Birria tacos are a beloved Mexican dish known for their rich, slow-cooked meat and flavourful consommé. The meat is gently simmered in a fragrant chilli-spiced broth until tender and juicy, then tucked into tortillas, layered with cheese, and crisped to perfection in the pan. Served with a side of consommé for dipping, these tacos bring together bold spices, richness, and comfort all in one perfect bite.
