Equipment

  • Sharp knife & cutting board or veggie chopper
  • 1 6 Quart Multi-cooker: This is the slow cooker that I have and love. It is not only absolutely beautiful but it comes in so many different colors!
  • Souper Cubes (optional for storage).

Ingredients
  

For the Birria Beef:

  • 2 –3 lbs chuck roast trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 Birria Bomb such as EZ Bombs Original Birria Bomb Seasoning
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 4 cups beef bone broth or water

For the Tacos:

  • Corn tortillas
  • Shredded cheese Oaxaca, Chihuahua, Asadero, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or Mozzarella
  • Diced onion for topping
  • Fresh cilantro chopped
  • Diced jalapeños optional
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Slow cook the beef. Add your chuck roast, birria bomb, chopped onion, and 4 cups of beef bone broth (or water) to your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 6–8 hours or high heat for 4–5 hours, depending on your schedule. Hint: to deepen the flavor of the beef. Sauté the chuck roast on both sides for 2-3 minutes until you have a nice golden brown crust.
  • Shred the beef. Once the beef is tender and pulls apart easily, shred it using two forks. Add it back into the slow cooker and stir so it soaks up all that flavorful birria sauce.
  • Prepare the tortillas. Warm your corn tortillas in a hot pan over medium heat for about a minute per side. Hint: To prevent your tortillas from falling apart when you dip them into the consume, make sure to heat them up first. Then dip each tortilla into the consomé from the slow cooker, that’s where the magic happens!
  • Fill and sear. Place the dipped tortilla back in the skillet, sprinkle with your cheese of choice, top with the shredded birria meat, and add another sprinkle of cheese before folding it in half. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  • Serve and enjoy! Serve with extra consomé for dipping, diced onions, fresh cilantro, jalapeños, and a squeeze of lime. Dip, bite, and enjoy!
