I live in Jalisco and I currently own a birria restaurant, been making birria pretty much all my life and let me tell you that your recipe is pretty accurate and really well executed. Nice job
How important do you think are the Chile de Arbol? I have the other chillies lying around and want to make it but since I’m living in Germany I have to order stuff like that online. Donyoj think im fine making it without them!
@@neilantonjoseph you don’t have to use it, but if you want to spice it up just make a nice roasted salsa with jalapeños or Serrano or something similar. A lot of restaurants like those in Mexico give you the option or red or green salsa anyway.
Thing is what you call accurate could be much different in another part of South America. The standard for “accuracy” will never meet anyone’s expectations entirely.
I've been trying to get my hands on some good birria here in San Bernardino county but I'm not too lucky here :/ looks really good, hopefully I can get some before 2021.
I'm South African and I made this on Friday. It its no doubt the best thing I've ever made! My friends came over, one of them are Mexican and he said he felt home. WHAT A COMPLIMENT! Claps for papa lol

I’m blessed to have had birria readily available in my Mexican household growing up. My parents convinced our local street vendor in Jalisco to share the secret recipe with them right before we moved to the USA where my mom was born. I litteraly have cousins that no longer like their own mom’s birria after eating the one we make. Conflicted.
Okay this is VERY accurate to how we make ours at my restaurant. The biggest difference is that we have our meat in a huge pot and we cook it with salt and spices AND in a separate pot we cook up the chili combination and then blend that down. At about the four to six hour boiling mark we dump the blended chili sauce into the meat pot and let it simmer for another couple hours. Then we pull it off, separate the meat from the sauce and use a huge wooden spatula to mash the meat down, then we use a ladle to get as much of the grassa (grease) off the top of the consume as we can. Upon getting orders we dip the taco/mulita/quesodilla into the grassa, put it all together and serve it with a side of consume.
I discovered birria from a food truck next to my apartment. I've gone there at least once a week for a year and a half now. They know me by name, have my usual order memorized, and officially labeled me their best customer. I can't get enough. People like you are doing God's work
Look, no hispanic grandma is gonna call you bad at attempting to make this as authentically as possible. You're good man, I'm hispanic and those look real nice. Good job
Yeah this is way better than his quesadilla video, those weren’t amazing but these actually look fantastic and if I ever find myself wanting Birria then I might make this, also I’m Mexican sooo.
Joshua is the first gringo I've seen that nails true Mexican food like the tacos al pastor or this one. It's pretty hard to find an american that uses chile guajillo, chile de árbol and queso Oaxaca. Well done
@M W but even Tex-Mex is not real Mexican food. What I love about Josh is he actually takes the time to research and tries to make it pretty close to the traditional dishes
as someone who was born & raised in san diego, its such a norm for me!! makes me sad that so many ppl dont know what real mexican food is cuz that shiiii is bomb lol. the culture & food is amazing! much love
Babish loves the Mexican chiles, too, and with good reason. I’m Salvadoran, but I’m not happy unless I have five or six types of dried Mexican chiles in my pantry. You can’t make good Mexican food without them.
Can we talk about how endearing and adorable it is that Josh still uses the OG enamel dutch oven? Like, he’ll flex for days on a $300 toaster but still brings out this extremely well-loved pot. Makes my heart happy.
@Katie Carpenter It will take years or bad upkeep for it to reach that stage. But my mom has one that ended up like that when food was burnt to the bottom. It took forever to clean away the messed up part and part of the lining came away because of it.
Dude…Joshua….DUDE….first of all I love the channel. Awesome stuff. I’ve never had birria tacos and got the itch ever since I saw your video. Today I gave them a try and my daughter loved them, my wife of 20 years said she wants to marry me all over again, and I’m about to pass out on the couch from a birria taco comma. Thanks for the recipe!!!
😂😂😂 bro can I ask your opinion on something. I've made these before and they were great. My only issue is my family doesnt like Spicy food therefore I cant make these often. Any ways to make this without the chiles???
@@stephenasunnamedsource2943 Árbol chiles are probably what's causing most of the heat. If you want you can just use guajillo chiles. They are not spicy. Though ancho chiles are close second in not being spicy. I would use a mix of those.
I made this last night I doubled the chuck as I couldn't get oxtail very easily locally. I also steeped the chilies in the broth and blended them with the onion garlic and tomato paste as this was braising while I went back to work after lunch. They turned out amazing and my 12 year old daughter who typically is pretty picky ate 4 tacos. I plan to double the recipe and make them for the next time we enertain.
When I make tacos for dinner I always say ruclips.net/video/voItIhqEiho/видео.html and then I make this noise ruclips.net/video/xde_1PJA7Do/видео.html that’s because tacos are ruclips.net/video/oKMAr9qlqZY/видео.html
My abuela did say that... Exact words "y este güero piensa que puede hacer birria mejor que yo, yo le enseño" Thanks man. I got birria today and it's abuela birria... I'm in heaven. By the way she said you did a great job, you will be invited to the next carne asada.
To make the Birria De Res: Remove the stems and seeds from the chilies. Dice the onion and slice the garlic. Season the all of the beef generously with salt. Add enough high heat oil to coat the bottom of a large pot. Heat over medium high until screaming hot. Sear your meat in batches for about 2 - 3 minutes on all sides until you get a nice beautiful deep brown crust. Discard any burned oil on the bottom, but reserve the fond in the pot. Add in a few tablespoons of fresh oil. Heat to medium. Sauté the diced onion just until it begins to soften. Add in the tomato paste and cook until it darkens and begins to stick to the pan. Add in the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add in the beef stock, dried chilies, and the seared beef. In a piece of cheesecloth, add the cinnamon stick, bay leaves, coriander and peppercorns. Tie tightly with twine. Add to the pot. Cover and braise for one hour, stirring occasionally. Fish out the chilies and place into a blender along with 2 cups of the pot liquid. Blend until smooth. Pour back into the stew. Continue to simmer for another 1 hour 30 minutes, or until tender. Remove the meat from the consommé. Discard any bones and shred to your meat to desired consistency. Season the consommé with salt as needed. To make the Quesatacos: Shred the cheese into little threads. Heat a skillet to medium. Dunk the corn torilla completely into the consommé, then lay into the skillet. Coat the tortilla generously with cheese, and cook just until the cheese is melted. Optionally, blowtorch the top of the cheese. On one side of the tortilla, add a generous helping of the shredded beef. Drizzle one spoonful of the consommé over the meat. Fold over the tortilla and let it cook for 1 to 3 minutes. Flip over and cook the other side. To serve: Fill a ramekin with consommé. Top with finely diced onion and cilantro. Dunk the taco into the consommé, then into your mouth. Enjoy being voluptuous, juicy, and packed full of meat.
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU Jeff Bannow for writing this out. I get SO frustrated when they give only the ingredients and no directions and no place to get the complete recipe. You are an angel. Again THANKYOU!!
@@djoscartjMexican restaurants always call them Birria de Res, quesa taco just doesn't make sense, they're two different things lol, it's like quesarito, it's not actually a quesadilla in it they just put cheese and an extra tortilla, quesa Birria is a quesadilla, done with goat meat and along with the consome, Birria de Res is the same thing but with tacos
Half lamb half beef is a great introduction to birria. I got my boyfriend and all his friends hooked on birria when they had never had it before I made them my homemade recipe. Unfortunately they like it too much now and ask me to make it almost overtime they come over to see us. Be careful who you serve birria to, you may end up doing it more often than you think you will. since the recipe was requested:
I just wanted to thank you for this recipe I made this today and it came out absolutely delicious! My husband raved about it. I couldn't find oxtail so I used beef neck bones and a beef shank. You were so right about the Oaxaca cheese it was amazing in the tacos. I made it with a side of macaroni salad. Thank you so so much! ❤️
As a Hispanic this is practically how we make it in my family the only difference is that instead of tomato paste we use chicken knorr & add in a couple more spices like onion/garlic powder, chives, thyme, & “Italian “ mix. This was a great video. Happy you used good cheese 😄 I use Oaxaca & Asadero
@@porte-majestuoso I’m not full fledged mexican. My pops is mix Chicano. My mom is from Barcelona. Hence I’m of Hispanic ethnicity. You’re ignorant though, not every Hispanic is Mexican anyways. Small minded.
I am impressed with how you compressed this into a short video with all the necessary info and had some fun along the way. This stuff is amazing and a favorite in my family in the middle of Nebraska.
We made these today and ohmygod. It takes a while but SO worth it. Absolutely mouthwateringly delicious. Papa’s recipes every weekend in our household! We’ve also made the Philly cheesesteak, burgers and bread etc. Papa’s recipes always fire
"Birria is typically served during celebrations" Me: Its Sunday, birria. Also me: It's Monday, birria. Me too: It's Tuesday, birria. Finally, me: I'm Mexican, birria.
I've made them before. So I do hope your dad makes them for you because they're genuinely an incredible experience to eat. Good luck with the pregnancy btw.
I sure would like to know about that stove behind him that is made in Italy and costs 7000.- to 10,000. Is it an ilve ? Double oven 40 " ? Beautiful !! Thank you, love your videos. Not boring and all drawn out like so many others. Your fantastic !!
If you're following this recipe, this is the shopping list: - dried chillies: ancho, guajillo and arbol - beef: 1lb boneless chuck, 1lb oxtail and 1lb short ribs - onion - garlic - tomato paste - fresh coriander/cilantro - (beef stock) - spices: black peppercorns, cinnamon, bay leaves and coriander seeds - tortillas - oaxaca cheese (or sub)
So I just got done making this, and it was really excellent. Some of my findings with this recipe. • Tortilla video doesn't exist, even 4 years later - Josh _has_ put the recipe in other videos, but no deep dive. • The written recipe requires oregano and marjoram - neither are added, don't waste your time or money. • remember to add the beef back to the consomme with the spice bag - Josh doesn't call it out. • Soak your chilles in water first. There are others online that experience the same thing as me, but putting the dried chilles in directly can lead to bitterness - I was lucky in that my consomme was not bitter, but the liquid I blended with the chilles became too bitter to add back to the consomme. Soaking the chilles separately would have allowed me to leech out the bitterness into some water rather than my beef stock. • you should use a bare simmer, the liquid should steam, but not move. • if you can't get oxtail and short rib - ask your butcher for some bones. The fat and collagen is what you need here along with the chuck. Maybe add some extra fat too if you can. • wear gloves for the chilles. • Low moisture mozzarella makes a decent substitute for oaxaca - it's hard to get that cheese, I'm not sure it is worth the extra effort. (The balls that come in liquid will not do, however). This recipe is a lot of work, especially if you make the tortillas. I would recommend making the tortillas on one day, the beef and consomme on another, and just do assembly before serving. I was in the kitchen for about 4 hours today, and now I'm just writing this to stave off having to stand up and do dishes 😅
It’s funny seeing this as a Mexican, cause the internet is blowing this up like it’s the newest and greatest thing ever we’ll it’s great but far from new. Still waiting on huevos rancheros to make its rounds, only seen one video that actually made them like my grandmother use to with a tostada and bean.
@@lukezifilippo363 I like the tostada with refríes beans and a over medium egg and ranchero salsa and dress with the queso fresco maybe some Avocado when I use to drink and get hung over
@@reallyfijateperocomocono1131 OF COURSE we go crazy because IT IS new to us! Mexican meals aren't something we all got to experience growing up and if you're a Mexican food fan like me you wish you did...
I actually made these the other day and I kept watching your video to make sure I had the steps right and they came out so unbelievably delicious! I’m Hispanic and live in LA near some bomb birria spots and these were really damn good. Definitely gonna be making them more.

He wake up... eat fancy platter of breakfast with the homemadiest of bread and broth infused meaty substances that’ll satisfy that thirst for a real greasy delicious American breakfast. By the time he finish clean, lunch will begin shortly. Shortly, he has finished extravagant fish filet wagyu mignon sandwiches. The famous Asian kind. After cleaning the already clean dishes, Joshua has free time. Perhaps he cooks a meal for his gf. Who know, maybe some Austin mountains hiking in search of rare berries you could get at the store, but of course fresh better. Or even grow them, maybe he’s growing them actually.
Made these tacos and when I first tasted the meat by itself it was subtle but tender then when I made it into a taco and dunked into the sauce, it was DELICIOSO!!! The flavor was just POPPING AND JUMPING in my mouth. It was so crispy and full of flavor! And most of all, it wasn't that hard. It was about 2 1/2 hours to simmer the meat. I just used chuck steak and it was tender and moist. Fills your house with warm, spicy aromas! Completely worth the time, money, and effort. Bon appetit!
I just made these with my friend and they are delicious 😋. I followed the recipe step by step. My first time trying birria, so I decided to make it myself and with a help of a friend they came out so good.
My wife is Mexican from Tijuana and there is a stand across from her dad's house that makes amazing beef birria tacos. Since we're not crossing the border these days due to Covid to get our taco fix, we tried out Joshua's birria method and I gotta say, the flavors are legit. Soaking the tortilla in the consomme and then heating it until crispy is making me drool right now just thinking about it. Good work Joshua, we thank you and we'll be making this again!
Strange that Joshua still didn't make a BEEF STOCK video, since he's using a beef stock in so many recipes (and stressing that we should make it ourselves). So please be kind to let us know how to make a good homemade beef stock
Beef stock isn't hard to make. Get a big pot, fill it with filtered water. Make a mirepoix (chopped carrot, celery, onions,) dump that into the pot, get a bunch of beef bones, dump that in, and simmer for anywhere from 5 to 12 hours, depending on how large the pot is. Strain, and save the liquid. Easy! Not quick, but it is easy.
I don't think he ever actually said when to add the meat back into the stew. Although I assume you're supposed to do it at the same time as adding in the beef stock. The beef just magically shows up back in the pot around 2:55.
This is also right after he said tie the cheesecloth with cheesecloth while he actually used butcher twine. When the spice sachet drops in you can see the meat there.
I am pretty sure you put the mean in right when you throw in the stew. That way the meat cooks the entire time to are brewing the conzome. If you just put it in for the last hour it won’t be as soft and shreddable... hope it helps 🤷♀️
I'm from Scotland where we either batter and deep fry or throw it all in a pot but Mexican food is my absolute favourite it gives me the strength to chase haggis lol
I made these this weekend and was told by friends and family that they were the best tacos they’d ever had. I even messed up and used a too small pan as well the first time 😂 Thanks Josh! Definitely a fan 🙌🏿
@@netclos sí me gusta más la tradicional, pero sí siento que para tacos res es mejor. Ya con el queso, el consomé y la tortilla frita, no va a saber tan diferente
So I am passively familiar with Mexican food. The normal stuff, you know? Burritos, enchiladas, tacos ect... Well, yesterday a Mexican friend invited me to eat with her at a local taco truck. Instead of just ordering whatever looked good or that I was familiar with I asked her what she thought I should order. She suggested the Quesa Birria. This is my absolute new favorite food! BLEW MY MIND! And I just HAD to learn to make it at home. So thanks for this!
@@mehoymenoy8841 It's not just white people who have been missing out. Good Mexican restaurants become more and more scarce the further you live from the southern border. Luckily there's been more and more entrepeneurs leaving their home town and opening restaurants in states that have never tasted things like ceviche, birria, tacos al pastor, etc.
@@LauncherSpiderMk7 Agreed, and I think if you own a restaurant, you will be more likely to put items on the menu that are familiar to your customer base as opposed to doing really authentic dishes that might intimidate the average customer.
@@LauncherSpiderMk7 My mom made tinga this morning and i felt absolutely blessed, so many hidden food treasures that la cultura Mexicana has to offer 😭😩
Joshua I made these tonight according to your recipe and they were amazing. I’ve been watching your videos for a while and have done a few of your recipes. Keep the recipes coming!
The fleeting shot of Josh screaming inside the pot causes me to laugh uncontrollably. Like absolutely genius. That moment is so perfect. Could watch it 100 times.
Tbh I’m just happy he cares about real mexican food culture ✨ (and every other food culture, for that matter) not like, tex-mex and shiizzz. He’s respectful and I appreciate it a lot🥲

@@bubba8751 they were fantastic, though I took a bit from babish and cooled everything, then skimmed the fat off. Not so greasy that way, but EITHER way, they taste amazing.
OMG - this was amazing!!! Made this with my 15 year old and it turned out GREAT! I was worried it would be too spicy (I'm a whimp) but it was perfect! Thank you!
Thank you for acknowledging it is not authentic but pretty close while making it low effort because this recipe definitely makes it doable for those who don’t want to slow cook or buy things that they really wont use for other recipes like banana leafs while having a quality Birria cause this made my mouth watered the consume looked rich the cheese is perfection and you definitely got the memo on having the tortilla get crispy even though is getting dunked lol
My friend just made these and OMG I’ve never tasted something like that. The tacos were insanely good!!! I topped it off with a little bit of guacamole and it was perfect. Thank you Joshua for this amazing recipe! 😍
@@mariaj.romero996This is a heavy fatty dish, the last thing it needs is guac since guac is naturally fatty from the Avocados. (Think about it, it's like if butter were a fruit. Also you can buy avocado oil!!!) This dish is screaming for raw onions n cilan!
Just made these for my first anniversary. Not a single recipe you've posted has disappointed either mine or her tastebuds. Thank you very much and keep slaying the kitchen ❤❤
@@op6629 we ended up with like 12 before I ran out of the Oaxaca and fridged the rest of the meat. You'll only get like 8-9 tortillas with that signature deep red coat for the tacos but even then its still worth it. Just get more cheese than you think you need and you'll be fine
The only “white” thing you did to the recipe was the cheese cloth trick, using pre-made beef stock, and browning the meat before braising it. That last part is an improvement in my book. I’ll have to try it.
3 IMPROVEMENTS BASED OFF EXPERIMENTS. So out of all the Birria recipes on RUclips for my initial experiments, I chose Joshua's based on the fact that he was one of the few to insist on the IMPORTANCE of browning the meat before simmering and also using fresh made Beef Stock as the simmering liquid. In my opinion, anyone who chooses to use water in situations where stock could be used instead is not serious about maximizing flavor......I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to these cooks that its laziness and not ignorance. OK....this recipe of Joshua is probably the best overall compromise between time efficiency and maximum flavor....and so my improvements only really bump this up from 85% perfection to say 95%....but frankly its sooo worth it. #1. When blending the dried chili pepper mix after steeping in hot water....add in 3 or 4 roasted jalopeno peppers that you put under the oven broiler until lightly charred....remove seeds before blending. This really adds to the complexity of the pepper profile and also adds that missing element of fresh pepper. #2 Instead of the tomato paste, add 4 vine ripe plum tomatoes to the blender with the jalopeno peppers....also char them under the broiler and remove seeds. #3 You can get a huge bump in flavor by adding a bunch fresh Thyme and a smaller amount of fresh oregano about an hour before you are done cooking....I don't like to add fresh herbs too early as they are easily overcooked. When I added these herbs, the improvement was instant and beyond obvious. Try it yourself.
Also make the stock with beef bones, charring the dried chilies and spices till fragrant, and adding some Worcestershire sauce or Maggie all helps a lot.
I was on vacation in Florida once and got birria tacos and they were so life-changing for a brief moment I considered moving to Florida purely for those tacos.
I'm mexican and I really like when someone from another contry takes the time to investigate about our culture and actually makes a proper mexican dish, that looks amazing!

@@danielaelizabethramirezmad5060 true
as someone who was born & raised in san diego, its such a norm for me!! makes me sad that so many ppl dont know what real mexican food is cuz that shiiii is bomb lol. the culture & food is amazing! much love

Babish loves the Mexican chiles, too, and with good reason. I’m Salvadoran, but I’m not happy unless I have five or six types of dried Mexican chiles in my pantry. You can’t make good Mexican food without them.
Can we talk about how endearing and adorable it is that Josh still uses the OG enamel dutch oven? Like, he’ll flex for days on a $300 toaster but still brings out this extremely well-loved pot. Makes my heart happy.
I can’t bring myself to get rid of it. I’ve been through so much with that pot. Was my first cookware purchase ever living on my own.
@@JoshuaWeissman Ohana means family, and family means no pot gets left behind!!
@@JoshuaWeissman I was wondering what happened to the inner bottom of the pot. Is that what happens to long use?
@Katie Carpenter It will take years or bad upkeep for it to reach that stage. But my mom has one that ended up like that when food was burnt to the bottom. It took forever to clean away the messed up part and part of the lining came away because of it.
that's still a 400 dollar pot

@@stephenasunnamedsource2943 Árbol chiles are probably what's causing most of the heat. If you want you can just use guajillo chiles. They are not spicy. Though ancho chiles are close second in not being spicy. I would use a mix of those.

I made this last night I doubled the chuck as I couldn't get oxtail very easily locally. I also steeped the chilies in the broth and blended them with the onion garlic and tomato paste as this was braising while I went back to work after lunch.

To make the Birria De Res:
Remove the stems and seeds from the chilies.
Dice the onion and slice the garlic.
Season the all of the beef generously with salt.
Add enough high heat oil to coat the bottom of a large pot. Heat over medium high until screaming hot.
Sear your meat in batches for about 2 - 3 minutes on all sides until you get a nice beautiful deep brown crust.
Discard any burned oil on the bottom, but reserve the fond in the pot.
Add in a few tablespoons of fresh oil. Heat to medium.
Sauté the diced onion just until it begins to soften.
Add in the tomato paste and cook until it darkens and begins to stick to the pan.
Add in the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add in the beef stock, dried chilies, and the seared beef.
In a piece of cheesecloth, add the cinnamon stick, bay leaves, coriander and peppercorns. Tie tightly with twine. Add to the pot.
Cover and braise for one hour, stirring occasionally.
Fish out the chilies and place into a blender along with 2 cups of the pot liquid. Blend until smooth. Pour back into the stew.
Continue to simmer for another 1 hour 30 minutes, or until tender.
Remove the meat from the consommé. Discard any bones and shred to your meat to desired consistency.
Season the consommé with salt as needed.
To make the Quesatacos:
Shred the cheese into little threads.
Heat a skillet to medium.
Dunk the corn torilla completely into the consommé, then lay into the skillet.
Coat the tortilla generously with cheese, and cook just until the cheese is melted. Optionally, blowtorch the top of the cheese.
On one side of the tortilla, add a generous helping of the shredded beef. Drizzle one spoonful of the consommé over the meat.
Fold over the tortilla and let it cook for 1 to 3 minutes. Flip over and cook the other side.
To serve:
Fill a ramekin with consommé. Top with finely diced onion and cilantro.
Dunk the taco into the consommé, then into your mouth.
Enjoy being voluptuous, juicy, and packed full of meat.
Aaaay, Ese...you forgot to add in the 2T of oregano from the receta.

Half lamb half beef is a great introduction to birria. I got my boyfriend and all his friends hooked on birria when they had never had it before I made them my homemade recipe. Unfortunately they like it too much now and ask me to make it almost overtime they come over to see us. Be careful who you serve birria to, you may end up doing it more often than you think you will.
since the recipe was requested:
share your recipe! Please
That’s a good idea. My mom never made it from lamb for us and we were born and raised in GDL.

Birria is sold like a block from my house so IDK about celebratory... unless living all the way through lunch is cause for celebration.
Every second of life deserves a celebration :)
Cheesy enough for ya?
If you eat Birria regularly it is, which in that case you should celebrate by eating more Birria.
You can buy birria whenever you want (we even use it to cure hangover) but it has to be a special ocassion in order to actually make it
Depends on the day
Try not being able to get this and craving it all day every day. Every day would be a celebration if I could get these tacos a block away lol
So I just got done making this, and it was really excellent. Some of my findings with this recipe.
• Tortilla video doesn't exist, even 4 years later - Josh _has_ put the recipe in other videos, but no deep dive.
• The written recipe requires oregano and marjoram - neither are added, don't waste your time or money.
• remember to add the beef back to the consomme with the spice bag - Josh doesn't call it out.
• Soak your chilles in water first. There are others online that experience the same thing as me, but putting the dried chilles in directly can lead to bitterness - I was lucky in that my consomme was not bitter, but the liquid I blended with the chilles became too bitter to add back to the consomme. Soaking the chilles separately would have allowed me to leech out the bitterness into some water rather than my beef stock.
• you should use a bare simmer, the liquid should steam, but not move.
• if you can't get oxtail and short rib - ask your butcher for some bones. The fat and collagen is what you need here along with the chuck. Maybe add some extra fat too if you can.
• wear gloves for the chilles.
• Low moisture mozzarella makes a decent substitute for oaxaca - it's hard to get that cheese, I'm not sure it is worth the extra effort. (The balls that come in liquid will not do, however).
This recipe is a lot of work, especially if you make the tortillas.
I would recommend making the tortillas on one day, the beef and consomme on another, and just do assembly before serving. I was in the kitchen for about 4 hours today, and now I'm just writing this to stave off having to stand up and do dishes 😅
As someone from Jalisco, you sure made me proud!! Birria and quesatacos for the win! Thanks for highlighting this Mexican deliciousness! ¡Ajua!

Made these tacos and when I first tasted the meat by itself it was subtle but tender then when I made it into a taco and dunked into the sauce, it was DELICIOSO!!! The flavor was just POPPING AND JUMPING in my mouth. It was so crispy and full of flavor! And most of all, it wasn't that hard. It was about 2 1/2 hours to simmer the meat. I just used chuck steak and it was tender and moist. Fills your house with warm, spicy aromas! Completely worth the time, money, and effort. Bon appetit!
Awe, my husband and I had this served for our wedding reception...I think I will make this for him for our anniversary 💕
I just made these with my friend and they are delicious 😋.
I followed the recipe step by step.
My first time trying birria, so I decided to make it myself and with a help of a friend they came out so good.
My wife is Mexican from Tijuana and there is a stand across from her dad's house that makes amazing beef birria tacos. Since we're not crossing the border these days due to Covid to get our taco fix, we tried out Joshua's birria method and I gotta say, the flavors are legit. Soaking the tortilla in the consomme and then heating it until crispy is making me drool right now just thinking about it. Good work Joshua, we thank you and we'll be making this again!
I made it today . Absolutely my favorite Mexican tacos I’ve ever had. Thank you so much . It’s a keeper!
Strange that Joshua still didn't make a BEEF STOCK video, since he's using a beef stock in so many recipes (and stressing that we should make it ourselves). So please be kind to let us know how to make a good homemade beef stock
Beef stock isn't hard to make. Get a big pot, fill it with filtered water. Make a mirepoix (chopped carrot, celery, onions,) dump that into the pot, get a bunch of beef bones, dump that in, and simmer for anywhere from 5 to 12 hours, depending on how large the pot is. Strain, and save the liquid.
Easy! Not quick, but it is easy.
Inpatient man way: pack of beef bullion 😂
I don't think he ever actually said when to add the meat back into the stew. Although I assume you're supposed to do it at the same time as adding in the beef stock. The beef just magically shows up back in the pot around 2:55.
skyseeker901 I WAS THINKING THE SAME. Im assuming when you put the chilies in? The world may never know
Came here to say this.
He doesn't, I went back and he did put it in with the chilis he just didn't say..lol..oops
This is also right after he said tie the cheesecloth with cheesecloth while he actually used butcher twine. When the spice sachet drops in you can see the meat there.
I am pretty sure you put the mean in right when you throw in the stew. That way the meat cooks the entire time to are brewing the conzome. If you just put it in for the last hour it won’t be as soft and shreddable... hope it helps 🤷♀️
I just made these and I’m in shock.... I’ve never had something so beautiful. So perfect. So..... amazing 🥲

Just get more cheese than you think you need and you'll be fine
The only “white” thing you did to the recipe was the cheese cloth trick, using pre-made beef stock, and browning the meat before braising it. That last part is an improvement in my book. I’ll have to try it.
I think he said the stock was made at home
he made his beef stock
@@thorn5937 but it was still premade lol
@@daebarton6123 he still made his beef stock
@@daebarton6123 do you think beef stock just appears out of nowhere? 😂
3 IMPROVEMENTS BASED OFF EXPERIMENTS. So out of all the Birria recipes on RUclips for my initial experiments, I chose Joshua's based on the fact that he was one of the few to insist on the IMPORTANCE of browning the meat before simmering and also using fresh made Beef Stock as the simmering liquid. In my opinion, anyone who chooses to use water in situations where stock could be used instead is not serious about maximizing flavor......I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to these cooks that its laziness and not ignorance. OK....this recipe of Joshua is probably the best overall compromise between time efficiency and maximum flavor....and so my improvements only really bump this up from 85% perfection to say 95%....but frankly its sooo worth it.

When blending the dried chili pepper mix after steeping in hot water....add in 3 or 4 roasted jalopeno peppers that you put under the oven broiler until lightly charred....remove seeds before blending. This really adds to the complexity of the pepper profile and also adds that missing element of fresh pepper.
#2 Instead of the tomato paste, add 4 vine ripe plum tomatoes to the blender with the jalopeno peppers....also char them under the broiler and remove seeds.
#3 You can get a huge bump in flavor by adding a bunch fresh Thyme and a smaller amount of fresh oregano about an hour before you are done cooking....I don't like to add fresh herbs too early as they are easily overcooked. When I added these herbs, the improvement was instant and beyond obvious. Try it yourself.
Good tips ty.
Also make the stock with beef bones, charring the dried chilies and spices till fragrant, and adding some Worcestershire sauce or Maggie all helps a lot.
As a pregnant lady, this is the sexiest video i’ve ever watched.

Gross, hope you found a cure.
All these years of making birria and I’ve never thought to use cheese cloth to make a lil tea bag for the spices!!! Well done.
Joshua! I’m at the stage where you blend the chilies and omg the aroma, the color, the consistency is gorgeous! Can’t wait to devour these babies.
I’m making this right now!
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
How did it come out
Same! Its simmering now, already smells delicious! Really cool to work with chilis that i haven't worked with before, they smell fantastic
Tomorrow for me!
Prove it
I was on vacation in Florida once and got birria tacos and they were so life-changing for a brief moment I considered moving to Florida purely for those tacos.
Just made this today. Never had any more experience with Mexican food except posole and it was so good!!
