Hey Taco Lovers!

I wanted to share with you all my favorite recipe for Birria Tacos, a beloved Mexican dish that's bursting with flavor and tradition. Whether you're a seasoned chef or new to the kitchen, these tacos are sure to impress! Here's how to make them:

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. beef chuck roast or brisket
• 5 dried guajillo chilies
• 3 dried ancho chilies
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cloves
• 4 cups beef broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Corn tortillas
• Optional toppings: chopped onion, cilantro, lime wedges, sliced radishes

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dried chilies by removing the stems and seeds. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds on each side until fragrant.
2. Place the toasted chilies in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for about 20 minutes until softened.
3. In a blender, combine the soaked chilies, chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, cloves, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of beef broth if needed to help it blend.
4. Season the beef chuck roast or brisket with salt and pepper. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Sear the beef on all sides until browned.
5. Pour the chili mixture over the seared beef and add the remaining beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and falls apart easily.
6. Once the beef is cooked, shred it using two forks. You can also use a potato masher to break it down further.
7. To assemble the tacos, warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or griddle. Fill each tortilla with a generous portion of the shredded beef and fold it in half.
8. Heat a separate skillet over medium heat and place the filled tacos in the skillet, pressing them down gently with a spatula. Cook until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown on both sides.
9. Serve the Birria Tacos hot with your favorite toppings such as chopped onion, cilantro, lime wedges, and sliced radishes.

Enjoy your delicious Birria Tacos with family and friends! Feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings and salsas. Let me know how they turn out for you! Buen provecho!
