Ribs are one of those meals that bring people together. They’re hands-on, messy in the best way, and full of flavor. When baked in the oven, they cook low and slow until tender, soaking in every bit of seasoning and sauce along the way.

Our Spanglish Asadero Mexican BBQ seasoning brings smoky chipotle, warm spices, and a hint of lime, working into the meat before the ribs even hit the oven. As they cook, the flavors deepen, creating a perfect base for the red sauce. The sauce clings to the ribs, adding another layer of richness and just the right amount of tang.

Eating ribs is more than just a meal—it’s an experience. The kind where napkins pile up, fingers get messy, and every bite is worth it. Whether served with simple sides or straight off the pan, these ribs keep the focus where it should be—on bold, satisfying flavor.

Mexican BBQ
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300° degrees.
  2. Peel the membrane from the back of the ribs. NOTE: Using a paper towel to grab a portion of the silver skin can help with the quick removal.
  3. Season the entire rack of ribs generously with Spanglish Asadero Mexican BBQ Seasoning.
  4. Place the rack of ribs meat side-up, on a wire rack on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and cook until the ribs reach an internal temperature of 185° degrees, about 2 - 2 1/2 hours.
  5. While the ribs are cooking, prepare your sauce by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium low.
  6. Add the onion, garlic and 1 tbsp. Spanglish Asadero Mexican BBQ Seasoning. Cook until onions begin to cook through, about 4-6 minutes.
  7. Add the fire roasted tomatoes, the chicken stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. NOTE: Be sure to not have the skillet boil dry. Keep extra chicken stock on hand, should you need to add more.
  8. Once the ribs reach 185° degrees, remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. When they have slightly cooled, slice into individual ribs.
  9. Place ribs into sauce and stir ensuring they are coated evenly.
  10. Simmer ribs in sauce for 15-20 minutes.
  11. Serve warm with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
