Beef Birria Tacos Using the Instant Pot Recipe

The Instant Pot quickly braises beef to ultimate tenderness. Dip tortillas in the cooking liquid for added flavor, then crisp the outside in a cast iron skillet. Melted cheese takes you into quesadilla territory. Special equipment required: Instant Pot (or similar style multicooker), blender and a cast iron griddle or pan.

I live on a military base overseas, where we have literally no restaurants… This recipe makes me feel like I’m back in the states!! turns out perfect every time

[@Aaron5571]

Simple and good recipe. The only thing i add as well is some clove, allspice, and bay leaf

[@BlazinPhoenix82]

Oh nice, I was going to use Bay Leaf, and I've seen recipes using clove. I was going to use bay leaf and a carrot. Maybe I'll try a dash of clove as well for good measure

[@jessiemeehan6769]

This is my favorite Birria recipe I’ve been using it for 3 years now.

[@DoodlingIdiot]

Made these last night and they were the BEST homemade birria tacos ive ever made. Thank YOU!

[@TheTynesha]

Very simple and easy got mine in the pot now hopefully it’ll taste good.

[@BlazinPhoenix82]

I've been wanting to make these tacos for quite some time now, and with so many recipes, I didn't know which way I wanted to approach it. After countless hours of watching different recipes, I've decided on this one specifically with a small tweak. I'm going to add bay leaf and carrot to the pot before pressure cooking. Looks simple and delicious. Can't wait to try

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Let us know how they turn out!

[@sfkido143]

Taco Saturday 🌮

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Absolutely!

[@brightma1]

Hello! I am going to make birria tacos today for the first time. I know people use different chiles. I have guajillo and chile de árbol. Can I add the Chile de árbol to your recipe? I never used dry chiles and don't know which are spicy. I'm a Puerto Rican trying to make Mexican food. My family loves Mexican food. 😊 Thanks for your recipes!

[@Rybins]

the chiles de arbol are spicy

[@rollout1984]

I make your Swiss steak regularly, I'll give this a go.

[@flyingcat2054]

I can help you with those😋.I have a beef shank, would the same time frame used to pressure cook this cut like with the chuck? It’s easy to over cook in these pots I find. It’s a leaner cut of meat.

[@Mosin-lf7wl]

Y’all had me at chili colorado

[@grapeejuicee8600]

So I'm in a time crunch my local Mexican supermarket is closed only place near that has the pods and I have to compensate the guajillos with chipotles in adobo. Can anyone help me figure out a ratio? I'm about to run some tests in the meantime. But because these peppers are softened already do I skip the simmering in broth step? Would I just add the broth and cleaned peppers right to the blender? Any help would be Divine ❤

[@joycebelk4634]

I’ve made these twice and need help. They were awesome but….first time I only had flour tortillas so I used those. They got really soggy during the fry it process to the point they had to be eaten with a fork. I tried them again the next week (yes they were that good) and this time I used corn tortillas and the same way. Help please.

[@arkangelarkangel1302]

Now just show up to a Mexican wedding and bring a plate!!!!!

[@shaylawilliams7033]

Has anyone used flour tortillas? How was it?

[@FerDiazdeLeon]

Yep this is a good mexican recipe and thanks for crushing that stupid taco bell tortilla at the begining of the video

[@michaelpryor78]

The beef looks amazing, but part of me thinks that dipping the tortilla in the drippings and frying it like that would make the thing too greasy.

[@karlchesser5032]

It doesn't taste greasy ,I've done a different recipe putting the tortillas in a chili oil before frying, gets the tortillas crunchy and delicious

[@thesep1967]

I thought tacos, burgers, kebaps, etc. were meant to let you eat greasy meat and sauces with your fingers and not get dirty hands in the process. Why then would you dump the isolating part (the taco in this case) into goo before eating?

[@ytgadfly]

never had a birra taco? the tortillas are dipped into the fat layer of the broth and fried. it gives them much more flavor

[@PredictableEnigma]

It makes them crunchier actually.

[@amzadhossain7483]

He lost me with the flour tortilla

[@dw3403]

you can use corn too

[@svclark83]

Is a gringo jaja always eat flour tortilla

[@RecklessTheory]

That's white corn tortilla. if you pause at the right moment you can see it says corn.
