Easy CROCKPOT BIRRIA Makes the Best BIRRIA TACOS Recipe!



Mexican birria de res from the heart of Jalisco is a hearty slow-cooked stew with the utmost flavor and juicy, fall-apart tender beef. You can serve it in a bowl with fresh toppings like onion, cilantro, and lime juice, or go the extra step to make cheesy birria tacos (quesabirria).

There’s no one exact way to make birria, and you’ll find many versions online. It was originally made with goat meat (birria de chivo), but now, different regions of Mexico have put their own spin on this classic dish with beef as the preferred meat. This slow cooker or Crockpot birria recipe I’m sharing today stems from all the delicious experiences I’ve had with it — from local taco stands in Mexico to authentic, home-cooked versions. And I can’t wait for you to try it!

  1. As soon as I saw the tittle I knew it was gonna be a must have recipe. As a Mexican I’m embarrassed to say I have never made birria because of the hassle, and also how easy is to find it in taquerias- even though is not always as good as homemade. However, as usual, I am so excited to try this, you always manage to excel my expectations, always keeping the authenticity of recipes, but making easier and delicious. Thank you!

  2. Thank you so much for sharing this great and unique recipe. It's very delicious very tasty. Your all recipes are unique and fantastic..Weldone ❤🧡💕👍.Your all talents and cooking/baking skills are outstanding. You are a wonderful innocent cute God's given very special very pretty very talented very beautiful gorgeous woman with a very impressive voice, stunning smile and mesmerising personality. May God bless you with the best because you are the bestst among all the best, Stay blessed 🎉😊😊❤🧡

  3. You must be doing something right Lisa; my mouth was watering as I was watching this. I first discovered Birria about a year ago when I stopped at a food truck in Salinas, CA, then took it to a nearby park to eat it as the sun was going down. Obviously, it made an impression on me!

  4. I like your easy recipe for beef birria. It’s very similar to mine, except that I use whole spices that I toast and grind. I also use beer along with the beef broth. The main difference, though, is that I use chuck, ox tail bones and short ribs, instead of only chuck. I will be using your recipe if I ever need a shortcut or don’t have all the ingredients. Thank you!!

  5. What would be a difference to you from using a crackpot versus a regular stock pot? I have always made it on a big pot for several hours on low but i wonder if i should but a crackpot for stews like that😅🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

  6. Birria is made with goat and when you use beef it's called barbacoa. In our family we still calle it birria😅😊thanks for sharing your version because there more than you can imagine

  7. Looks incredibly GOOD! I’ve been searching for birria recipes and I will definitely try this one 😊
    Maybe soon you can search a Sandwichon (sandwich that looks like a cake) recipe and share a recipe with us. That’s a recipe I’ve also been searching for but I have not yet come across one that I actually want to try.
