These Birria Tacos might just be the most flavorful tacos I’ve ever made at the Hussy House. We’re talking slow-cooked, tender beef shredded down and dipped into rich, savory birria consommé. Then, we griddle them until crispy with melty cheese and fold them into tacos that absolutely slap. Crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and dunked straight into that broth… yeah, these are dangerously good groceries. In this video, I walk you through how to make authentic-style birria tacos on...
