Quesabirrias Tacos Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large pot, sear the beef chuck roast over medium-high heat until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In the same pot, add the dried guajillo and ancho chiles, garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, bay leaves, and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Blend the Sauce

    Remove the pot from heat. Discard the bay leaves and blend the sauce until smooth. Return to the pot.

  4. 4

    Cook the Beef

    Add the seared beef back into the pot, cover, and simmer on low heat for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender and shreds easily.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Tacos

    Once the beef is cooked, shred it with two forks. Heat a skillet over medium heat, dip a corn tortilla in the consommé, place it on the skillet, add some shredded beef and cheese, fold the tortilla, and cook until crispy and the cheese melts.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the quesabirrias tacos with chopped cilantro, lime wedges, Mexican rice, and charro beans on the side.
