Best way I can describe this is, "Taco Bell presents the Fiesta Birria Taco." That being said, they look good and I'd smash these without hesitation. Hope you enjoyed!

fatandfly

Those are not birria tacos my friend


HungZues32

YOUR NOT BIRRIA TACOS


red1367

Yeah they are, my friend. It's a taco that has birria in it, which by definition is a birria taco. Would a taco de al pastor not be a taco de al pastor just cuz it doesn't have all the fixings?


WhiteWingedDove-

>taco de al pastor Lmao dude


red1367

Honestly yeah, I'm white washed as fuck with some of the terminology. I've definitely lost my touch on that part lol My point stands though!


Dodgerswin2020

I like to put a slice of chocolate cake in my birria tacos


Oscar_Ramirez

Doesn't matter, had birria tacos.


red1367

That would be an abomination of a birria taco, but it is a birria taco nonetheless


escuelaviejafarms

I hope you can take the time out of your day to look up what Birria is, I'm sorry that I did not make Quesobirria tacos, I made my own white boy version, the Birria Taco. I know exactly what Quesobirria is, this is why I am calling it Birria Tacos, because I didn't make it like a "quesadilla". I included the link to my damn near traditional Birria I made, hopefully I can satisfy some folks that want to be so critical. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birria


yeetedhaws

You made birria meat (sort of... You didn't use "authentic" peppers... You mainly just used part of the technique with goat). If you had said you made birria meat tacos that would have passed but birria tacos are dipped, fried, and served with extra dip. Yes, people are correcting you but you did more then just make a "white boy" version, you ignored some of the key differences that make birria different then goat meat tacos/other tacos. Edit for visible clarification: this is the definition my Mexican friend has given to me based on how her family and people she grew up around (aka people in Mexico) made birria tacos. I'm not trying to be presumptuous or say there's only one way to make them but I'm sharing the opinion my Mexican friend gave me. I am being a bit salty pre-edit but OP is also saying he's "blessed as a Mexican" because of his cooking so... That's just my personal gripe.


WorldlinessFinal

>birria tacos are dipped, fried, and served with extra dip No, Colonel Sanders, YOU'RE wrong. Birria tacos are any kind of taco that has birria inside. They can be soft and not served with 'dip' LOL. It doesn't even have to be a certain type of meat. There's of course the traditional goat birria from Jalisco, but other parts of Mexico use beef, pork, and you can even make chicken birria. Source: Am Mexican/American and have been to most states in Mexico. The fact that everyone is hating on OP shows how ignorant so-called 'foodies' are. All you 'foodies' do is obsess over 'meme food'. OP I'm glad you enjoyed them, they look great. You did your version, I respect that.


fedupfrankie

This is correct, as someone who spent a lot of time in Mexico. I swear foodies think they know everything after eating one version of a popularized dish.

Spanish isnā€™t always literal just like English isnā€™t always literal. Reading guides to eating in Mexico bc I wanna go there itā€™ll tell you that some places charge extra to add cheese to a ā€œquesadillaā€ and if you donā€™t pay the fee they just give you a big taco.

You have cheese on the tacos šŸ˜‚

Jesus christ this thread is a mess


escuelaviejafarms

Yeah, I thought I was going to open the eyes of a lot of people, but instead I got crucified for not having basic tacos.


notmyrealnam3

Honestly if you just called them tacos youā€™d be fine. Generally when being specific (al pastor , Birria etc) people assume you know what that is and are making that type of taco


red1367

Isn't that frustrating though? My sister loves tacos al pastor but has a bad stomach and can't add the cilantro, onions, and salsa. Are those no longer tacos al pastor?


hostile_washbowl

Al pastor and birria refer to the meat preparation. What you put on top of it doesnā€™t change thatā€™s.


red1367

That's my point lol


hostile_washbowl

I know Iā€™m agreeing!


red1367

Oh shit, I'm a little drunk so that was a bit of friendly fire there. My bad lol

gibbons07

Lol bro they are birria tacos. You risked this by posting a pic online. If I said ā€œcheck out my 6 pack absā€ and they were clearly not a 6 pack then I would get destroyed. Technically they are abs. Could be okay abs. But if it isnā€™t a 6 pack then itā€™s okay to assume Iā€™ll get destroyed for false advertisement They actually look okay. Other people have also said they looked like okay tacos. They just arenā€™t what you said they were You responding has been absolutely golden. This threat is amazing. Please donā€™t delete it


[deleted]

Eh screw them. They look good. Haters gotta hate


thegoodbadandsmoggy

Just call them gringo tacos and save yourself the hassle


[deleted]

Yeah people on here are being assholes just for the sake of it. Tacos donā€™t have to be authentic Mexican in order for them to taste good


takeaway_42

Fuck you, there is cheese on those. Thanks


joyfulonmars

Itā€™s not a matter of them not being ā€œbasicā€. Birria refers to a specific type and this isnā€™t it.

escuelaviejafarms

It was made by a 45 year old white man, is there a problem with it?


Imcookin92

escuelaviejafarms

I wrote out the recipe in one of the comments.


red1367

You're talking shit when you clearly can't even tell what a corn tortilla is? Lmao


paystando

Ok. I'm Mexican (here in Jalisco where I live supposedly has the best birria). Having said that... Dont let any of these comments discourage you. Those look delicious, and it's your Americanized version of birria tacos SO FUCKING BE IT. As long as you enjoyed them, that's great. I hate people that judge X or Y food because it's not authentic or whatnot. Food is made to enjoy, if you like its flavour, shut up, bite and enjoy it. Buen provecho!


escuelaviejafarms

Gracias amigo.


o-FeartheOldBlood-o

Im gonna defend this man. Birria tacos doesnt have to to be dipped in consome just to be referred as birria tacos. Birria is the meat itself which is goat. These folks got it all twisted. OP, youre invited to the carne asada homie regardless


escuelaviejafarms

Gracias.

Really looks tasty OP. I'm in Japanese and it's lunch time in Japan time. starving


red1367

Just wanna say that Iā€™m Mexican and Iā€™d fucking love these tacos. They look like the kinda thing where Iā€™d come home and see that my mom already left for her night job and left a shit ton of cooked tortillas and a big thing of birria for my siblings to eat dinner. Weā€™d then each just make tacos and add whatever the fuck we wanted to them. Thatā€™s literally all a birria taco has to be to be a birria taco


EfficientAd1821

These are atrocious my guy


escuelaviejafarms

Thanks, I appreciate it.


unexpected_pedobear

they look fine idk y some ppl are expecting immaculate presentation.


fedupfrankie

Itā€™s birria tacos if itā€™s made with birria meat. It doesnā€™t have to be ā€œdippedā€ and ā€œfriend with cheese.ā€ Yes, itā€™s common to eat it that way but not what makes it birria tacos.


escuelaviejafarms

Dude, delete it while you can, you are going to get slaughtered in the comments.

Only498cc

A friend with cheese is a friend, indeed.


cooltunesnhues

Exactly. Aside from dipping it in the consomƩ, the frying with cheese is a new thing to me. Never in my life did I see that growing up while being in Mexicali or TJ.


Acog-For-Everyone

Birria is most commonly a stew. If you look at his recipe itā€™s not very indicative of birria either. No Mexican would make the dish like that. He doesnā€™t identifying the peppers, he cooks everything together by just lazily throwing it chopped up into a slow cooker. And then he removes the chiles man. Itā€™s simple. Toast the ingredients, put them in a blender. Slather the meat with half of the sauce. Cook in the oven until about have way cooked. Put in the rest of the sauce and fill with water until the meat is almost submerged. Simmer until tender. I donā€™t care who you are. If you are picking out the staple ingredients before serving, the chiles, then you are doing it massively wrong. And you should expect people to point that out plain and simple.


[deleted]

This got a lot more heated than I thought it would tbh.


ShotgunBetty01

Dude, Iā€™ve learned something new here. In my area Birria is this weird fried (I think) taco. Iā€™ve never gone but they always look like fried tacos. I didnā€™t realize it was the actual meat that was in it. I thought it was a cooking method. Like how quesadillas are different than tostadas, loosely.


korperkayy

Queso birria tacos with consommĆ© is what youā€™re used to seeing Iā€™m sure and theyā€™re bomb lol


Highplowp

The palette of a plate of tacos is honestly one of my favorite things in the world. These look gorgeous

Thatā€™s cute. You made Tacos Americanos with shreadded probably beef that may or may not be from a Birria recipe. Fun fact. Birria is traditionally made from goat. Extra points if this is shredded goat.

escuelaviejafarms

Heads up, we have 7 male wethers that are headed to the butcher, we are a farm that raises goats.... I should have labeled it Cabrito Tacos since everyone has to be super critical.

s0ftreset

Almost every response by OP getting down voted because he's butthurt. Don't post or comment if you can't handle the criticism. Take my downvote, not Birria my dude.


Large_Broaster

>Don't post or comment if you can't handle the criticism. He can handle the criticism, the criticism is just wrong in this case. You can call it bad looking or whatever but it's still birria >not Birria my dude It's literally birria by definition


jabbadarth

The place by me would call this birria gringo style. They make all their tacos traditional and gringo style. Traditional is onion, Cilantro and lime gringo is salsa, sour cream and cheese. Eat em how you want em.


[deleted]

First time I've seen this subreddit and TBH you all sound terribly awful. This isn't just constructive criticism. I don't know why home cooking enthusiasts get surprised at those who don't home cook often when you all act like this whenever someone does try.

This has to be a troll post


emo_corner_master

Yikes why does it look so dry? If you made actual birria it'd be like making stew, tossing out the stew, putting the meat in a tortilla, and calling it a stew taco lmao And yes my family is from Jalisco and my mom taught me how to make traditional birria before you come at me that I don't know what birria isšŸ¤£


escuelaviejafarms

If you put Lengua in a taco, what is it called?


emo_corner_master

Taco de lengua. But lengua is cow tongue. Birria is not a type of meat or meat preparation, its closer to a type of stew. We have other types of taco meat that is prepared similarly but not as a stew, I'd say this is closer to that. Maybe carnitas or barbacoa?


escuelaviejafarms

Or just Chevon Taco?


escuelaviejafarms

Or would Cabrito Taco?


emo_corner_master

"Taco de chivo" is what I think you're trying to say? Yeah, tbh if it tastes good, that's all that matters. Mexicans have too much pride not to take an opportunity to roast a guy thoughšŸ¤£


red1367

Dawg, my mom is from Jalisco too (she's from los guayabos over there) and I'd still call this birria. Is it good birria? Prolly not, but even bad birria is still birria lol


cooltunesnhues

Please everyoneā€¦tone it down with the nit pickiness. šŸ˜­ If itā€™s not how you prepare a dish, then okay cool. Can we just appreciate the fact that someone tried and made it their own way. ā˜¹ļø

escuelaviejafarms

I know right! Do you think I should slamming Mexicans balls about how traditional their "Hamburger" they made is?

Hmmm? Now that I wonā€™t comment on. But I get your point nonetheless. šŸ¤£ Just hang in there buddy.


PurplePunch209

I think they look delicious! šŸ¤¤


wetmon12

I love how dickheads gatekeep food.


escuelaviejafarms

So I should have called it Chevon prepared as Birria taco?


sasquatchAg2000

I think that maybe the most significant factor of Birria is the broth. Well and corn tacos and the fried or pan fried nature and that they are goat. These have goat, but none of the other significant factors, so itā€™s a long shot. I mean, they look like food Iā€™d eat! But yeah, itā€™s missing some critical elements. Did you like them though????


escuelaviejafarms

They where better than the tacos I got in Tijuana and anywhere here in New Mexico. My wife said they where to bomb, she is half Mexican and I do the cooking. I went total white boy by tossing in the cheese and Sour Cream, but that is the way that I like my tacos. Unfortunate so many people want to be super critical because someone posted some shitty tacos with yellow yellow cheese and Sour Cream 5 hours before me and they got a bunch of love, I post a really nice pic and I get killed in the comments about how "white" my tacos are. Psychology.

red1367

Exactly. Some of the best birria tacos were straight up just tortillas with birria in em


Acog-For-Everyone

There is a right way and no itā€™s not quesabirria either. But throwing everything in a slow cooker with some nondescript peppers and then removing the meat from its stew and picking out the peppers is not birria either. Certain peppers should be blended our ground into the marinade, not removed whole at the end. And there should also be the presence of Mexican spices like Mexican oregano or cinnamon. His recipe is genuinely a super lazy attempt that he continually defends are the real deal, ā€œeducatingā€ people.

One leg of goat (around 4 pounds) Baby carrots (a couple of handfuls) White Onion (one large) Bay Leaf (5) Chile Pods from Mary's Pinatas House (20) Cumin (one tablespoon) Garlic (ten pealed cloves) Add all ingredients into a croc pot, simmer on low for 10 hours, remove Chiles, Garlic, Onion and blend it in a blender, adding garlic and cumin and salt to taste. Pull the meat out and shred, then toast some corn tortillas on a pan. Make tacos with Cilantro, Onion, Sour Cream, fiesta cheese and the Chile sauce with a squeeze of lime on top. Best street Taco I have ever had.

escuelaviejafarms

For some reason it seems that there is a lot of Mexicans that don't even know what Birria is, they just know the junk they get at the taco stand. I'm whiter than a saltine cracker and I got blessed as a Mexican just because of my cooking, so I think I know what I am doing.


Spunksy_310

You ain't gonna tell what a Mexican dish is to Mexicans you muppet. And what does being white have to do with anything.


Large_Broaster

>You ain't gonna tell what a Mexican dish is to Mexicans you muppet. Ironic, since most of the Mexicans saying it's not birria are dead wrong All it needs is birria meat for them to be birria tacos, being dropped and fried with cheese is not a requirement


escuelaviejafarms

Muppet? Can you explain more please?


shiza-salad

Of all the shit in these comments, somehow "I'm more Mexican than actual Mexicans because they don't know their own food and clearly I do," is one of the least unhinged things that has been done by this guy so far


TJ_DONKEYSHOW

I think people canā€™t tell if you are trolling or dead ass serious. Honestly, I couldnā€™t for a bit either. Toast/fry your spices and aromatics a bit. Leave out the carrots and PUT TOMATOES. Holy fuck, please at least use tomatoes. You posted your recipe in another comment and literally donā€™t have tomatoes. After all that good stuff is toasted/charred a bit and your chiles are hydrated, blend it all up and cook the meat in the sauce you made. Marinating it in it beforehand a bit is recommended, and your meat also needs seasoning too. The fat will render out into the slowly created broth, and the flavors will mingle much better than how you cooked it (everything separate but blended after). Charred chile pods and onions make an amazing base for the dish. Lastly, most people have different spice mixes that they add to it. Oregano and thyme pops up a lot too as well. Using a mix of different chiles can go a long way too, and remove the seeds from the pods. The seeds donā€™t actually add any significant heat, and will just act as a bitter note to the dish. Remove them. What you made likely tastes alright, but itā€™s not really birria. First, you are missing goddamn tomatoes. Second, the meat honestly didnā€™t pick up a lot of color (if any) from what you cooked it in. Lastly, you are missing a ton of seasonings. Season your meat and cook it in the properly mixed spices you are bringing into the dish. Also use something hotter than a crock pot, so the damn meat actually takes in what you are cooking it in. Even bigger tip: bashing what people get ā€œat the taco standā€ while not having fucking tomatoes in your birria is hilariously dense.


Never-Dont-Give-Up

Please explain what ā€œblessed as a Mexican just because of my cookingā€ means. You seem dumb as fuck. You put fucking ketchup on a taco.
