Ingredients

For serving:

Directions

  1. In a stockpot of water seasoned with 1/4 cup each salt and pepper, boil the short ribs until soft and tender, about 5 hours. Drain and let cool. Shred the short ribs with two forks or your hands.
  2. Place a good portion of shredded beef on a tortilla shell. Top with some sweet chile sauce, diced cilantro and onions.

Cook’s Note

To make sweet chile sauce, mix one-part honey with one-part chile paste, adding a teaspoon of minced garlic to every 1/4 cup of sauce.
