Savor the Flavor: Homemade Birria Tacos with Rich Broth Recipe

Ingredients:

2 lbs beef chuck, cut into chunks

5 dried guajillo chilies, stemmed and seeded

3 dried ancho chilies, stemmed and seeded

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 large onion, chopped

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

3 cups beef broth

Corn tortillas

Fresh cilantro and onion for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chilies:

• Toast the dried guajillo and ancho chilies in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant.
• Soak the chilies in hot water for about 15-20 minutes until softened.
• Blend the softened chilies with garlic, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until you have a smooth paste.

1. Marinate the Beef:

• Rub the chili paste all over the beef chunks and let it marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

1. Slow Cook the Birria:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
• In an ovenproof pot, combine the marinated beef and chopped onion.
• Pour beef broth over the meat and cover the pot.
• Cook in the preheated oven for 3-4 hours or until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.

1. Shred and Assemble:

• Once cooked, shred the beef using two forks.
• Warm corn tortillas and fill each with the shredded birria.
• Top with fresh cilantro and onion.

1. Serve with Birria Broth:

• Ladle some of the cooking broth (consommé) into small bowls for dipping or sipping alongside your tacos.
