Birria Tacos – RecipeTin Eats
want a fresh element. Lime wedges – To squeeze over the tacos for a hit of acidity. Serve – with the consommé on the side for dunking. Garnish with extra coriander if you wish. Cooking Birria Tacos – The method! The process of making Birria Tacos is a bit involved, with a few different elements to prepare. But don’t be put off – it’s all very straightforward! Here’s a summary: Make the adobo paste – Blend the dried chillies, garlic, onion, tomato and spices to make a thick paste. Simmer to reduce and intensify flavours, then blend smooth. Prepare beef and braise – Sear beef, then simmer in the adobo paste with beef stock and spices until fall apart tender. Shred beef – Then toss in some of the sauce to coat for extra flavour. Assemble tacos – Fill tortillas with beef and cheese, then pan fry until crispy. Serve – with consommé on the side for dunking. How to eat Birria Tacos Dunking – Birria Tacos are typically served with a rich consommé on the side for dunking. The idea is to dunk the taco into the consommé then take a bite before it gets too soggy – though some people like it very soggy! I prefer a good dunk, but not so much that the taco is falling apart before the last bite. Consommé vs broth – The consommé is thicker and more flavour-packed than a typical broth. It’s made by reducing the braising liquid until it has a rich, concentrated flavour. It clings to the tacos better and is more intensely flavoured. Storage + Reheating The tacos – While best fresh, these Birria Tacos can be reheated in the oven (recommended – crispier!) or in the microwave. Store the tacos separate from the consommé to keep them crispy. The consommé – Will keep in the fridge for 3 days, or can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stove until hot. Freeze – This recipe is freezer friendly! Freeze the consommé and shredded beef separately for up to 3 months. Birria Tacos FAQs Can I make this with other meats?
