Introduction

Get ready to impress at your next barbecue with these Dorito® Powder Barbecue Ribs! This recipe combines the smoky goodness of the grill with the bold flavors of your favorite chips. Cooked to perfection on the Arteflame Grill, these ribs are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients:

• 2 racks of pork ribs (about 4-5 pounds)
• 1 cup Dorito powder (crush your favorite flavor of Doritos into a fine powder)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
• 2 cups barbecue sauce of your choice
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ribs:

   Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by loosening it with a knife and pulling it off. This step is crucial for tender ribs.

2. Make the Dry Rub:

   In a bowl, combine Dorito® powder, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well.

3. Season the Ribs:

   Apply a generous amount of the dry rub to both sides of the ribs, pressing it into the meat to adhere.

4. Preheat the Arteflame Grill:

   Get your Arteflame Grill ready by establishing a medium heat zone. The Arteflame's unique design is perfect for cooking ribs evenly.

5. Grill the Ribs:

   Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, away from the direct heat on the center grill grate. Cover the ribs with aluminum foil and cook for about 2-2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone. Maintain a consistent grill temperature by adjusting the coals as needed.

6. Apply the Barbecue Sauce:

   In the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs generously with your favorite barbecue sauce. Turn the ribs occasionally, applying more sauce each time, to create a rich, caramelized outer layer.

7. Rest and Serve:

   Once the ribs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and let them rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

8. Cut and Serve:

   Slice the ribs between the bones and serve hot. Enjoy the unique flavor combination of Dorito® powder and classic barbecue on the Arteflame Grill.

Tips

• For an added Dorito® twist, sprinkle a little extra Dorito® powder over the ribs just before serving. This will intensify the flavor and add a vibrant touch to the presentation.
• Experiment with different Doritos flavors to find your favorite combination.
• Ensure your grill maintains a steady temperature for even cooking.

Variations

• Try using different chip brands if Doritos aren’t available.
• Mix a bit of melted butter with the crushed Doritos for a richer coating.
• Use chipotle powder instead of cayenne for a smoky heat.

Best pairings

• Serve with a side of creamy coleslaw to balance the bold flavors.
• Enjoy with a cold beer, such as an IPA or a smoky stout.
• Pair with grilled corn or roasted potatoes for a complete barbecue feast.
