Prep Time 20 minutes
Course Beef, Main Course
Cuisine Mexican
Servings 16 tacos

Ingredients
  

  • 1 batch Birria See links below, in "Instructions", to Oven Birria and Crock Pot Birria. Pick the recipe that suits you.
  • 16 soft 6" corn tortillas
  • 1 unit white onion chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro chopped
  • olive oil
  • lime wedges optional

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Birria as per the instructions of the recipe of choice. Here are the links for Oven Birria and Crock Pot Birria. The recipes should be soupy and there should be plenty of adobo (sauce) to dip the tortillas.
  • Using a slotted spoon, take the meat out of the sauce and shred it using two forks. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of adobo to the meat so that it is moist.
  • Over medium heat, add some olive oil to a large, heavy skillet. Once it is hot, using tongs dip two tortillas separately in the adobo, coating both sides and then place them flat on the skillet until thoroughly warm and pliable. Spoon portions of meat on each tortilla and fold into a half moon, crisping up each side of the semi-circles until brown (1 - 2 minutes). Assemble all your tacos and keep them warm as you work.
  • Serve warm. Garnish each taco with chopped onion and cilantro. If you like lime, sprinkle your tacos with some lime juice. You can also dip your tacos in the adobo sauce before you eat them.
