This is finally your chance to make the most delicious homemade birria tacos. It's so much easier than you think!

Provided by Susy Villasuso

Categories     Entree     Dinner     Lunch

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups birria consomé
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
16 (4- to 5-inch) corn tortillas
4 cups birria meat
12 ounces (350g) freshly grated cheddar cheese
1 medium white onion, finely diced
1 small bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped
4 limes, cut in wedges

Steps:

  • Reheat the consomé: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, reheat 4 cups consomé. Once it comes up to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and keep the lid on.
  • Assemble and cook the tacos: In a large frying pan set over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. When the oil is hot and rippling, but not smoking, dip a tortilla into the consomé, covering both sides with it. Fill the tortilla with 2 tablespoons birria meat and 1 tablespoon cheese. Transfer it into the hot pan, don't fold it in half yet. Once the bottom of the tortilla turns lightly golden brown, fold it in half. Cook both sides until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are a deeper golden brown. Cook 2 to 3 tacos at a time following this process and adding more oil to the pan, as needed.
  • Serve: Transfer the tacos onto a plate and serve with the onions and cilantro scattered on top and lime wedges on the side. Provide each guest with a small bowl of warm consomé for dipping. Enjoy! The best birria tacos are freshly made, but leftover tacos and consomé can be tightly covered and refrigerated, separately, for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the tacos on a pan over medium-low heat and cover with a lid. Warm them up for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Reheat the consomé separately in a small saucepan.
