Description
Flavorful, meaty and filling, these cheesy birria tacos are finger-lickin’ good and I know you’ll be asking for seconds and thirds! Perfect for celebrating Cinco de Mayo or Taco Tuesdays!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 corn tortillas
- 3 tablespoons oil, for frying
- 1 cup birria sauce
- 2 cups birria beef
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 tablespoons diced onions
Instructions
- Brush Tortillas with Sauce: Brush both sides of the corn tortilla with birria sauce.
- Heat Tortilla and Top with Fillings: Heat oil in a skillet and lay out the corn tortilla. You can add extra sauce. Place half a cup (or slightly less) of birria beef on one half of the tortilla. Place shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 tablespoons) on the other half of the tortilla. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and onion.
- Fold Tortilla: Carefully place the cheese tortilla half over the beef half. Cook for another minute.
- Flip Tacos: Flip the birria tacos to the other side and fry for another minute.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve birria tacos with extra sauce, as well as diced onions and cilantro.
Notes
Tortillas: I used yellow corn tortillas, but white corn tortillas will work too (learn how to make your own homemade corn tortillas)!
Birria Beef & Sauce: Here’s how to make the birria beef and sauce.
Cheese: I used shredded mozzarella cheese, but you can use any other type of melty cheese that you enjoy. If you are lactose-intolerant, go ahead and use dairy-free mozzarella cheese instead.
Toppings: I recommend using diced onions and fresh chopped cilantro for topping (but go ahead and swap out the cilantro for parsley, spring onions or chives)!
