Birria Tacos on the Griddle -- My BEST yet

These birria tacos on the griddle were absolutely fantastic, and pretty darn close to authentic! Yes, they require a little bit more work, but most of the time is spent simmering the beef, dried peppers, and vegetables on the stovetop, so this is the perfect birria tacos recipe to make year round!
This homemade birria is made with three types of dried peppers, beef chuck roast, short ribs, and oxtail, but you can just use all chuck roast if you prefer to keep the costs down. Some Mexican spices, beef stock, and vegetables create the perfect simmering liquid, and when all of the beef is fall off the bone tender, you take the meat out and blend up the remaining peppers and vegetables.
We’ve made authentic beef birria a few times before, but this was the best yet! And these birria tacos on the flat top grill were absolutely fantastic! Enjoy! ‪@TraegerGrills‬

You have gotten plenty of pronunciations for Oaxaca. The peppers are pasilla=pah-seeya, arbol=ahr-ball, guajillo=wa-hee-oh. No matter how you pronounce them, birria is one of the most flavorful meals ever created. Yours look amazing. I am on team dipped because if you can dip in the grease only, the tortilla will crisp up beautifully with the flavor going all the way through it. Also, slip a little of the cheese on the griddle before laying the tortilla on top. Crispy cheese, crispy tortilla, amazing beef and onion crunch - so tasty it's probably sinful in many countries.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

For whats its worth...spelled like that I can actually pronounce...thats fantastic...I truly thank you...

[@jordankoster6176]

I just got a griddle as a Christmas present and started looking up some videos. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and you got a follow! Easy to follow along, entertaining, and you make it look easy. Can’t wait to try this recipe out…looks phenomenal!

[@frankmarullo228]

This meal looks good guys ! THANK you for this one , who needs a COOKBOOK when we all have you guys to watch ! THANK you Frank from montana.....

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey thanks bud....

[@bobbicatton]

Messy in the absolute best way!! It was great to see you do some different versions. I think I might prefer the undipped as well. Love that crunch👍😊

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I totally agree! Crunch for the WIN...

[@HTownDeplorable]

Looks great!

Looks absolutely amazing. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy holidays to you and the fam.

[@DBLACK71811216]

This tacos looks so delicious sheesh!!!

[@JB-ov2el]

These look great! If you like a crunchy tortilla, make a straight chile oil and dip the tortillas in that. Now you have the best of both worlds! But I’d belly up to all of those you made today! Can’t wait to make birria on my new griddle!

[@jakespencer8077]

Hands down one of my favorite meals!! I’m starving now..

Hey Neil I love how you cooked everything in one pot! I have watched a lot of videos on these tacos but never seen everything cooked together. I bet it was delicious

Looks great Neal. You know I'm from Vidalia onion land but we prefer the white onions with Mexican dishes.

that sounds alot better...

[@michaeldanzy456]

Oaxaca = Wu-hock-a. Can't wait to give these a try

[@Panazule]

Thank you so much. I have this exact griddle and the front part not seasoning was driving me insane. It was causing sticky areas due to uneven seasoning, resulting in having to spend alot of cleanup time. The oven trick changes everything. Thank you

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Glad it helped!

WOW that’s all I can think of

You should try making smoked mozzarella, and add it to pizza…yum ( cold smoke)

Those look so super tasty Neal!! 🔥🔥🔥

Your Spanish is not bad, your English is okay... take that "s" off Kroger and you'll make my day!

[@TheNudeAmerican]

It seems like it's always cooler there than here on the southeast border of Wisconsin. You must be at a higher elevation in the Smokies or something then.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Close...I think it has more todo with no sun available under the porch...

[@TheJoshHafner]

Quick question for yall! Where’d you get the wooden table that you used to prepare the tacos in this vid?

[@TheFlatTopKing]

The actual base is from Costco...you can find similar at Lows, Home Depot, or Harbor Freight....the second cutting board is from Lowes...they have different sizes as well

[@garyhostetler3800]

I’ll take 3 of each! Great way to show there is more than one way to ………

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Gary

[@ronhunter3799]

Hi Neal, is this recipe on the flat top king website,

[@BigPeter1313]

Definitely doing this recipe. Oaxaca is pronounced "wa-hock-a". It must have warmed up seeing that you switched from a full jacket to a vest with long sleeves hybrid.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

You are correct....typical this time of year

[@jim73challenger]

Looks amazing and I'm sure it'll be delicious! If you want to impart even more flavor, never use water, fill that sucker up with beef stock.

[@christopherpridmore]

I separate the fat from the juice. So I can fry in birria fat. Yum

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I have tried that 2 different times and just could not get the same crips...and suggestions

[@SanJoseDale]

Just went to your Pellets and Potts web site, there is a Rubs and Sauces section, but nothing there. Was looking for your Texas rub recipe you mention here.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

We are currently getting it up as we speak...just ran out of time

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Should be 100 done by end of day today

[@SanJoseDale]

Great thanks!

Where can I find the recipe I don't seem to see it

[@stephanemswiler3842]

My shells are sticking to the griddle. I haven’t been using as much oil on the griddle as you. Have you ever had that issue before. Do you think the oil could be the issue?

[@jeremydobbs2773]

same, my shells stick to the griddle... I tried adding more oil and they still stick but not as much

[@TheFlatTopKing]

I have not...how well do you think your griddle is seasoned...Maybe temp could been an issue...its important to get kinda hot...almost the idea of fry...425 ish...its hard to know without literally being there...

[@jasonrobinson6046]

Where is this recipe at I can’t find it on the website?

[@TheFlatTopKing]

We didnt make one for this...its hard to keep up with videos, recipes etc...

[@jasonrobinson6046]

I was just needing the spices and ratios for the spices you added everything else is very well explained.

[@deadgolfer6345]

Those look amazing, obviously, and I want one very badly. Also, love the show and the other show. But if I had a criticism, this is a bit much! We're into multiple meats, including exotic meats, meats cooked over multiple days, using different cooking methods, using many man hours, multiple cooking apparatuses, inside and outside. Can this be considered something I might reproduce? Also, love the show. And I love Pellets and Pits. Subscribed. Also use your website. Bought the seasonings. I'm all in.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely it can....I actually did one when we first started years ago...look up my other one...Cheat Birria Tacos with ground beef...super easy...and mention something like you just did... I wlll say...to us its not to much...I absolutely love to cook and we make easy med and hard dishes...sometimes I like to go all out....like Pastor..or homemade naan..just something for everyone

O…hock…a.

[@jmert_5859]

You were close on all 3, but what does it really matter how you say it? This isn't Spanish 101 FYI a double ELL, "L", in Spanish is an E sound. Guajillo - wha-hee-o. Again, doesn't matter how you pronounce it. Looks stupid delicious.

[@rodderbob]

I'm tickled that you're using the good, dried chiles.............I cringe when you try to pronounce the names😅.......but your explanation of the flavor choice by taste profile was spot on. All the gelatin from the boney meat chunks does wonders for the mouth feel of the eating experience. I bet the contents of that pot of goodness would make some killer enchiladas too...........

[@TheFlatTopKing]
