Birria Tacos Recipe

Directions to Prepare Birria Tacos

1. 1

   Prepare the Meat

   In a large pot, place the beef chuck roast and cover it with water. Add the guajillo and ancho chiles, garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.

2. 2

   Blend the Sauce

   Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the pot and set it aside. Strain the cooking liquid to remove the solids, then blend the liquid with the softened chiles and garlic until smooth to create a sauce.

3. 3

   Shred the Meat

   Shred the cooked beef chuck roast and return it to the pot with the sauce. Stir to combine and let it simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
