Birria Ingredients

Method

Birria Preparation

1

Prepare the Chiles

Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chiles. Soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes until soft.

2

Make the Marinade

In a blender, combine the soaked chiles, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, and a cup of beef broth. Blend until smooth.

3

Cook the Meat

In a large pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the chuck roast, browning on all sides. Pour the marinade over the meat, add bay leaves, remaining beef broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.

4

Shred the Meat

Remove the chuck roast from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded meat back to the pot and let it simmer for an additional 30 minutes.

5

Prepare the Burritos

Warm the corn tortillas in a pan. Fill each tortilla with a generous amount of birria, chopped cilantro, and chopped onion. Roll them up tightly.

6

Serve

Serve the burritos with lime wedges and a small bowl of the birria broth for dipping.
