Steps
To make the Mexican-Style Pork Ribs Cooked in an Air Fryer, first place the ribs in a large bowl preparing them for the marinade.
Add fine salt.
Pour the extra virgin olive oil.
At this point, to complete the marinade, just add the Mexican sauce. You can follow the quantity I chose, or add more to get the flavor you desire.
Mix with your hands or with a spoon, trying to blend the ingredients very well together and let the meat rest in the fridge, covered, for at least 30 minutes
Place the ribs in the air fryer basket, spreading the remaining marinade in the bowl over all the ribs.
Cook in the air fryer at 356°F for 25 minutes in oven mode. The fat from the ribs will melt while the meat will remain tender and juicy. Turn them halfway through cooking.
Enjoy the hot ribs, perhaps accompanied by oven-roasted potatoes flavored with rosemary or with a simple green salad.
