This is as authentic as it can get Sonoran Birria we make it like this all the time especially for family gatherings this is the best  the only thing we do different in our family is use chuck roast  beef I don't know how people can be so cruel and rate this recipe  thinking that their way is always the right way (people) be more open mind this is Sonoran style LOVED THIS RECIPE thanks for posting:)

Very delicious,  very easy to prepare,  I used only California chilies,  my tip is to let mixture marinade overnight with the meat,  I used chuck roast beef, if you do that your Birria will be full of flavor, for the mixed spices I used black pepper, ground cumin, dry oregano, ground ginger and a little piece of cinnamon .

My family loved this! I needed a dinner I could prepare in the morning and then let it cook itself, so I did it in a crock pot on high for 5 hours. I used a chuck roast instead of stew meat. I sprinkled kosher salt on the roast and let it rest while I prepared the chilis. I used 5 pasilla, 5 guajillo, and 2 arbol which gave it good flavor while keeping it mild enough for my kids. I also added 4 cloves of garlic along with the onion and then salt to taste. Probably about a tablespoon, plus what was already sprinkled on the meat. It was plenty salty and next time I will use less. For spices, I followed other review recommendations and did a tsp of each cumin, pepper, Mexican oregano. Plus a tiny pinch of cinnamon. Hubby says clove is also common but easy to overdo; I didn’t use any this time.  Served on warm corn tortillas with chopped onion and cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Some sliced radishes along side.  Will make this again! All 6 family members enjoyed, even the picky ones!

This is my second time making this. First time was too much salt.  When I boiled peppers I used beef broth instead of water and added a half a onion a couple cloves of garlic. For seasoning I added 1 tsp cumin, pepper, and oregano, and added 2 tsp of salt..... came out perfect!!!

I made this recipe as written. It has way too much salt. 1/4 cup of salt is way more than necessary and all we could taste was salt. As a result we didn't even save the leftovers. I may try it again with only 1 tablespoon of salt. Perhaps then I'll be able to taste the actual flavors of the dish.

Recommend beef or goat... or lamb shanks.  DO NOT USE 1/4 CUP SALT... use 1 tablespoon.  Been using the sauce as a marinade, dip and BBQ sauce.... especially as a BBQ sauce.

Made it with the exact same ingredients except i used 1/8 cup of salt instead of 1/4 i felt that it was a bit much salt also I used 2 tablespoons from a mixed spiced package a bit of cumin and a small amount from a cinnamon stick as well as oregano. It was really test to taste which came out awesome! This seemed like the only good recipe i could find online.
