Ohjeet

Gather and prep all ingredients.

Season

Pat dry the chuck roast and season all over with salt and pepper.

Cook

Add the beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, beef broth, tomato paste, diced chipotle pepper, spices, and bay leaves to a slow cooker (mine is 6-quarts). Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 4–5 hours until the beef is fall-apart tender.***

Shred

Remove bay leaves and shred the meat directly in the slow cooker.

Dip

Ladle some broth (consomé) into a bowl. Lightly dip both sides of a tortilla into it.****

Sprinkle

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium. Place the dipped tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with cheese on half, top with shredded birria, and fold into a taco.

Cook 2–3 min per side until crispy and golden. Repeat with the remaining tacos.

Serve your birria tacos hot with small bowls of consomé for dipping. Garnish with diced onion, cilantro, and lime wedges.
