Coke-Braised Short Rib Tacos: Food Truck Frenzy!
By Erika on October 17th, 2013 / / No Comments
It seems every home cook has their own way that ribs MUST be cooked– my friend’s husband boils baby back ribs in coke for hours. He does a lot of other stuff but that is what really stuck with me because it is so weird to see these ribs boiling in Coke– I couldn’t help but obsess over his process until they were done. They are very good but I swear he boiled those ribs for something like 6 hours!! This recipe is very different. We ARE using Coke but there will be no boiling here…and we are using short ribs.
