GETTING STARTED
Boil the kettle. In a bowl, add the beef, a drizzle of oil and the birria spice blend. Mix until the beef is fully coated in the spice and set aside to marinate. Dilute the stock in 250ml of boiling water.
SIMMERING BIRRIA
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the marinated stroganoff and fry for 1-2 minutes, shifting occasionally, until browned. Add in the tomato paste, the chipotle in adobo and the diluted stock. Mix until fully combined and leave to simmer for 8-10 minutes until slightly reduced and thickened. On completion, remove from the heat, remove the beef and onions from the sauce and set aside. Place the remaining sauce in a bowl and set aside.
ZESTY SALSA
In a bowl, add the diced onion, diced tomatoes, some lime zest, ½ the chopped coriander, a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Mix until fully combined.
TERRIFIC TORTILLAS
Place a clean pan with a lid over a medium heat. When hot, dry toast the tortillas for 30-60 seconds on one side until heated and lightly crisped. Flip and top each tortilla with the grated cheese. Cover with the lid and leave for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted. Remove the lid and top the cheesy tortillas with the beef and onion. Fold the tortillas in half and remove from the pan on completion.
