Making Crock Pot Birria Tacos is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to achieve amazing results:

1. Prep the Chilies: Soak the dried guajillo and ancho chilies in hot water for about 15-20 minutes until softened.
2. Blend the Sauce: In a blender, combine the softened chilies, garlic, spices (cumin, coriander, oregano, cinnamon), and beef broth. Blend until smooth and set aside.
3. Sear the Meat: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step enhances flavor.
4. Place in Crock Pot: Transfer the seared beef to the crock pot. Pour the blended chili sauce over the meat. Add chopped onion and bay leaves, and season with salt and pepper.
5. Add Broth: Pour any remaining beef broth into the crock pot to ensure the meat is partially submerged.
6. Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and easily shredded.
7. Shred the Meat: Once cooked, remove the beef and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat and bay leaves.
8. Prepare Tortillas: Heat corn tortillas on a skillet until warm and pliable.
9. Assemble Tacos: Fill each tortilla with shredded meat and garnish with chopped cilantro and diced onions.
10. Serve with Broth: Serve tacos immediately with a small bowl of the savory broth for dipping.

By following these steps, you’ll find that making Crock Pot Birria Tacos is not only simple but also a rewarding experience—perfect for any gathering.
