Step 1

Make the Birria Recipe: All the details you need to make the best birria are given in this dedicated post.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

Step 3

Heat a large cast iron skillet or non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Place reserved grease (see Notes below) from birria in a medium bowl.

Step 5

Working in batches, dip one side of 2-3 tortillas in the grease and place in skillet in a single layer.

Step 6

Spread about a ¼ cup of cheese all over tortillas with some cheese hanging over to get crispy edges. Then place about ¼ cup of the shredded meat onto one side of the tortilla along with a bit of onion, green onion and cilantro. Fold the other side of the tortilla over.

Step 7

Cook the tacos until crispy and the cheese is fully melted, about 3 minutes per side.

Step 8

Transfer cooked tacos to a baking sheet to keep warm in preheated oven.

Step 9

Serve tacos with a small bowl of the birria consommé as a dipping sauce on the side along with lime wedges and extra cilantro. Enjoy!
