Birria tacos are a rich, flavoursome Mexican dish made with tender, slow-cooked meat that is marinated in spices. The fall-apart tender meat is put into tacos, which are pan-fried until crispy and served with a side of consommé for dipping. Juicy, spicy, and deeply savoury, birria tacos are the ultimate comfort food with a bold kick.

Frying-Pan
Slow Cooker

Step 1

1 Prepare Ingredients

Preheat your slow cooker (if you're using the oven instead - see tip). Peel and dice onion. Dice half the jalapeno and slice the rest. Shred cabbage. Dice tomato. Chop coriander leaves and stems and keep separate.

Step 2

2 Brown Steak and Onion

Heat a pan on medium high heat with a drizzle of oil. Season steak with salt and pepper and brown each side, about 1-2 minutes. Add steak to slow cooker. Brown onions in the same pan, about 2-3 minutes. Add onions to the slow cooker.

Step 3

3 Prepare Birria & Cabbage

Add taco seasoning, stock, coriander stems and passata to the slow cooker with the steak and onions. Add 1-2 cups of water, add enough to cover the steak. Cover and simmer for 4-6 hours, or until the steak is tender and pulls apart. In a bowl mix cabbage, sugar and vinegar together. Season with salt.

Step 4

4 Shred Steak

Remove tender steak from the slow cooker and shred in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup sauce from the slow cooker. In a bowl mix tomato, coriander leaves (to taste) and diced jalapeno (to taste). Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

5 Toast Tacos

Brush the outside of each tortilla with sauce and divide the shredded steak and cheese between each tortilla. Toast in a pan on medium heat or in a sandwich press until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crispy on the outside, about 1-2 minutes each side.

Step 6

6 You Plate It!

Divide tortillas between plates. Divide gravy between small bowls and use as a dipping sauce for tortillas. Top tortillas with salsa, remaining jalapeno and pickled cabbage. Enjoy!
