BIRRIA TACOS | Rick Bayless Taco Manual

[@jenwin0205]

Mr. Bayless is more Mexican than me. I love that he respects Mexican culture, and didn't sellout, and make the move to LA. He's our Chicago legend.

[@allupinya5938]

Aint no Mexican sellouts in LA foo. LA is Mexico

[@eec589]

Dude, L.A. is mexican like Miami is Cuban. Plenty of good and non bastardized mexican food in this town, especially street vendors.

I met Rick Bayless at his restaurant in Chicago and he is such a kind person. He had me and my gf go behind the bar to take a picture because “the lighting is better there” he’s my favorite and I just love him so much more after getting to meet him.

[@katenatalie7159]

This was such a traditional dish in my family. I had the task of peeling loads of garlic. The marinade had guajillo, vinegar, ginger, sesame seeds, marjoram, cumin, all spice, salt and a beer. Usually it was made with a really young goat or 2 becceritos Or lamb. The meat was marinated for 24 hrs and then steamed not boiled. The water that was used for steaming became the most delicious consomé broth.

[@tedfitzpatrickyt]

I ordered this recently for the first time at a Taqueria and I couldn’t believe I’ve gone my whole life without tasting this unbelievably delicious dish

[@leoalcaraz6153]

Rick makes me appreciate Chicago; I didn’t grow up eating birria I’m from Michocan originally birria is not big there; but Chicago has food from all of Mexico and Rick does a great job of exploring it all and now birria is my guilty pleasure I get it at Zaragoza down by archer

[@cmcull987]

I love how Chef Rick explains cooking food with other senses like color, feel, sound, sight.

[@armandomonroy1711]

Birria is always good in all presentations: in a bowl, in tacos, in tortas, in burrito, Guadalajara style, Tijuana style, Sinaloa style, etc.

What about Prince Edward Island style

When he used lamb for Birria instead of beef, I immediately fell in love 😍 Love you and your cooking. Your showing this Mexican-American girl how to cook

[@LordShockwave9]

Getting a master class in Mexican food from a culinary legend. We're blessed. Thank you Rick. I love birria and want to make my own.

[@grenslitt]

Please do it. Make the dish! You will never be the same !!!!

[@jodirauth8847]

This man is my go to mentor on all mexican food. He translates these recipes to make them easy to make from available American grocery stores.

[@L.Spencer]

I only knew of birria as a guiso, in Mexico and San Diego, eaten with tortillas, but not as a "taco". They've become real popular here in San Diego the past 6 years or so. And they're amazing!

[@mrprutten]

Rick! Thanks for making the wonderful real Mexican cuisine approachable and giving people the inspiration to make it themselves. Much appreciated!

[@grenslitt]

I’ve been watching Rick Bayless for years. I subsequently came across this KZbin episode by chance and remembering him from a cooking show I tried this recipe. Holy Cow!! This done properly is the best excuse to eat. I know Rick has a lot of “Best things” but it’s all true. Each of These recipes reaches into that level of excellence where they are just that; Devine Consumption. I will be eternally grateful to enjoy and share just what he has found and shared with each of us. Thank you Rick. Thank you thank you thank you. Best, Tom G

[@Nordestada]

Thank you Rick. Always appreciated and enjoy your cooking since I started watching your PBS shows years ago. I am an Argentinean in Texas that loves Mexican food since I was introduced to it over thirty years ago. You are a great cook and teacher. Thanks!

I’m eating this birria as I write this, it’s delicious !! Only my 2nd attempt at birria, this is miles ahead of my 1st try(another recipe). I used 3lbs of chuck roast with all it’s fat, incredible red oil at the end! Muchas gracias señor Bayless, me gusto mucho !

[@eliseolopez2790]

Rick Bayless is a master chef

[@UnforeseenTruth]

Besides the cumin, if you add just the right amount of crushed thyme, cinnamon and cloves to the ingredients and beef cubes for salting to your broth instead of just salt it makes it taste out of this world. That's how we used to do it in Jalisco Mexico.

[@smokeyfrog210]

Nice, straightforward presentation. No frills, so one can experiment and grow from this as a standard. I think Rick should take a trip, domestically and to Mexico and document his visit to a few dozen of the best taquerias.

Birria is one of those sleeper dishes in the pantheon of Mexican dishes that more people should try. If you have a friend that "does not like Mexican food", they probably haven't had posole, mole poblano, birria, rajas con crema, etc.

I made this last night (went with goat). It was awesome Rick. Did some without cheese and some with a mix of Oaxaca and queso fresco. This gringo preferred the queso option.

[@TheCatWitch63]

I like your recipe but can’t keep from wondering why you didn’t use the other spices that are usually included in birria, like cinnamon and clove, and sometimes even allspice. Also, why didn’t you use any chile ancho? In my house we combine pasilla, guajillo, ancho and morita, for flavor and spiciness. I’m intrigued , though, so I will try your simpler version next time that I’m short on my supply of chiles secos. Thanks!!

[@jamesstein5087]

Thanks for sharing the ingredients you use. I believe this recipe would be a bit bland in my opinion. I will try this recipe along with your suggestions. Thanks again.

Rick! I love, love, love birria tacos! I've made them several times but was curious what kind of chefy magic you were going to add to the recipe: Short ribs, roasted guajillos peppers, roasted garlic and crisps them on a griddle of course. Fantastic! I'm drooling. Also, please someone tell me what birria means in English. I can't seem to find a translation anywhere. Thank you!

[@rickbayless]

Hi Daphne, the reason you can't find what birria means in English is because there isn't a translation! There is an older interpretation that has Birria meaning "scraps" or "worthless" but now that's just the name of this dish.

[@daphnepearce9411]

@Rick Bayless Interesting....I guess it could also maybe loosely mean "leftovers" too? Thank you!

[@bobl4451]

Guanajuato goat birria was fantastic!

[@PASoundStudio]

for my birria I use a beer and water for the sauce/broth. Very excelent! dip the tortillas in the broth and toast on an electric flat top griddle. flip tortillas and place meat and cheese and one half and fold over the tortiila. cook about a minute, flip taco cook another minute and serve.

[@squaresphere]

That's intresting, I've always had these types of tacos with some cheese fried on the outside.

Would love to see your recipe for that hot sauce! I know it’s a simple thing, but I make my own hot sauce (almost) weekly, and I’m always chasing the perfect flavor - and I’m a HUGE fan of arból based salsa taquera.

Why do you not sear the meat before adding the braising liquid? Wouldn't that boost the meaty intensity?

Tradition. Also we brown it afterwards, so you get all that wonderful meaty intensity (and crispiness)

I've been obsessed with birria tacos for a year or two now. And slightly embarrassed, as I've been mispronouncing all that time apparently. Almost all tho have had a hint of clove and cinnamon in the broth. Which I think makes the dish. My wife would argue that point tho. The best I've had was at a food truck passing thru Denver. Some places also make a birria ramen which is equally fantastic.
