步骤

MAKE THE BIRRIA SAUCE

Soften Peppers

Heat a large pan to medium heat and add the dried peppers. Dry toast them in the hot pan 1-2 minutes per side, until the skins darken. Remove from heat and add the toasted peppers to a large bowl. Cover with hot water and steep 20 minutes, or until softened.

Cook Veggies

While the peppers are rehydrating, heat the olive oil in the same pan to medium heat. Add the onion and tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes to soften.

Garlic

Add the garlic and cook another 1 minute, stirring.

Food Processor

Add the cooked onion, tomatoes and garlic to a food processor.

Softened Chilies

Remove the softened chilies and add to the food processor, but reserve the soaking liquid.

Birria Sauce

Add the seasonings to the food processor along with the vinegar and 1 cup beef stock. Process until smooth. It should be fairly thick, but you can thin if needed with the reserved soaking liquid. Strain if desired to remove any unprocessed bits of skin.

MAKE THE BIRRIA

Cut Beef

Cut the beef into large chunks and add to a large bowl.

Marinate

Pour the birria sauce over them and rub it into the meat. Cover and marinate the meat in the refrigerator for 2 hours minimum. Overnight is better.

Slow Cook

When you’re ready to cook, add the meat with all of the marinade, the chopped roasted tomatoes and remaining 3 cups beef broth to a large pot. Cover and cook at medium heat for 3 hours, or until the meat is fork tender and easy to shred. It should be fairly saucy.

Shred the meat with forks to your preference. Reserve most of the birria sauce (consome) for serving. NOTE: At this point, you only need 2 cups of the shredded birria meat and 1 cup of the birria consome/sauce. Reserve the leftovers and refrigerate or freeze to enjoy for another meal.

MAKE THE BIRRIA NACHOS

Oven

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Tortillas

Layer the tortilla chips onto a large baking sheet.

Add Meat

Spread the cooked birria meat evenly over the tortilla chips.

Add Cheese

Top evenly with the shredded cheeses.

Bake the nachos tray for 10 minutes, or until the cheeses are nicely melted and gooey.

Serve

Remove from heat, top with your favorite toppings, and serve!
