Ingredients You’ll Need

To create your own delicious birria beef tacos, you'll need the following ingredients:

Cooking Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add the Seasoning: Once your beef is browned, sprinkle in the birria seasoning. Stir well to coat the meat evenly.
  3. Add the Broth: Pour the beef broth into the skillet, bringing it to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Prepare the Tortillas: While the beef is simmering, heat another skillet over medium heat. Toast each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side, just enough to make them warm and pliable.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Once the beef is ready, use a slotted spoon to scoop the birria beef onto the tortillas. Top with diced onions and freshly chopped cilantro.
  6. Serve: Serve your tacos with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick!
