Description

QuesaBirria Tacos are an iconic Disney food that makes a perfect lunch or dinner.

Ingredients
    Ingredients
  • 3 lb chuck filet
  • 1 birria bomb
  • 4 cups water
  • 8 oz shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 12 corn tortillas
Instructions
  1. Cut the beef chuck roast into smaller chunks and place them into the slow cooker. Drop in the birria bomb and pour in the water.

  2. Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easy to shred. Alternatively, you can set it to high for 4-5 hours for a faster cook. As the beef cooks, the birria bomb will dissolve and infuse the meat with rich flavors.

  3. Once the beef is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Reserve the broth (consommé) for dipping.

  4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly dip each corn tortilla in the reserved consommé, then place it on the skillet.

  5. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on half of the tortilla, followed by a portion of the shredded birria. Fold the tortilla over to form a taco.

  6. Cook each taco for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.

  7. Serve the tacos hot with a side of consommé for dipping, and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Dunk each taco into the broth before every bite for that signature Quesabirria taco experience ♨ and enjoy!
