Ingredients needed
I flavored the beef with onion, garlic, taco seasoning and fresh jalapeños but you could add a one or two chipotles with a few tablespoons of adobo sauce for extra smokiness if you preferred. Dried chillies/chiles like guajillo or ancho chiles will also work well.
Beef short ribs. Onion. Fresh garlic cloves. Taco seasoning. I make my own taco seasoning but you can use any store-bought spice mix containing cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, etc. Salt and black pepper. Fresh jalapeño. Beef stock/beef broth.
For the salsa roja The salsa Rosa adds incredible flavor to the tacos but you can use any salsa/sauce of your choice on these tacos.
Ripe tomatoes. Red onion. Jalapeño pepper. Garlic cloves. Cilantro/coriander. Lime juice. Olive oil. Salt.
For the tacos
Tortillas. I used corn tortillas but flour tortillas work just as well. Pickled red onions. Avocado slices.
