Birria Style Tacos on the Flat Top Grill

[@joejohnson3998]

Made these for a group of friends this weekend. Made about 25 of them, and they were devoured. Amazing results, the Barbacoa is a game changer on all my Mexican food since watching this video.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Heck yeah...thanks Joe...amazing how easy it can be...the flavors are there for sure

[@brandonmontgomery3401]

Love how you explain even the little things so newbies know what's going on. Looking forward to using your recipes.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Glad you like them!

[@cyber_sal]

Thank you for showing us how to make these Birria tacos on the flat top griddle. Just got the new 36” Blackstone griddle a few days ago and after a couple simple breakfasts (i.e., pancakes, eggs and bacon), we got brave and had some friends over for a Father’s Day lunch yesterday. Everyone was blown away by how amazingly delicious those birria tacos were!!! Such an easy recipe to follow too. Huge thanks to you and your wife for sharing all this super helpful content!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey I appreciate that...thank you...cheers

[@aly7476]

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. Simple Birria style tacos. Perfect 👍

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hey thanks....sometimes simple can go along way

[@toddfinley6516]

Thank you. I've been looking for a quick barria taco 🌮 gonna cook them now🤤

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hope you enjoy...

[@williamsantiago4370]

Love this idea !!! What a great hack to get those flavors without all the cook time. Thanks for all the GREAT tips and recipes.

[@franciscoysaguirre2551]

You a beast on that flat grill boy!! Nice!

[@house0412]

Man, these tacos are Fire!! I've made them about half a dozen times since you came out with this video. The family loves them, and we'll be having them again tonight. Great recipe!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey what or how do you make them now that the sauce is discontinued ...we have tons of questions about they cant find it ....It was discontinued not long after...

[@house0412]

@The Flat Top King I was never able to find the sauce you used in the video. I have always used Frontera Red Chile Barbacoa Slow Cook Sauce with the enchilada sauce and beef broth. I'm not sure how it compares with the one you used, but we enjoy it.

[@wardencobb7442]

This is a game changer of a recipe. Seriously, dipping the shells before frying?! Simply put: I can't believe I've NEVER done this before! Great video, great recipe, great job!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Warden...

I am celebrating 30 years at my job (no fanfare or anything from them) so I bought myself a Maker's Mark griddle, I want to Thank You for your skills and showing me to best is yet to come. Blessed!!!

I like this. Im a scuba diver that just purchased my first black stone. Its a 17 inch. I got it for our 1 hour surface intervals between dives. Im always looking for things i can whip up fast for a few of us between dives. That way we dont have to leave the quarry for lunch.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Very cool...

[@masteratpokemon4545]

This is perfect for what I was looking for!!! Thank you!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jrm637]

Oh I have been HOPING to find a video like this. I wanted to make some Birria tacos and when I learned the process and saw how long it was going to take, I just gave up. So THANK YOU for sharing this with us. It's DEFINITELY going to happen!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hope you enjoy....I get so much crap from people about this one video...the whole idea was exactly what you just said...some people either don't want to take that long or have the ability to do it...so what you should not be able to enjoy such a great iconic dish...absolutely not...make it easy and enjoy...thanks brother

[@jrm637]

@@TheFlatTopKing Look... I'm Mexican and I get why people would give you crap about this one. I figured you would get it. lol But I think you made it VERY clear in your video what you were trying to achieve. I'm going to make this and will report back. By the way, I'm trying to find that Barbocoa sauce and not having any luck. I see it's a Kroger brand but I don't see the Barbocoa sauce come up at their website or even at my local Kroger store.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

@@jrm637 they have discontinued it. They should gave a barbacoa seasoning in the Mexican isle. I just used it recently from another video. I made smoked pork ribs queso tacos. Check that one out. Thanks for the comment.

[@best-people-are-you8387]

Can't wait to try this recipe, as always looks delicious.

[@RealPeterGunn]

My brother just sent me the link to this video. We send each other our favorite recipes we find from your video list. This video is simply outrageous and so over the top GOOD!!! We grill, smoke and griddle outdoors all year. We're in Nebraska so the winter can be a bit of a challenge. The snow gets in the way but for meals like this, ain't nothin gonna stop us from the griddle / Flat Top!!! Thanks again for the best recipes on the net!!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Great mins think alike. Thats awesome. FTG 365

[@davidsimpson3489]

Gbr and griddle on Peter!

[@davidsimpson3489]

I've got a lot of family out there in Husker Country brother. My dad used to be one of the only guys around that smoked brisket out there. That's the good thing about that griddle though, you can keep it going most all of the year round I'd imagine. Pull it in the garage if you have to lol!

[@nancyjudd348]

I LOVE what you did using ground beef and sauces. I'm with you who has the time to make it Birria tacos the old way. QUICK EASY AND DELICIOUS!! Great Video. Well done amigos!!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Well as for much hate i get for this idea it’s refreshing to get positive comments as well. Thanks Nancy. Much appreciated

[@randycastro3965]

People who are not LAZY!!! Lol 🤣

[@chrisbsworld6634]

Congrats on the rebranding. Keep up the great work both of you!!! 😀

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Chris. What do you think of the new style.

[@debramejia5091]

Wow! That was amazing and I know birria! Can't wait to try these awesome tacos; thanks!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Well thats good...usually i get blasted on how bad I am to make a cheat version.....Heck they are good...are they the same nope but close when you dont have time or the know how. That being said do you have a great recipe for the Birria..would love on. I remade this video with Birria and then queso Birria enchiladas. Maybe give a quick watch and see how I can improve on my next Birria

[@rochelleclark9474]

Wow Yes look absolutely fabulous

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thank you...

[@Rainy78]

Im looking for a ground beef birria recipe. I think I found it! I like to use Guajillo chiles for the sauce. Boil them and blend them. Gonna check out that Barbacoa sauce you have. Thanks for sharing! 🌮

Hope you enjoy

[@wendykupser9249]

Absolutely cannot find Barbacoa cooking sauce anywhere. Is there by chance a link you could share for that. These look amazing

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Yeah Kroger has deleted since this video has aired...I have found however a package in the mexican isle called barbacoa seasoning and we just used it on our Smoked Pork RIb Queso tacos video

I've been bugging for some birria my grandma was from Mexico and owned restaurants so I learned from her. But I gotta try this will be done on stove with fresh homemade tortillas yummm...thank you

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Please do I would love feedback...so much is negative because they feel like its a horrible idea or I am disrespecting the culture...just wanted to show people another alternative to a fantastic and iconic dish.....this one for sure..

[@SuperCrazzie]

@@TheFlatTopKing I think it's an amazing idea a little twist. People are to quick to get butt hurt (bless their hearts)...authentic mexican food is a all day thing pretty much...its not disrespectful at all...everything is so expensive now so I'm sure thoes who complained will do this...birria is really just a stew with a French twist. Keep doing you.

[@ivanjimenez7829]

This video broke my heart

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Its not the real thing and I understand...its about not having the time or the know how to create the dish as intended...the flavors are very close.....all I can say as you can read through the comments is this dish is so Iconic it should be celebrated more ways than one.

[@jeffreyrepass6834]

As usual a week late! Loved this idea! As for what to make, I saw your video on making pizza in an iron skillet on your grill and in the oven! Both looked great! We are going to try the deep dish one in the oven this weekend! I would love to see how you would do a pizza on the flat top. Keep up the great work!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Ive tried twice. Acceptable yes but proud no. Its hard to get the top lightly brown. The crust is not the problem its the top. Tried to make mini calzones and that was a no go. Once it expanded from the steam and you flip it it just burst. Ill keep trying.

[@karlsimonian1424]

[@jaredbaratono897]

Might be kinda old to comment…. But I am telling you this is a FANTASTIC way to kick your tilllas up a notch. This one has been on my list since I found you; finally tried it tonight. Wife says best tacos ever. You are the man, my friend. FYI: my mom used to make basically the exact same sauce, but thickened the broth into gravy, and baked stewed steak burritos with it. Called then “burros” not burritos, but they were the real deal. Winter dinner idea.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Wow, thanks! Funny because as you see in the comments I get so much hate for a cheat version...Heck sometimes people want great food fast and dont have either the know how or the time to make something like the real deal. I thought it was a great compromise... Thanks Jared

[@jaredbaratono897]

@@TheFlatTopKing I got one for you: If your cheat tastes just as good, is it a cheat, or are you just a more experienced cook? Unless you’re in the middle of a contest, are there rules were sticking to? In this case, I made a taco meat, and also grilled a marinated skirt. Both were fantastic filling. It was the sauce, and the hot griddle. Thank you for that. Cooks who bitch about technique, but can’t compete with their taste, just need to go cook more. BBQ have exemplified this t9 no end. I was BBQing 15-20 years before you ever saw an episode of Pitmasters. Still wanna tell me I didn’t trim my shoulder right? Let’s go have a sammich and see. 😀 Thanks for all the great advice My wife says thanks, too.

[@timothybinford61]

Been doing this for several years I think it's better than the real thing!!

[@jebbaldwin8516]

the king!!!

[@DFWJon]

Why do you run the tortillas through the ground beef grease before soaking them in the pan juice??? I’m genuinely curious. Thanks and it looks amazing!!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

The fat is what makes the taco crunchy...when making traditional Birra...the fat from the meat floats to the top of a huge pot...they dip the tortilla in that and it grabs the oil and flavor from the consomme....or broth...thus flavoring the tortilla and adding fat to it to help fry

[@DFWJon]

IM ON MY WAY!!! What time will the next batch be ready to eat???

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hahaahha hey these are great for sure...get alot of hate because its NOT traditional but that don’t mean they aint good...
