Ingredients

  • 1.5–2 lbs chuck roast (or protein of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 jar of SOMOS™ Birria Taco Simmer Sauce
  • Corn tortillas
  • Shredded mozzarella or Oaxaca cheese
  • Chopped onion & cilantro (optional, for topping)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Prep

  1. Cook the Birria: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Sear your protein of choice (we recommend chuck roast) on all sides. Add seared meat and SOMOS™ Birria Taco Simmer Sauce to an Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 45 minutes. Once done, shred the cooked meat and reserve the remaining sauce (consomé) for dipping.
  2. Assemble the Tacos: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly dip each tortilla in the reserved birria sauce, then place on the skillet. Sprinkle with cheese, add shredded birria meat, and fold into a taco shape.
  3. Crisp the Tacos: Cook each taco for 2–3 minutes per side until crispy and the cheese is melted.
  4. Serve: Serve hot with chopped onions, cilantro, and a side of the warm consomé for dipping. Enjoy with lime wedges on the side.

*Can also cook in a crockpot on high for 3-4 hours (or low for 6-8 hours) or on stove top on simmer for 1.5 - 2 hours on low heat.
