

Ingredients

• Pork ribs - 800 grams
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Dried guajillo chilies - 4, seeds removed
• Dried ancho chilies - 2, seeds removed
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Apple cider vinegar - 60 ml
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Water - 250 ml
• Lime - 1, juiced

Steps

1. Soak the guajillo and ancho chilies in hot water for about 15 minutes until softened.
2. In a blender, combine the soaked chilies, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
3. Place the pork ribs in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the ribs are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
4. Preheat your grill or BBQ to a medium heat.
5. Remove the ribs from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade.
6. Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade every 10 minutes.
7. Cook until the ribs are tender and have a nice char, with a meat thermometer reading at least 70°C (160°F).
8. Remove from the grill, let rest for 5 minutes, then squeeze fresh lime juice over the ribs before serving.
