Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 recipe Beef Birria not drained of fat, warm
  • 18 corn tortilla white or yellow, I used street taco size, but you can also do larger, soft
  • 1 small white onion or red or sweet onion, finely diced
  • 1 pound Oaxaca cheese grated
  • 1 bunch cilantro fresh
  • 3 lime cut into wedges
  • beef consomme for dipping, birria consommé, served in small bowls

ADDITIONAL OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

  • diced tomato
  • avocado diced
  • radish sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium high heat.
  2. Dip both sides of the corn tortillas into the birria consommé to lightly coat the tortillas and transfer the coated tortillas to the hot skillet. Let them cook for 1-2 minutes until they start to crisp.
  3. Flip the tortillas over and spread with a generous layer of grated cheese. Let the tacos cook for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese begins to melt.
  4. Top with a generous spoonful of beef birria on one half of the tortilla. Add diced onion, a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of cilantro.
  5. Fold the taco over and gently press with a spatula until the cheese starts to melt and ooze. Transfer the tacos to a serving plate and serve with more lime and extra cilantro and onions. Serve with a small bowl or ramekin of extra beef birria consommé for dipping.
