They’re colorful, crunchy, messy and easy— Instant Pot Birria Tacos are the best taco you’ll ever taste. And guess what? You can make it in an Instant Pot in just 45 minutes. What is Birria Taco sauce made of? This deliciously spiced taco sauce is made with Ancho chiles, yellow onions, beef stock carrots, tomato paste, oregano and cumin.
Prepare the birria consomé but do not add the chopped meat back to the strained liquid in the pot. Making 1 taco at a time, lightly dip two corn tortillas into the top part of the consomé liquid and place on top of each other in a cast-iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
Taste birria and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt (for reference: we added roughly 4 – 6 large pinches of salt). The Instant Pot Birria is epic with freshly grated melting cheese such as Oaxaca cheese or Mozzarella cheese. Place some of the deliciously flavorful birria sauce in a ramekin.
Versatile: We love make Birria tacos, Quesabirria, or Quesatacos (tacos with or without cheese) the most, but you could also serve the broth and meat as a stew, called Beef Birria. Make Ahead and Freezer Friendly: I like to make a big batch and freeze the leftovers so we can enjoy them anytime!
