Birria
6 steps
Prep:15minCook:8h
To a crockpot add
1.5lbs of beef (I used chuck roast)
1 white onion, halved
4-6 garlic cloves
2-3 bay leaves
Seasonings (1/2 tablespoons of salt
and pepper, 2 tsps of chili powder,
1tsp of cumin, 2 tsps of oregano, 1tsp
of thyme, 1 tbsp of garlic powder)
Cover with 16 ounces of beef broth
and add water until everything is
covered.
For the Chiles you'll need Gaujillo
and Chile de Arbol (you can find this in
the Mexican isle at your local grocery
store or on Amazon, they come in a
clear plastic bag and are dried).
*About 5-6 gaujillo chiles depending
on size and 2-3 Chiles de arbol*
Take them stems off and shake the
seeds out. Give them a little rinse and
drop them into boiling water until they
soften (about 5 minutes). Once soft
add to a blender with half a tomato
and some of the water they were
boiling in. Blend until smooth and add
to your crockpot.
Set your crockpot to low for 8
hours (you can do high for 4 hours but
the results will be better if you cook
low and slow. I do mine overnight).
Once the 8 hours is up shred the
meat, it'll be soft enough you can do it
in the crockpot or take it out and
shred with a fork.
Save the consommé (broth) to dip
your tacos in and tortillas to fry up
your tacos
For the tacos, dip your tortillas in
consommé, add cheese, Birria meat,
and fry until golden on both sides. Top
with fresh cilantro and onions. Enjoy!!!
Ps. I doubled the recipe because I was
making it for family
