Steps

45 minutes

1

In a pot of boiling water, add 1 clove of garlic and a piece of onion. Add the chiles (washed and seeded), turn off the heat, cover, and let them soak in the hot water for at least 20 minutes.
2

Place the pork ribs in a pot with just enough water to cover them, along with 1 clove of garlic, a piece of onion, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the water evaporates and the ribs are tender. Let them brown slightly in their own fat.
3

Blend the soaked chiles with the spices and the teaspoon of Maseca. Strain the sauce and add it to the ribs. Let it simmer for a few minutes, then add the cooked nopales. Simmer for another 5 minutes and it's ready. Note: The Maseca thickens the sauce; you can use cornstarch or all-purpose flour instead.
