Birria Oxtails Tacos

Birria Oxtails Tacos are made with irresistible shredded beef stuffed into a corn tortilla soaked in birria broth, then pan fried until crispy and dipped again in this rich and flavorful broth. This birria recipe can easily be made on the stove top, in the Instant pot and in the slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck cut into large chunks about 3-inch pieces
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 dried Guajillo peppers
  • 3 dried Ancho chiles
  • 1 large tomato
  • 1 large onion peeled and slice into thick rounds (like for onion rings)
  • 6 garlic cloves peeled
  • 1 small cinnamon stick preferably no bigger than 1-inch
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dried marjoram
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 -2 teaspoons chicken or beef bouillon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken or beef broth

For the Tacos

  • Canola oil or non-stick cooking spray to grease the skillet or griddle
  • Corn tortillas

Choose your favorite toppings:

  • Any mild melting Mexican cheese like Oaxaca cheese, quesadilla or asadero cheese.
  • Chopped onions
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Season the meat with salt and ground black pepper and set aside.
  2. Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chiles.
  3. Toast the dried chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat (cast iron works great). Toast them only until hot and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Don’t burn them or they will make the sauce bitter.
  4. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil and remove from the heat. Submerge the chiles into the water and soak for 20 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, in the same dry skillet roast the onion slices, tomato and garlic cloves. Roast the garlic turning them often until they become fragrant. Remove from the skillet and place them in a blender. Roast the tomato and onion turning them as needed until lightly charred. Remove the onions and tomatoes and place them in the blender.
  6. Place the cinnamon stick in the hot skillet until aromatic, then add to the blender. Add the bay leaves, peppercorn, dried oregano, cumin, marjoram, cloves, vinegar and bouillon to the blender.
  7. Place the softened dried chiles and 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid in the blender. Blend until completely smooth. If you are having a hard time blending the sauce, add more of the soaking liquid.
  8. Turn the Instant pot to SAUTE and heat up the oil. Sear the beef until golden brown on all sides. Do this in batches, if needed, to not overcrowd the pot.
  9. Press cancel to turn the sauté function off. Pour the chile sauce over the beef and add the broth. With a wooden spoon, scrape any browned bits stuck at the bottom and stir to combine.
  10. Close the lid and seal the pot. Cook on high pressure for 55 minutes.
  11. When the pressure cooking is done, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 to 15 minutes, then turn the valve to venting and release the remaining pressure.
  12. Remove the beef and shred it with the help of two forks. Return the beef to the Instant Pot, toss, and allow the beef to soak up the juices. Season to taste.

To make Birria Tacos:

  1. Heat a large non-stick electric griddle to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or a medium skillet over medium heat. Using a paper towel dipped in oil lightly grease the griddle or skillet (use kitchen tongs to hold the paper towel). You can also use non-stick cooking spray, if preferred.
  2. Using tongs, carefully dip a tortilla into the birria broth to coat. Place the tortilla on the hot griddle or skillet to warm, about 60 seconds per side. Repeat with as many tortillas as will comfortably fit on the griddle.
  3. Place some of the shredded birria beef on one side of the tortilla. Cook until the bottom is lightly brown and crispy. Gently fold the tortilla in half to make a taco and press gently with a spatula. Remove from the skillet and serve topped with chopped onions, cilantro, and crumbled cheese.

Stove Top

  1. Follow the recipe above from step 1 to 7. Sear the meat in a Dutch oven or large pot until golden brown. Do this in batches, if needed, to not overcrowd the pot.
  2. Pour the chile sauce over the beef and add the broth. With a wooden spoon, scrape any browned bits stuck at the bottom and stir to combine.
  3. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 4 hours or until the meat becomes tender and shreds easily. Keep an eye on the meat and stir occasionally. If the sauce begins to dry up, add additional broth as needed. Continue with the recipe instructions above.

Crock Pot/Slow Cooker

  1. Follow the recipe above from step 1 to 7. Sear the meat in a Dutch oven or large pot until golden brown. Do this in batches, if needed, to not overcrowd the pot. Deglaze the pot with some of the broth.
  2. Transfer the beef and broth to the slow cooker. Pour the chile sauce and the remaining broth over the meat and stir to combine.
  3. Cook on low for 8 hours covered or until the meat becomes tender and shreds easily. Continue with the recipe instructions above.

Enjoy!!

Fun Facts About Burritos:

Burritos have been a staple of Mexican food and the American diet for many years. What is not to love about a plethora of your favorite flavors mixed and packed together by a perfectly rolled tortilla? In our last blog, we talked about 8 signs that you may be obsessed with burritos. To find out how obsessed you are with burritos, read this blog post. One sign that we would add to the list is that you know all there is to know about burritos: their history, the various types of burritos, and even when they have disrupted a film set. Feeling a little shaky about your burrito knowledge? Keep reading and learn a little more about the beloved burrito.


They’re named after donkeys.

That’s right! Burrito is actually the Spanish word for “little donkey.” Why? Because burritos look roughly like little donkeys. If you look at your burrito carefully, the ends look like the ears of a donkey. Burritos could also be named for the little bed rolls that were often packed on donkeys. Whatever you think your burrito looks like, this is the origin of the name.


“Burrito” was first seen in 1895.

The word burrito first appeared in print in 1895. However, the actual date of origin of our beloved burritos isn’t quite as clear. It is speculated that burritos were created for the convenience needs of farm and field workers who usually left their home and stayed on the farm or in the field all day. Like we mentioned before, burritos essentially are convenient little packages of heaven that can be easily eaten on the go.



Surf and turf burritos


Ingredients :

  • Fajita meat 10 oz


  • Extra virgin olive oil


  • ½ jalapenos peppers


  • Red onion


  • 1 tsp of cumin


  • 1 tsp black pepper


  • Juice of ½ of a lime


  • ¼ lbs texas white gulf shrimp


  • ¾ Tbsp chopped garlic


  • 1 tsp of sea salt


  • Pica de Gallo


  • Goya adobo


  • Haas avocado


  • Large flour tortilla


  • White Mexican cheese


Directions :

  1. The recipe is easy, and we say exactly how to grill Mexican Carne Asada, Shrimp, and Pico de Gallo.
  2. Sometimes French fries are used to create this burrito, but I feel that it overpowers the beef and shrimp.
  3. The burrito is then topped with Mexican white cheese, Haas avocado, and rolled into a flour tortilla.
  4. The wrapped burrito is then grilled to a golden brown, helping melt the cheese.
  5. This is without a doubt one of the best tasting burrito recipes you will find.

Epic Beef Nachos Supreme

Epic Beef Nachos Supreme

You need to make this epic beef nachos supreme at your next game day. Seasoned ground beef, refried beans, cheese, tomatoes and green onions make such a great flavor combination.

Have you got your menu all set for Super Bowl Sunday this weekend? If not, you do now. 

These nachos were inspired by my teenage days when we used to frequent Taco Bell. My repeat order was beef nachos supreme.

This recipe is the next level version of that. Way better quality and taste, with the same familiar flavor combination.
Sturdy chips, y’all
You want to start with a good, sturdy tortilla chip. None of the thin and crispy ones.

Ingredients


  • Taco Seasoning (or you can use one packet/ serving of store-bought taco seasoning)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 2 bags tortilla chips (16 ounces each)
  • 1 can refried beans
  • 16 ounces shredded cheese of choice (I used cheddar and Monterey jack)
  • 3 roma tomatoes diced
  • 2 to 3 green onions sliced

Instructions


  1. Preheat the oven at 400 degrees.
  2. Meanwhile on the stovetop, brown the ground beef and diced onions over medium-high heat until fully cooked (about 8 minutes) and drain.
  3. Return the beef to the pan, and sprinkle on the taco seasoning.
  4. Stir in 3/4 cup water, bring it to a simmer, reduce heat and simmer until the liquid mostly evaporates, about 5 minutes.
  5. While the beef is cooking, add a generous layer of chips to two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  6. Spoon on refried beans, half on each pan. These are thick, but I just add spoon fulls all over the chips. (The spoon fulls will spread with the heat of the oven.)
  7. Spoon on half the ground beef to each pan of chips.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  9. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
  10. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle on diced tomatoes and green onions.
  11. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Make sure your tortilla chips are thick and sturdy. NO thin ones. I recommend Costco’s Kirkland organic tortilla chips, or a similar brand.
  2. I wrote this recipe with entertaining in mind. If you are making this for a smaller crown (4 to 6), I think half the recipe would work just fine. Just change the number of servings on the recipe card to adjust all measurements.

Cheesy Ground Beef Quesadillas

These ground beef quesadillas are jam packed with flavourful beef and lots of cheese. They’re super easy to make and disappear fast!

Looking for super cheesy ground beef quesadillas? You’ve come to the right place! Well seasoned ground beef, lots of ooey gooey cheese and a crispy golden brown exterior make these quesadillas simply irresistible! They’re sure to become a favourite in your home as they are in ours.

Hi friends! If you’re looking for an easy quesadilla recipe, you’ve come to the right place!

If you know me, you know that I’m a huge fan of quesadillas. One of the reasons is, like grilled cheese sandwiches, quesadillas are a method of getting more cheese into my pie hole, LOL.


INGREDIENTS

  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef (I use ‘extra lean’)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper powder (or to taste, optional)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted beef stock/broth
  • 12 ounces shredded cheese blend (about 3 cups (or combination of cheddar, Monterey jack and pizza mozzarella))
  • 6 flour tortillas (mine were about 7 to 8 inches in diameter)
  • Cooking spray or oil (to grease pan)


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degree Fahrenheit (to keep quesadillas warm while cooking batches).
  2. Heat olive oil in a pan (I used non-stick pan) over medium heat.
  3. Once oil is hot, add ground beef, chili powder, chipotle powder, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper powder (if using). Heat until cooked through, breaking into crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 8 to 10 minutes or so. Stir in tomato paste and stock/broth and cook 1 to 2 minutes more.
  4. Remove beef from pan into a bowl. If there is any excess grease drain/remove.
  5. Distribute about 8 ounces (or 2 cups) of cheese among all tortillas (on one side of them).
  6. Note: Reserve the remaining 4 ounces (or 1 cup of cheese).
  7. Also, if your tortillas are smaller or larger than the size I used, the quantity you yield may vary.
  8. Distribute ground beef on top of cheese. Then, sprinkle remaining 1 cup (or 4 ounces) of cheese on top of ground beef. Fold tortilla over so you have a half moon shape.
  9. Working in batches (about 2 quesadillas per batch), spray cooking spray into pan and cook quesadillas (over medium-low heat) for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted (carefully turning and watching to ensure they don’t burn). While continuing batches, place cooked quesadillas on a baking sheet in preheated oven to keep warm.
  10. Cut each half moon (quesadilla) in half. Serve with salsa, guacamole and/or sour cream. Enjoy!
  11. Note: If you have any leftovers, properly store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 2 to 4 days, reheating when ready to enjoy.

Taco Stuffed Tomatoes

Taco Stuffed Tomatoes make a perfect, unfussy end-of-summer meal, when the nights are still hot and good tomatoes are plentiful. This easy low-carb recipe comes together in under half an hour, all in one skillet, using ground beef, zesty taco seasoning, and then loaded up with your favorite toppings and salsas.


Ingredients

  • 4-6 large tomatoes


  • 1 pound ground beef


  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning


  • 4 cups spinach, chopped


  • 1/2 cup corn *fresh or frozen


  • 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese *optional


  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Slice the top off the tomatoes and scoop out all the pulp. Place in a baking dish.
  3. Brown the ground beef in a large saute pan. Once cooked through, add the taco seasoning.
  4. Add the spinach and corn. Cook until the spinach is wilted and everything is fully mixed together.
  5. Stuff the tomatoes with the beef mixture. Use any leftover beef in the bottom of the baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle with cheese.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with the cilantro and serve. Disclaimer: This is not my food....😊

Notes

  1. Ground beef: Also delicious with ground turkey or chicken.
  2. Tomatoes: Only make this recipe with tomatoes that you'd want to eat raw. Leave the bland, pithy, store-bought tomatoes out of it. Those smaller, on-the-vine Campari tomatoes might be good candidates.
  3. Rice: Any kind of pre-cooked or leftover rice you have: brown rice, leftover Cilantro Lime Rice, long-grain rice, or even quinoa.
  4. Taco seasoning: I make my own taco seasoning blend to have on hand when the urge for tacos hits unexpectedly, but you can use the little packet from the store, too.
  5. Toppings: Try scallions, avocado or guacamole, shredded cheese, sour cream, Fritos, or crumbled tortilla chips.
  6. Size matters: Depending on the size and shape of the tomatoes you use, you may have to scale the recipe up to accommodate them and make a double batch. Luckily, that's easy to do and leftovers are always welcome.
  7. Make ahead: The filling can be made ahead of time and rewarmed in a skillet or microwave. Stuff the tomatoes right before you plan to eat.

Enjoy!!
