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. It 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 Soft Taco Wraps with a simple garnish of coriander and onion.

Our Birria Tacos recipe is made using Chipotle Paste combined with roasted garlic, onion and tomatoes that make the base for our tasty birria consomé.

INGREDIENTS

Tacos:
Olive oil (for cooking)
5 large vine tomatoes (halved)
1 white onion (cut in chunks)
1 whole garlic (whole head of garlic cut in half )
4 spring onions (cut in chunks)
530g of brisket
650g short rib
½ tsp ground clove
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp Chipotle Paste
½ cup of apple cider vinegar
2 bay leaves
A handful of coriander (stalks and leaves)
2 pints of water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (for seasoning)
1 packet of Soft Taco Wraps
150g grated cheddar

Garnish:
½ finely chopped white onion (finely chopped)
Handful of coriander (finely chopped)
3-4 limes (cut into wedges)

HOW TO MAKE

1. The first thing to do is to prepare the adobo for the birria. Place the tomatoes, onion and garlic on a baking tray. Add a pinch of sea salt on top and bake in the oven at 200°C for 20-25 min, approx.
2. In the meantime season your meat with salt and pepper, making sure it is well seasoned all around. Prepare a heavy-based cast-iron pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Once the oil is very hot sear your meat making sure it gets a good colour, once ready turn the heat off and set aside.
3. Remove the baking tray with roasted vegetables from the oven, and place them all in a blender (remove the garlic skins). Add all the spices, Chipotle Paste and apple cider vinegar. Blend everything together into a smooth mixture.
4. Pour all of the roasted chipotle adobo over the brisket and short ribs. Add in a couple of bay leaves, a handful of coriander leaves and stalks, and the water. Cover with a lid and place in the oven at 180°C, for 3 to 4 hours.
5. Once your meat is ready, remove it from the pan and place it in the dish. Shred it with the help of two forks (remove the bones ), then add 1 cup of the consomé over your meat and reserve the rest.
6. Place a ladle of the consomé into a shallow bowl, coat your Soft Taco Wraps with the consomé, and fill them with the shredded birria meat (see pictures for reference). Add a little cheese, fold and heat them up over a hot pan until lovely and crispy. Repeat the same process with the rest of your tortillas.
7. Now serve your birria tacos with a bit of white onion and freshly chopped coriander. Have some of the consomé on the side, ready to dip your tacos into – you can thank us later!
