Grilling, Smoking and Barbecuing Recipes
New Mexican Back Ribs
These ribs give new meaning to "hot off the grill." The dry rub of seasonings give these ribs a savory and slightly incendiary mix of flavor.
Prep: 5 min | Cook: 2 hours | Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 pounds pork back ribs
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
