Instructions

    1.
    Make the beef for the Birria either early on the day you want to make tacos or make the night before. Rub a whole piece of chuck roast down with the olive oil. Use your fingers to rub the oil into the meat and tenderize it. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the exposed side of the chuck roast. Heat a pan over high heat on your stove. Once the pan is hot, place the roast in the pan and seer on all sides.

    3.
    Pour all the contents of the pot, including the water, to a food processor or blender. Add peeled whole garlic, paprika, cumin, and oregano to the food processor and pulse the ingredients until you have a fully blended liquid. Pour the spicy liquid into the Crock Pot over the beef. Pour in the beef broth. Add 2 whole bay leaves and 1 whole cinnamon stick to the Crock Pot (not listed in ingredients).
    4.
    Cook the Crock Pot on low heat for 8 hours. For quicker cooking, you can also cook on high heat for 4 hours, but do not expect your beef to be as tender. Once done, discard the bay leaves and cinnamon stick, and use a pair of forks to shred the beef into thin shreds. The finer you shred the beef, the easier it will be to use later in the recipe. If you are making your tacos directly after, you can leave the Birria warm in your Crock Pot. If you are making your tacos the next day, store the Birria in a large container in your refrigerator.

    Once the entire cheese circle has turned into a tough, dark orange tortilla tortilla as you push the center down between the muffin tins to create a tortilla shape. The cheese will quickly harden in place as you hold the edges in place. Repeat Steps 5-6 until you made all your hard tortilla shells.
    7.
    Once the taco shells are fully cooled, stuff each shell with about 2 oz of shredded beef. If any leftover shredded beef remains in the Birria, you can leave it. Serve a ½ cup of spicy Birria consomé (with any extra shredded beef) with 2 filled tacos. Add tons of chopped cilantro on top of your tacos. At your discretion, you may include any additional taco toppings you enjoy. Dip your tacos in the hot Birria to soften the cheese tortillas, and drink any remaining Birria as a soup.
