Tortillas

Pork Ribs in Tomatillo Sauce

Toppings

Method

Making the Tortillas

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix corn masa harina, salt, and water until a smooth dough forms. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tortillas

    Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Divide the dough into small balls and flatten each ball into a tortilla shape. Cook each tortilla for about 1 minute on each side until lightly browned. Keep warm.

Cooking the Pork Ribs

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tomatillo Sauce

    In a blender, combine tomatillos, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

  2. 4

    Cook the Ribs

    In a large pot, add the pork ribs and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour until tender.

  3. 5

    Combine with Sauce

    Add the tomatillo sauce to the pot with the ribs and simmer for another 30 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Assembling the Dish
