Ingredients

  • 2½ lbs beef chuck roast, cut into large chunks
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (avocado or vegetable)
  • 2 jars SOMOS Birria Taco Simmer Sauce
  • 8 cups beef broth
  • 2 (15 oz) cans hominy, drained and rinsed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Garnishes:

  • Shredded cabbage or lettuce
  • Diced white onion
  • Radishes, thinly sliced
  • Dried Mexican oregano
  • Lime wedges
  • Tortilla chips or tostadas

Prep

  1. In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high. Season beef lightly with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until golden brown, about 8–10 minutes total.
  2. Stir in the SOMOS Birria Taco Simmer Sauce, bay leaves, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 1 ½ - 2 hours, or until beef is fork-tender. Discard bay leaves.
  3. Stir in the drained hominy. Simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes to warm through and let flavors meld. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Ladle into bowls and serve with shredded cabbage, radishes, onion, oregano, lime wedges, and tostadas or tortilla chips on the side.
