Quesabirria Tacos Recipe

Directions for Quesabirria Tacos

1. 1

   Prepare the Birria

   In a large pot, combine the beef chuck roast, guajillo chiles, ancho chiles, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

2. 2

   Cook the Beef

   Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

3. 3

   Shred the Beef

   Remove the beef from the pot and shred it with two forks. Strain the broth to separate the solids from the liquid. Reserve the broth.

4. 4

   Make the Tacos

   Heat a skillet over medium heat. Dip a tortilla in the reserved broth, then place it on the skillet. Add a portion of shredded beef and a handful of cheese on one half of the tortilla.

5. 5

   Fold and Cook

   Fold the tortilla over to create a taco and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the quesabirria tacos with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and salsa on the side.
