Birria Tacos Recipe

I make this traditional Birria Tacos recipe by slow-braising lamb and beef with chilies and spices until tender. The rich, flavorful meat is then tucked into crispy tortillas, creating the ultimate Mexican dish. Once you try them, I’m sure these quesa tacos will become your new favorite.

📝 Preparation Steps

Prepare the birria consomé but do not add the chopped meat back to the strained liquid in the pot.

Making 1 taco at a time, lightly dip two corn tortillas into the top part of the consomé liquid and place on top of each other in a cast-iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat.

Immediately, evenly sprinkle some of the cheese on top of the corn tortilla, followed by evenly adding some of the chopped meat to the one-half side of the taco on top of the cheese.

At this point, you can also add diced onions and cilantro, but that part is optional.

Cook for a minute or two and then fold the taco over to help form it. Cook for about one more minute.

Repeat the process until all of the meat has been used.

Serve each taco with a small bowl of the consomé liquid that has been garnished with lemon juice, diced onions, and cilantro.
