Instructions

Prepare the Birria

  1. Toast and Soak Chilies
    • Toast the dried chilies in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
    • Remove stems and seeds, then soak the chilies in hot water for 20 minutes.
  1. Blend Spices and Chilies
    • In a blender, combine soaked chilies, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and 1 cup of beef broth. Blend until smooth.
  1. Cook the Beef
    • In a large pot, add the beef chunks and pour the chili mixture over the meat.
    • Add bay leaves, cinnamon stick, and remaining beef broth. Season with salt and pepper.
    • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 4 hours or until the meat is tender and shreds easily.
  1. Shred the Meat
    • Remove the beef from the pot and shred with forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot and stir to combine with the sauce.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. Prepare Tortillas
    • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with oil.
    • Dip corn tortillas into the consommé to coat them, then place in the skillet.
  1. Fill the Tacos
    • Add shredded beef and cheese (if using) to one side of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half.
    • Cook until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  1. Serve
    • Serve the tacos hot with chopped onions, cilantro, and lime wedges.
    • Pour the reserved consommé into small bowls for dipping.
