What it is
Succulent pork ribs, slow-grilled or roasted until fall-off-the-bone tender, then served with a rich, smoky recado (sauce) made from fire-roasted tomatoes, garlic, onions, and mild chiles. The sauce provides a deep, complex flavor to the fatty ribs.
Key ingredients
Pork ribs, fresh tomatoes, yellow onion, garlic, mild dried chiles (e.g., guaque, pasilla - stems/seeds removed), olive oil, salt, black pepper, bay leaf, thyme.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no sugar is added to the recado sauce and no carb-based thickeners (like masa or flour). Request served with keto-friendly accompaniments only, such as avocado, grilled low-carb vegetables, or a simple green salad, omitting rice, beans, or tortillas.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in the recado sauce; traditional high-carb side dishes.
