Alle Stappen
- 1
In a small saucepan, gently heat the birria consomé over low heat, ensuring it is warm for dipping. In a separate pan, warm the shredded birria meat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Season the birria meat lightly with salt and pepper if needed.
- 2
Prepare your toppings: finely dice the white onion, chop the fresh cilantro, and cut the lime into wedges.
- 3
Heat a large griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, spreading it evenly.
- 4
Dip one corn tortilla into the warm birria consomé, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly saturated. Place the dipped tortilla onto the hot griddle.
- 5
Quickly sprinkle about 1 ounce of shredded Monterey Jack cheese onto half of the tortilla. Immediately add a generous spoonful of the warmed birria meat on top of the cheese.
- 6
Once the cheese starts to melt and the tortilla begins to crisp on one side (about 1-2 minutes), fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to form a taco. Press down gently with a spatula.
- 7
Cook the taco for another 1-2 minutes per side, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted and slightly caramelized.
- 8
Remove the cooked taco from the griddle and set aside. Repeat steps 4-7 with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and birria meat.
- 9
Serve the birria tacos immediately with the warm consomé in small bowls for dipping. Garnish with the diced white onion, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
