For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the consommé. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Queso Oaxaca or a blend of Monterey Jack and cheddar would also work well. Adjust the amount of beef fat used based on your preference. More fat will result in crispier tacos, while less fat will make them slightly healthier.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGather all of your ingredients for a smooth cooking experience.
02
StepTo make the consommé: In a saucepan over high heat, combine the reserved beef birria sauce, chicken broth, diced carrots, diced celery, and diced cabbage. (5 minutes)
03
StepBring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow it to simmer gently, occasionally scraping the flavorful caramelized bits (fond) from the side of the pan with the hot liquid. Continue simmering until the vegetables are tender and the consommé reaches your desired consistency. (20 minutes)
04
StepReduce the heat to low to keep the consommé warm while you prepare the tacos.
05
StepTo make the tacos: Heat some reserved beef fat in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
06
StepDip two tortillas into the melted beef fat, ensuring they are generously coated on both sides. Briefly toast the tortillas in the fat until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
07
StepCover each tortilla with a generous amount of freshly grated Monterey Jack cheese and shredded beef birria.
08
StepDrizzle each taco with approximately 1 tablespoon of the flavorful consommé liquid. Top with chopped white onion and fresh cilantro.
09
StepCarefully fold the tacos in half and gently press down on them.
10
StepContinue to cook the tacos, flipping them back and forth, until they are beautifully browned and crispy. (2-3 minutes)
11
StepTransfer the finished tacos to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, adding more beef fat to the skillet as needed.
12
StepLadle the warm consommé into individual bowls and garnish with any remaining white onion and cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime wedges into the consommé to brighten the flavors.
13
StepServe immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
