From time to time you see recipes that become very popular over social media and get many recreations. This Birria Tacos recipe is one of them! What’s not to love about beef tacos dipped into “Consomé” or meat juices? Traditionally Birria comes from the state of Jalisco, Mexico and can be made of mutton, goat or beef. Birria mainly consists of slowly stewed meat cooked in an “adobo” (a smooth chilli puree) prepared with Mexican dried chillies, garlic, tomatoes and onion. You can find beef birria served in Mexico like a stew, garnished with finely chopped raw onion and coriander, served with warm tortillas and limes on the side. The current trend takes some of that delicious birria and uses it to fill a tortilla lightly coated in some of the beef consomé (cooking juices). Cheese is then added and it gets cooked over a hot pan like quesadillas. Once the cheese is lovely and gooey, they are served with a small bowl on the side with more of the lovely consomé, ready for you to use as a birria tacos dipping sauce! You can equally just serve the beef birria over warm Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps with a simple garnish of coriander and onion. Our Birria Tacos recipe is made using Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste combined with roasted garlic, onion and tomatoes that make the base for our tasty birria consomé.
