How to make Birria Tacos Recipe
YOU’LL NEED THE FOLLOWING INGREDIENTS:
750 grams.Of beef shank.
500 grams.Of cab sirloin.
THE MARINADE INGREDIENTS:
- 3 dried Guajillo peppers.
- 1 Can. Of chipotle peppers.
- 1/4 Cup.Of vinegar.
- 1/2 Cup.Of crushed tomatoes.
- 5 garlic cloves.
- 1 small spoon.Of dried oregano.
- 1/2 small spoon.Of smoked paprika.
- 1 small spoon.Of cumin.
YOU’LL NEED FOR THE Stew:
- A medium white chopped onion.
- A cinnamon stick.
- 2 bay leaves.
- 6 whole cloves.
- A quart. Of chicken stock to cover sodium-free.
FOR THE Tacos, I USED:
- 4-inches corn/flour tortillas, as needed.
- 1 medium chopped onion.
- 1 bunch of chopped cilantro.
- 1 Cup.Of grated Mexican cheese blend.
AND THIS IS HOW TO MAKE IT:
Step 1:
Firstly, you need to bring a big saucepan of water to a boil, then turn off the burner.
Step 2:
Allow 15 minutes for the dried guajillo peppers to soak. Meanwhile, cube your cab sirloin and salt and pepper both the steak and the shank. And set it aside for later.
Step 3:
In a blender, combine the marinade ingredients. When the peppers have finished soaking, hold them by the tip over the sink and cut the stem off with scissors, allowing the seeds to fall out before adding to the blender.
Step 4:
Following that, you’ll make a smooth paste out of the marinade. Marinate the meats for at least two hours and up to 24 hours.
Step 5:
Then, use a skillet over medium heat or set your Instant Pot to sauté high. Saute the onions in 1-2 tbsp oil until golden and transparent for around 8 minutes).
Step 6:
In a large saucepan, combine the meats, marinade, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, and cloves.
Step 7:
After that, you need to cover with chicken broth and cook for 45 minutes under high pressure. Set a slow cooker or stovetop to low heat for 4-6 hours if using a stovetop.
Step 8:
And allow for a natural release when the instant pot has completed cooking, then remove the meat. The bones should be shredded, placed away, and discarded.
Step 9:
Just warm some tortillas before dipping them in the stew. Build your tacos, then cook them in a nonstick pan over medium heat with any optional toppings. Serve right away, ideally with a margarita or a cool Mexican beer.
These birria tacos are delicious enough to devour by the dozen. However, if you want to serve them with aside, you could serve them with fresh tortilla chips or Mexican rice. ENJOY IT!!
