Ingredients

Scale

Birria Tacos Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 14 Corn tortillas
  • 1/2 White onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup Chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • Shredded birria meat (quantity to fill 14 tacos, approx. 3-4 cups)
  • Birria sauce (enough to dip and coat tortillas, about 1-2 cups)


Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Prepare the tortillas: Dip each corn tortilla briefly into the birria sauce, ensuring it is well coated, then place it into the hot skillet.
  3. Add the filling and fry: Immediately top the coated tortilla with shredded birria meat. Fold the tortilla over to form a taco and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is crisp and golden brown.
  4. Serve: Remove the tacos from the skillet and serve hot, garnished with diced white onions, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges. Optionally, serve with extra birria sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Use freshly made birria sauce and cooked birria meat for the best flavor.
  • Dipping the tortillas in sauce before frying creates a flavorful, crispy shell.
  • Adjust the amount of birria meat to your preference but ensure enough to fill each taco.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
  • Use vegetable oil or another neutral oil suitable for frying.
