📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Trim as much visible fat as possible from each rib (optional but helps lessen the fat content). Brown the ribs in batches until browned on both sides (about ⏱️ 3-4 minutes each side, per batch). Transfer the browned ribs to a 6 litre slow cooker.
2
In a large jug, combine the chipotles, chipotle sauce, onion, garlic, barbecue sauce, lime juice, vinegar, bay leaves, cumin, salt, and broth together. Whisk well and pour over the ribs. Cover and cook for ⏱️ 6 hours on high or ⏱️ 10-12 hours on low, until the meat is falling off the bone. Allow the ribs to cool slightly in the sauce.

3
Remove the ribs from the sauce. Remove any excess fat from the ribs; discard the bones and shred the meat. Using a metal spoon, skim the fat from the surface of the sauce in the slow cooker and discard. Mix the sauce into the meat and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the meat and sauce into warm corn tortillas and serve with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, the avocado slices and sour cream (or Crema).

Brown ribs in the cooker pot in batches until all browned. Transfer to a plate. Add the peppers, onion and garlic, and saute until onion is transparent. Add the rest of the ingredients (from barbecue sauce to broth), mix them well, then add the ribs back to the cooker pot. Cover and lock lid in place. Select High Pressure (or Meat / Poultry setting) and ⏱️ 50 minutes cook time. When cook time is complete, do a natural pressure release for ⏱️ 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure (or follow your pressure cooker manufacturers instructions).
