BIRRIA TACOS | Rick Bayless Taco Manual

Birria has been having a moment for some time now, especially birria tacos with melted cheese, the ones called quesabirria. I have nothing against them, though I think they’ve started to eclipse the essentially perfect taco de birria, slightly obscuring that perfection with cheese. Those words, I know, are fighting words for some of you. So don’t get me wrong: I love melted cheese-I do! It’s just that sometimes birria wants to do a one man show-juicy-tender goat or lamb braised with red chile, browned a little, wrapped in a tortilla that’s rubbed with chile-infused fat and allowed to crisp a little on the griddle. The taco gets a splash of the braising juices, some onions and cilantro, maybe a little spicy arbol salsa. One bite of a perfectly made taco de birria and you’ve reached taco nirvana.

    This was such a traditional dish in my family. I had the task of peeling loads of garlic. The marinade had guajillo, vinegar, ginger, sesame seeds, marjoram, cumin, all spice, salt and a beer. Usually it was made with a really young goat or 2 becceritos Or lamb. The meat was marinated for 24 hrs and then steamed not boiled. The water that was used for steaming became the most delicious consomé broth.
