Taco de Costilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture over the short ribs and let them marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Grill the Short Ribs

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated short ribs for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the ribs are resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Slice the grilled short ribs into thin pieces. Place a few slices on each warm tortilla. Top with chopped onions, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Add salsa if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and salsa on the side.
