My favorite birria tacos #shorts

How I make birria tacos. I used a beef shank for the meat, seasoned with salt and pepper and they hit the @biggreenegg at 250 degrees, indirect for 3 hours.

For the broth, I used 7 chile guajillos, 1 chile ancho, 4 chile de arbol, seeds and stems removed. Toast these up in some olive oil, then add 3 Roma tomatoes, 1 onion, 7 cloves of garlic and get everything softened up.

Add your spices 3 tbsp chicken bullion, 1 tbsp each: chili powder, paprika, cayenne, cumin, Mexican oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.

Add 5-7 cups of water, 1 cinnamon stick, 4-5 bay leaves and a few cloves. Bring to a simmer and cook for an hour or so.

Remove the chiles and veggies, and blend them together. Place the beef shank in the dutch oven and cover with the mixed liquid. Cook covered over medium heat until fork tender, about 3 hours. Shred the meat and assemble the tacos. I did cheese, meat, more broth, cilantro and onion.

And these turned out AMAZING! So flavorful, smokey, spicy, and delicious! #tacos #recipe #dinner

Many non-Mexicans have taken notice about birria and consome tacos the last few years. That is an alternate way of making it. Check out YouTube on how Mexican folk traditionally make it. It tastes delicious (if you haven't had it!).

This looks fantastic, bursting with full flavor. 👍👍👍🌟

Also note, sometimes you will have a lot of consume left... I've made beans and stews....

Stews are probably my favorite to make with it. Because it's as simple as getting a pot going with the liquid, throw in the meats while cooking the meats by boiling them in the consomme, and slowly adding the vegetables when necessary by cook time.

The last one I made was literally last week. chicken, Salvadorian sausage, greens( yes greens, first thing I added was them cook them for a total of 45 minute), carrots, corn, tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, Serrano peppers, jicama instead of potatoes for a great texture contrast. There isn't really a need to add any other seasonings but I did add a little extra cilantro and parsley since I had some leftover.

Since it's going to be a very deep flavor stew, I suggest Salvadorian cream to help cut some of the richness down. The one I get is a creamy cheesy crema. Honestly it's expensive but it tastes so good.

As a 10000% 🇺🇸🇲🇽 that’s been eating birria since the 1980’s. I’ll tell the secret to the best concome is to cook the bone in the broth for hours, that’s what gives it the flavor. Another secret ingredient that Americans trying to imitate the recipe fail is y’all forget to add cinnamon and vinegar

When I was a kid back in the early 80's this kind of food was made fun of and thought as 3 world class food. I'm glad people are of different cultures are finally recognizing the rich culinary Mexican culture has to offer .
