These Crock Pot Birria Tacos bring slow-cooked beef, smoky chilies, and crispy tortillas together in one seriously satisfying meal. The meat turns tender and flavorful in the crock pot, then gets tucked into golden tortillas and topped with fresh garnishes for the kind of taco night that disappears fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 3 dried guajillo chilies
  • 2 dried ancho chilies
  • 1 onion
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • Corn tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro and diced onion, for topping

Instructions

  1. Put the dried chilies in hot water and let them soak for about 15 minutes until softened. Transfer them to a blender with the onion, garlic, and diced tomatoes, then blend until the mixture is smooth.
  2. Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker. Pour the blended chile sauce over the meat.
  3. Add the beef broth, vinegar, oregano, cumin, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until the beef falls apart easily.
  5. Remove the beef and shred it with two forks, then return it to the sauce so it soaks up all that flavor.
  6. Warm oil in a skillet and fry the tortillas until crisp. Fill them with the shredded beef, then finish with cilantro and diced onion before serving.
