Birria tacos are a traditional Mexican dish made with flavorful, slow-cooked meat, typically served in a corn tortilla and often accompanied by a rich broth for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 1 lb beef shank
  • 4 dried guajillo chiles
  • 2 dried ancho chiles
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish
  • Chopped onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a pot, boil the dried chiles until softened, then blend with garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, and a bit of beef broth until smooth.
  2. In a large pot, sear the beef chuck roast and beef shank until browned on all sides.
  3. Add the blended chile sauce and remaining beef broth to the pot with the meat.
  4. Season with salt and pepper, then cover and simmer for about 3 hours until the meat is tender.
  5. Remove the meat, shred it, and return it to the pot to soak in the broth.
  6. Heat the corn tortillas on a skillet, then fill them with the shredded meat.
  7. Serve with chopped cilantro, onions, and a side of the broth for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the meat overnight in the blended sauce.
  • Serve with lime wedges for added zest.
  • These tacos can also be made with lamb or goat for a different taste.
