Ingredients
Scale
- 1 rack of beef ribs (3–4 bones, membrane removed)
- Barbecue spice mix for beef
- A bit of yellow mustard
- warm refried beans (store-bought)
- cooked white rice (homemade or packaged)
- Flour tortillas, 12 inches wide
- Salsa Verde for drizzling
- 3 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 Serrano chili, roasted
- 4 tomatillos, roasted (cut each in half)
- A handful of cilantro leaves
- 1/3 yellow onion, roasted
- Juice from 2 limes
- 3 cloves of roasted garlic
- A pinch or two of salt
- Chunks of hickory wood for flavor
- One stick of unsalted butter
- Butcher paper for wrapping
- Apple cider vinegar for misting
Instructions
- Remove the silver skin from the beef ribs, if not already done. Rub the meat with mustard and coat heavily with barbecue spices.
- Preheat the smoker to 250°F (120°C) and add hickory wood chunks. Smoke the ribs for 2 hours, spritzing with cider vinegar every 45 minutes.
- After 4.5 hours, check for an internal temperature of about 170°F (77°C). Wrap the ribs in butcher paper with butter and smoke for an additional 2 hours until tender.
- Remove the wrapped ribs and let them rest for 1-2 hours, keeping them warm.
- Char the tomatillos, Serrano chili, onion, and garlic on a grill. After cooling, blend with cilantro, lime juice, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
- Shred the smoked beef ribs into pieces and place them in a bowl.
- Heat a griddle or grill to 350°F (175°C). Cook tortillas for 45-60 seconds on each side until warm.
- On each tortilla, layer warmed beans, white rice, shredded beef, salsa verde, and Monterey Jack cheese. Wrap tightly with the seam side down and toast on each side for 60-90 seconds.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve hot with loved ones.
