I've never had Birria tacos before so this is my version.
And let me tell you it was a long way t go for a few awesome tacos.
The recipe that I was looking at was for an InstantPot, which I don't have, so it was MSU all the way.
Started by smoking 2.5 pounds of tri tip steaks that I got from my local market. Steaks were dusted with Naturiffic New Mexico spice blend.
After 1.5 hours of Hickory smoke on the 26" Weber I brought them in. No idea of IT. Just wanted some smoke flavor.
While the smoke rolled, I made some fresh sourdough tortillas.
Cooked these in the house in my new favorite CI pan.
The smoked beef got covered in the Birria marinade and fridged for a couple hours.
Then back to the 26er and into a 12" lodge pan to simmer the meat in the broth (with the marinade) for another 2.5 hours till the meat was falling apart.
Used my pizza pan to cook the tacos.
Dipped the shells in the fatty broth, topped with cheese, and then the meat.
This picture speaks for itself.
Plated with some of my Mexican rice.
Was one of the best meals I've eaten in a very long time.
And as always, thanks for checking it out.
