Instructions

Birria Meat:

Proceed with the below recipe one you've made a batch of birria and strained the sauce to make a consomme.

Warm the Tortillas:

Stovetop (Preferred Method): Heat a griddle over medium high heat. Place the tortillas directly on the pan for 45 seconds before flipping and cooking for another 30 seconds. If the tortilla isn't quite soft enough, keep on the griddle until to your liking. Remove and set aside until ready to serve.
Microwave: Wrap 3-4 tortillas in a slightly damp paper towel and microwave in 30 second increments. Once softened to your preference, remove and set aside until ready to serve.

Build the Tacos:

Pile the meat onto the soft tortilla and top with the taco toppings you prefer. Serve with a cup of consomme and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Note 1 - The birria can be made up to 3 days in advance.

Note 2 - Feel free to sub in flour tortillas, if you prefer.
