To cook Costco birria tacos, start by heating the birria in a pot, then dip corn tortillas in the broth, fill them with the meat and cheese, and fry until crispy.
You can serve the tacos with chopped onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Don’t forget to have some of the rich consomé on the side for dipping.
First, gather your ingredients. You’ll need the birria, corn tortillas, cheese (like Oaxaca or mozzarella), and optional toppings like onions, cilantro, and lime.
Heat the birria in a pot over medium heat. You want it hot and flavorful, so let it simmer for a bit.
While the birria is heating, prepare your tortillas. Take each corn tortilla and dip it briefly in the warm birria broth for added flavor.
After dipping, place some of the hot birria meat in the center of the tortilla. Add some cheese on top of the meat.
Fold the tortilla over to form a taco. In a skillet, add a little oil and heat it over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the folded tacos to the skillet. Fry them until they’re golden and crispy on both sides.
Serve your tacos hot with a side of the consomé for dipping. Top with chopped onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime for the best flavor.
Enjoy your delicious Costco birria tacos. They’re perfect for a family dinner or a fun gathering with friends!
