These Crock Pot Birria Tacos are a delicious and flavorful twist on traditional tacos. Tender beef is slow-cooked with a rich chili sauce until it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender, then stuffed into crispy fried tortillas for the perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Birria:

  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast (cut into large chunks)
  • 3 dried guajillo chilies (stems and seeds removed)
  • 2 dried ancho chilies (stems and seeds removed)
  • 1 onion (quartered)
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For Serving:

  • Corn tortillas
  • Oil for frying
  • Cilantro and diced onion for garnish

Instructions

  1. Soak dried chilies: In hot water for 15 minutes. Blend with onion, garlic, and tomatoes until smooth.
  2. Cook beef: Place beef in the crockpot. Pour chili mixture over beef. Add broth, vinegar, oregano, cumin, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
  3. Slow cook: Cook on low for 8-10 hours until beef is tender.
  4. Shred beef: Mix shredded beef with the sauce.
  5. Fry tortillas: Heat oil in a skillet. Dip tortillas in the top fat layer of the broth, then fry until crispy on both sides.
  6. Assemble tacos: Fill tortillas with beef mixture, fold, and fry again until crispy.
  7. Serve: Serve with additional broth for dipping, cilantro, and onion.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a chipotle pepper or a pinch of cinnamon to the chili sauce.
  • Make sure to use a deep skillet for frying the tacos to prevent oil splatters.
