Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Barbacoa

    If you don't have pre-cooked barbacoa, slow-cook beef with spices and broth until tender (about 8 hours on low). Shred the beef and set aside.

  2. 2

    Warm the Tortillas

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, add a portion of shredded barbacoa, then top with pickled onions, fresh cilantro, cotija cheese, and a drizzle of salsa verde.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while warm, with extra salsa verde on the side.
