Birria tacos are so good you'll be making them every week.
What are Birria Tacos?
Periya is traditionally a very spicy and flavorful Mexican beef or goat broth that is slow-cooked until the meat is tender, crumbly and flavorful. Someone had a great idea stuffing this tasty meat into a taco shell, then dunking the whole thing into the soup and frying. taco afterwards
Beef taco
While birria is traditionally made with goat, for most of us it's easier to get beef, which is what I went for here. Beef is also the safer choice for the masses, but if you're a fan of adventure and want to go with goats, you should absolutely go for it. The recipe is as is, just swap the beef leg and goat sirloin steak.
The best beer sandwiches are dipped in soup and then fried until crispy
The magic really happens in dipping the tortillas into the soup and frying them until they're crispy, so don't skip this step. Tacos are good but very few people who don't live in the Southwest know that tacos become truly sublime once the tortillas are cooked in fat. Traditionally they do this in butter or lard, but here we use the fat from the top of the stew to give it that extra kick. Once you've bite into a crispy fried taco wrap, you'll never come back.
Beria Instant Pot
You can make this soup any way you like, but I prefer it in an Instant Pot because it's much faster, and keeps more flavor inside the dish. Those delicious aromas that fill your home when you cook slowly for hours? These are flavor molecules, meaning that this flavor isn't in But, no matter how you make this, it will turn out absolutely delicious, so choose the method that works best for you.
Dutch oven
To cook this in a Dutch oven, you will need a fairly large Dutch oven. Follow the instructions all the way around to close the Instant Pot lid. Alternatively, cover the Dutch oven and set it to as low a heat as possible on your stove, or alternatively, put it in Oven 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-6 hours.
slow cooker
The only tricky part to making this in a slow cooker is sautéing the onions. The solution was to skip this step entirely. Doesn't seem to make much difference. What I did was put all the ingredients in the slow cooker and set it to low for 8 hours. This recipe is as given They don't fit in our smaller slow cooker, so I cut them in half, but I think they'll fit a standard slow cooker size just fine. Let me know in the comments if you end up trying this.
PERIA INGREDIENTS
Beef. For the ultimate peri peri sandwiches, use a good quality beef leg. This is non-negotiable. You can, and should, mix in other cuts as well for texture and variety. I prefer lean meat for tacos, so I mixed it with a cheap BBQ piece like beef. loin, but if Steve was okay, she would use short ribs. But, since they don't cook, we ended up with sirloin.
Dried guajillo peppers. These sun-dried peppers add an authentic touch of Mexican flavor to any stew and you can usually find them in the Mexican aisle of your local grocery store (if you live in America). To worry at all. If you can't find it, substitute any dry Mexican/Southwest pepper you can find, such as ancho, New Mexico, California, or Basilla. If you really can't find it, you can skip it, but it's well worth it. Find it!
Chipotle peppers in adobo. These come in a small can and are delicious salty, sweet and spicy. They make the base of many Mexican stews and pickles and you can find them pretty much everywhere in the world, they are just that good. We usually keep 3-4 cans around for sandwiches tacos;
Mexican oregano. This version of oregano is always cheaper and almost always better and better than the spice aisle, so if you're already on the Mexican aisle, be sure to buy a bag, usually just 99 cents or so.
How to make beria stew
Preparing periya stew is quick and easy:
Soak the pepper.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then remove from the heat and soak the dried peppers while doing the following steps.
Season the meat.
While you are waiting for the pepper to soak, cut the roast beef into cubes and season the meat with salt and pepper
Make the dressing.
Put everything left together except for the cloves, bay leaf, and cinnamon in a blender. Remove the peppers from the now warm water and let it cool enough to handle. Grab them by the end of the sink and cut off the tops with scissors. The seeds will fall off right away. Then drop them in the blender too. Mix everything in a soft dough.
Marinate the beef overnight. Two hours is good enough too, but always longer when it comes to stews.
Make the soup.
Fry the onions. The onions are the base of all the flavors, so make sure they are super tasty - translucent and golden. Take your time. Then add the meat, cover with chicken stock, and add the few remaining spices. That's it!
How does Birria Tacos work?
Once the soup is done, making the tacos is super easy:
Mince the meat.
Fry them too, if you like. I skipped this step and it was fine, but if you like your meat crunchy and hot, here's where you'll do it.
Heat the tortilla.
This makes them pliable and soft. We use a tortilla warmer, but you can wrap them in wet paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds.
Dip and fill.
Dip the tortilla into the soup, the fat is close to the surface so you don't need to dip too much, but make sure to cover it. Then half the tortilla with beef, onion, cilantro (optional) and cheese (optional).
Fold and fry.
Fry the tacos in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Serve with a side of soup to use as a dip
tortilla
These tacos use street-size corn cakes, but you can use anything you want. I like to use homemade uncooked cornflakes or flour tortillas and cook them myself. Whole Foods often have really good local tortillas, even the uncooked ones in the fridge section.
If you are in a place where there is no access to good homemade tortillas
Or store-bought tortillas, you need to heat them to make them tender and delicious. If the tortillas break when folded, heating them will fix that. The best way to heat the tortillas is to wrap 6-12 at a time with a wet paper towel and microwave for 10-30 seconds, then let them They rest for another 10-30 seconds.
Quesabirria Tacos
Everyone loves cheese
And cusaberian tacos may be more popular than wild tacos. To make kusabrian tacos,
Chop some Oaxaca cheese into your tacos before you fold and fry them. If you can't find Oaxaca,
Feel free to use mozzarella or cheddar. Although, for me, I like to cook up some old-fashioned Cotija cheese in tacos instead to pull off the extra cheese and delicious melt. In contrast to the melted cheese, the soft bria, the crunchy tortillas are one of my favorites. My perfect bite in this world.
