Directions

1. Lightly smash garlic cloves with the bottom of a heavy skillet to flatten. Cook in a large skillet over medium-low heat until softened and browned, about 10 minutes. Cool and peel.

2. In same skillet at the same time, cook dried chilies, pressing them against the bottom with a spatula or tongs until lightly toasted and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Pour boiling water over chilies to cover; let stand 15 minutes. Drain.

3. Place chilies and garlic in a food processor. Add 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, two cans green chilies, vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper and cinnamon; process until blended. Stir in remaining enchilada sauce and green chilies. Transfer to a slow cooker. Add ribs; turn to coat. Cover and cook on HIGH until meat is tender, 3-4 hours. During final 30 minutes, cook fries as directed.

4. Remove pork; shred with two forks. Top fries with pork, cheese, enchilada gravy and pico de gallo.
