As you can see I really am on a Mexican food binge! Mexi-Cal Baby Back Ribs are a show stopper!
These ribs are meat falling off the bone tender. I love taking a classic dish and jazzing it up a bit. Baby Back Ribs are a BBQ Staple. Your family and guests will applaud your “thinking outside the box” and serving them up something really special. Full of flavor and a snap to make. You will find that Mexi-Cal Baby Back Ribs have become a family favorite
You may be asking what exactly does Mexi-Cal mean? Well, I am sure that you have heard of Tex-Mex, a blend of Mexican and Texas-style cooking. Mexi-Cal is similar only better! California-style cooking is full of fresh bright and sometimes spicy flavors. It’s not all covered in sauce and full of cheese like Tex-Mex, it’s brighter healthier and in my opinion tastier.
Just look at these ribs! Don’t you want to sink your teeth into them right now?
You make a dry rub of Chili Powder, Onion and Garlic Powder, Cumin, Cayenne Pepper, and Salt and Pepper. Super Simple and I bet you have all the ingredients in your pantry right now.
