Beef Birria Queso Tacos with Consom?

Beef Birria Queso Tacos with Consom?

This is my take on what is currently the world’s most trendy taco recipe. Seriously, it’s blowing up everywhere and when you make these you’re going to understand what all the fuss is about. Start with a batch of my Beef Birria and then combine this super savory, aromatic consom? with amazing beef and cheese tacos to take it up to another level.

Ingredients

For the Consom?

  • 2 cups reserved sauce from Beef Birria recipe
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup diced carrots
  • ¼ cup diced celery
  • ½ cup diced cabbage
  • For the Tacos:
  • 2 cups shredded Beef Birria
  • 3 tablespoons reserved beef fat from Beef Birria recipe, or more as needed
  • 8 (5 inch) corn tortillas
  • 2 cups freshly grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 tablespoons chopped white onion, or to taste
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
  • 1 medium lime, cut into 4 wedges

Directions

Step 1
Stir reserved beef birria sauce, chicken broth, carrots, celery, and cabbage together in a saucepan over high heat; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, occasionally brushing the caramelized bits (side fond) off the side with the hot liquid, until vegetables are nice and tender and consom? has reached desired consistency, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to low and keep hot while you prepare the tacos.

Step 2
Heat some reserved beef fat in a large skillet over medium heat until melted. Add 2 tortillas and toss with a spatula until generously coated in fat. Toast briefly until golden brown, then cover with Monterey Jack cheese and some shredded beef. Drizzle each taco with about 1 tablespoon consom? liquid, then top with white onion and cilantro.

Step 3
Fold tacos in half and press gently. Continue to cook, flipping back and forth, until browned and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat to make remaining tacos, adding more fat if necessary.

Step 4
Ladle consom? into a bowl and garnish with remaining white onions and cilantro. Squeeze lime wedges into consom? and serve with tacos.
