Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Short Ribs

Season the short ribs with salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Sear the short ribs in a hot pot until browned on all sides. Remove from pot and set aside.

2

Sauté Aromatics

In the same pot, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

3

Braised Cooking

Return the short ribs to the pot, add beef broth, cover, and simmer on low heat for about 3 hours or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

4

Pickle Onions

In a separate bowl, combine vinegar, sugar, water, and thinly sliced red onion. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.

5

Shred the Beef

Once the short ribs are tender, remove from pot and shred the meat using two forks.

6

Assemble Tacos

Warm the flour tortillas, fill them with shredded beef, top with pickled onions, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of crema.
