Short rib tacos.

Had the day off yesterday, and what better way to spend it than to smoke some plate ribs? Cooked at 250 with pecan and cherry, then chopped them up and topped with a lime/cilantro slaw on homemade grain free tortillas. There were no leftovers

    Spectacular. Take a bow  =)

    Blasphemy, I know, but I’ve always found brisket on a stick to be too rich to enjoy alone. I could certainly get behind these tacos though...

    Any details that you can share on the taco shells?

    Wow that's amazing.  At the Tampa Bay Rays' games, they sell a Short Rib Mac and Cheese that is easily the greatest thing I've ever had a sporting event that is legal.  Your tacos look as good!

    I know what you mean. My family prefers the meat off the bone and used for other things, but I have a hard time cutting those beauties up. I’ve used the meat for enchiladas and stroganoff as well. So good. 
    As for the tortillas..last year I was on an elimination diet due to some health concerns and I needed some “normalcy” and wanted tacos so I found this recipe for homemade tortillas that are grain free. All they call for is cassava flour, avocado oil, water and salt. They certainly aren’t as good as regular tortillas, but they are grain free, so I still use them

    Short ribs are tasty any way you prepare them. They look delicious.

    Spectacular!  Care to share the deets on the lime-cilantro slaw?  Also, what size is your tortilla press?  It looks to be a decent sized press and I've been looking for one, albeit unsuccessfully.
    It's "Smokin Gal", not "Smoking Al".

    I’ll have to wait until I get home for the press, but the slaw is chopped green and red cabbage and shredded carrots. For the dressing: 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, green onion, garlic, lime juice, and olive oil blended to salad dressing consistency then mixed in. Adds lots of flavor and moisture to the meat
