Directions
24 Hours Before Cooking
The morning before the class, rub that rack of ribs down with the spice mix. Use the whole packet and get it nice and evenly coated!! Cover and refrigerate until class.
10 minutes before cooking: please remove the ribs from your refrigerator and set aside to temper
Fire up that BBQ! While it heats up, we have a couple prep projects to tackle!
- Chop the cilantro.
- Break up the cotija cheese.
To finish the crema, zest in one lime then squeeze in half of the lime’s juice and add a pinch of S&P Seasoning. Stir in the Tajin spice to taste–but be brave!!!
- Whisk well and adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Slather the ribs in BBQ sauce.
- Shuck the corn
HOW TO COOK 🍳
Once the grill is nice and hot, slap those saucy ribs on the grill and flip every once in a while until nice and tender - we’re going medium/low heat on this, y’all!
- Once the ribs are almost done, start grilling the corn until slightly charred in some places and nice and tender all over.
- Slather the corn with the crema we made and top with chopped cilantro and cotija cheese!
- Once the ribs are done, you’re ready to dive in! Thank you for helping me celebrate!!! Enjoy!!
