Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Prepare a small but deep skillet with avocado oil over medium heat
- Once hot, place short ribs on pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sear 2-3 minutes per side
- Remove from heat, then add diced onion, garlic, broth, salsa verde, adobo, and paprika, and allow to simmer and reduce slightly, about 5 minutes
- Add short ribs back in the pan, cover, and bake at 325 for 2-2.5 hours
- Meanwhile, prep your elote slaw
- Char your corn for best flavor and texture- simply heat a skillet with a drizzle of oil and brown the sides, about 6 minutes total
- Add all slaw ingredients to a bowl and mix to combine. You can do this when your ribs are ready, or ahead of time and keep in the fridge
- Once ribs are cooked and slightly cooled, use two forks to shred the meat
- Layer your meat on 6 buns, then top with a generous serving of slaw
- Drizzle with warmed blanco cheese dip, then top with bun
- Take it over the top by brushing the tops of the buns with your melted garlic butter
- Enjoy!
