Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure tenderness.
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
Place the ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle them with olive oil.
Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until tender.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the Southwestern glaze. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine Heinz ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and water.
Stir the glaze mixture until it is well blended, then simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
After the ribs have finished baking, remove them from the oven and carefully open the foil.
Brush a generous amount of the glaze over both sides of the ribs.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the ribs for 5-10 minutes per side, basting with additional glaze, until they are caramelized and slightly charred.
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the ribs hot with extra glaze on the side.
