Pat pork ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
Step 2
Arrange ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet, bone side down. Squeeze juice from 1 lime over the ribs.

Roast at 425°F for 30 minutes until edges caramelize and meat pulls back from bones slightly.
Step 4
Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes until cool enough to handle.
Step 5
Pull meat from bones with two forks, shredding into bite-sized pieces. Discard bones.
Step 6
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, 20 seconds per side, until pliable and fragrant.
Step 7
Fill each tortilla with shredded pork. Top with sliced onion and cilantro.
