The Taco Story – BTS of Birria Tacos

What are birria tacos? In recent years, ‘birria quesatacos‘ have gained popularity in the US. From food trucks and pop-up restaurants to established chains, everyone’s offering their unique twists of the classic dish. Birria tacos are often served in a corn taco shell, with tender beef, melted cheese, cilantro, onions, and a side of consommé, or broth, for dipping. Talk about the perfect comfort food for all times!

Did you know that food lovers have launched a Change.com petition to feature the famous snack on the Chipotle menu? Also, foodies have taken to TikTok to publish dedicated ‘hacks’ that tell you how to get Chipotle to make the infamous birria tacos for you! 

Crazy about tacos? Sign me up! Our turkey birria recipe uses the thighs. Before we start, here’s a simple guide on breaking down turkey at home. You also need to grab fresh turkey as your birria needs perfect, tender meat that falls apart on the touch. I usually order mine online from Sweet Stuff. 

Pro Tip: Remove the membrane from the chipotle, red ancho, and guajillo chilis if you’re spice-averse like me! 

Buen provecho!
