Tortilla and Sauce

Short Rib and Toppings

Method

Prepare the Short Ribs

  1. 1

    Braised Short Ribs

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with salt and pepper. Sear the ribs on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the ribs and set aside.

  2. 2

    Add Broth

    In the same pot, add the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Return the short ribs to the pot, cover, and reduce heat to low. Braise for about 2-3 hours or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.

Make the Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sauce Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine the tomatoes, garlic, onion, and dried guajillo peppers. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.

  2. 4

    Blend the Sauce

    Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and blend until smooth. Season with cumin, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Prepare the Tortillas

  1. 5

    Fry the Tortillas

    Cut the corn tortillas into quarters. In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Fry the tortilla pieces until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 6

    Combine Components

    In a large serving dish, layer the crispy tortilla pieces and pour the red sauce over them. Shred the braised short ribs and sprinkle them on top.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top with cotija cheese, pico de gallo, and your choice of fried or poached eggs. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
