Description
Savory and juicy Crock Pot Birria Tacos featuring tender beef chuck roast, crispy tortillas, and vibrant toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 3 dried guajillo chilies
- 2 dried ancho chilies
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces)
- 2 cups beef broth
- Corn tortillas
- Fresh cilantro, for topping
- Diced onion, for topping
Instructions
- Begin by placing the dried chilies in hot water. Let them soak for about 15 minutes until they are soft.
- Once softened, transfer the chilies to a blender. Add the onion, garlic, and diced tomatoes. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- In your slow cooker, place the beef chuck roast. Pour the blended chile sauce over the meat.
- Add the beef broth, along with any extra seasonings like vinegar, oregano, cumin, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 480 to 600 minutes, or until the beef easily falls apart.
- When ready, remove the beef from the cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the sauce to soak up all the flavor.
- In a skillet, warm some oil and fry the corn tortillas until they are crispy. Fill them with the shredded beef, then top with fresh cilantro and diced onion before serving.
Notes
Adjust the number of chilies to match your spice preference. Marinate the beef overnight in the chile sauce for added flavor.
