Add a spoonful of the cilantro and onion mixture to the consomé and add a squeeze of lime.Mince up some onion and cilantro and mix it in a small bowl with a few squeezes of lime and a pinch of salt.Add some of the sauce (the consomé) to a bowl and add a little beef broth if it needs to be thinned out.Remove the meat from the sauce and shred it with two forks.Transfer the pot to the oven to braise for about 3 to 3 1/2 hours, until the meat shreds easily. Bring it to a gentle simmer and then cover. Pour 1 cup of broth in the blender and swish it back in forth (to pick up any extra sauce) and pour it into the pot. Add the meat back to the large pot and pour the sauce over it.Drain it and then transfer everything to a blender, along with a cup or two of beef broth or water.We want the tomatoes and chiles very softened. Cover the chiles and everything with water and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Then you’re add the chiles, tomatoes, onions, spices and garlic to a pot.Transfer the meat to a bowl and then repeat with the remaining pieces of meat. You’re probably going to have to do this in batches, but sear the meat on both sides for about 3 minutes per side. In a large pot that has an oven-proof lid, place it over medium-high heat.Bring meat to room temperature and then salt it liberally.I was just frustrated that it yielded very little meat. I also used 1 pound of oxtail in one testing of it and it was wonderful. If there is any fatty excess pieces, just leave them because they add flavor to the sauce. You can use ALL chuck stew if you want (so 3 pounds). And then for flavor purposes, I added 1 pound of short ribs. Cuts of meat – I’m using chuck stew meat that I bought in a big chunk and just cut it into 3-inch pieces.
If you’re using regular cinnamon, I would say just add it to the mixture to boil and then remove it and discard. The Mexican version I find is more fragrant and delicious. Of course, in a pinch you could use the Italian version. Mexican oregano – You can find this at a Latin market and it’s very different from, say, Italian oregano.Of course, you could leave the seeds if you like it and want it super spicy. I recommend using kitchen shears to trim the edges and discard the seeds. They are so delicious and rich in flavor. Dried chiles and/or peppers – This recipe calls for guajillo, ancho and chiles de arbol.Truly a magical meal! Birria IngredientsĪll of these ingredients can be found at your local Latin market and you’re truly not making tacos de birria without these dried peppers. And a small bowl of consomé is served on the side for dipping. The Birria Tacos are then filled with melty Oaxacan cheese (quesillo), cilantro, lime and white onion. BUT, please keep in mind that I am Peruvian and this means I grew up with spicy food so my tolerance is quite high. You may be asking yourself: are birria tacos spicy? I say not really. Traditionally there is no chicken in sight, but if you wanted to use chicken, you absolutely could!
