Birria Tacos Ingredients
Method
Birria Taco Directions
Prepare the Chiles
Remove stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chiles. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Then, soak them in hot water for 15 minutes.
Blend the Marinade
In a blender, combine the soaked chiles, garlic, onion, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a bit of the soaking water if necessary.
Marinate the Beef
Cut the beef chuck roast into large chunks. Place the beef in a large bowl, pour the blended marinade over it, and let it marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Cook the Beef
In a large pot, add the marinated beef along with bay leaves and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 3 hours until the beef is tender.
Serve
Serve the tacos with lime wedges, additional diced onions, cilantro, and sour cream on the side.
