Crockpot Birria Tacos

Healthy Fact of the Day

Using chuck roast provides collagen-rich meat that becomes tender when slow-cooked. Add extra onions and cilantro for a boost of fiber and antioxidants.

These Crockpot Birria Tacos are the ultimate comfort food. Chuck roast simmers all day with dried chiles, garlic, and warm spices until it’s fall-apart tender. Stuff it in crisped corn tortillas and dip each taco in the rich consomé. It’s bold, satisfying, and sure to be a crowd favorite.

Complete this Mexican feast with our Mexican Coleslaw for a cool crunchy contrast to the rich birria or add Mexicorn Rotel Dip as a creamy side that echoes those bold south-of-the-border flavors. Both complement the tacos perfectly while keeping the meal cohesively delicious.

    Ingredients

    • 2 pounds beef roast

    • 4 cups beef broth

    • 3 cloves garlic

    • 1 large onion

    • 5 pieces dried guajillo chilies

    • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

    • 1 teaspoon cumin

    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

    • 1 teaspoon paprika

    • 6 pieces corn tortillas

    • 0.5 cup chopped cilantro

    • 1 cup sliced onions

    • 1 cup shredded cheese

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    Directions

    • Start by soaking the dried guajillo chilies in hot water for about 15 minutes until they are soft.
    • In a blender, combine softened chilies, garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, and paprika to make a smooth paste.
    • Rub the paste over the beef roast. Place the beef in the Crockpot along with broth and vinegar.
    • Cover the Crockpot and cook on low setting for 8 hours or until beef is tender and easily shreds.
    • Remove the beef from the Crockpot, shred it with a fork, and set aside. Reserve the broth for dipping.
    • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Dip a tortilla in the reserved broth, then fry in the skillet.
    • Add shredded beef, cheese, cilantro, and onions to the tortilla. Fold and cook until the cheese melts.
    • Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding more oil if necessary. Serve with reserved broth for dipping.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
