Techniques
  • 2 lb short ribs
  • 1½ lb nopalitos
  • ½ whole onion
  • salt
  • water
In a small saucepan put the cleaned, chopped nopalitos with half an onion and salt, cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce to medium and cook until they change color, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water and set aside.
  • salt
  • black pepper
Season the individually cut short ribs on both sides with salt and black pepper.
  • 3 whole roasted tomatoes
  • 4 whole roasted tomatillos
  • onion
  • 4 whole chiles serranos
  • 4 whole jalapenos
  • cilantro
  • 4 cloves garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp chicken bouillon
  • ¼ cup water
Blend the roasted tomatoes, roasted tomatillos, a piece of onion, four serranos and four jalapenos, a handful of cilantro, four garlic cloves and the chicken bouillon with 1/4 cup water until smooth.
  • oil
Cover the bottom of the pan with oil and heat over medium-high; cook the ribs two minutes per side in batches and remove.
Remove some of the oil and fry the nopales a couple of minutes.
  • water
Add the salsa, rinsing the blender cup with a little more water, mix and bring to a simmer; taste and adjust the salt.
Return the ribs, mix with the salsa, cover, reduce to medium-low and cook 10 minutes.
