Corn tortillas are pressed on the truck. Ask for it sin queso, or extra crispy.
Dip it. All the way.
Consomé is the broth the beef braised in all night: guajillo, ancho, clove and bay. It is the whole point. Here is how to do it right.
- 01Hold the taco by the tail, fold side up.
- 02Dip the front third. Count to two.
- 03Bite. Repeat. Drink what’s left in the cup.
Why three napkins
Because you will use all three. Birria is messy on purpose: the tortillas get dragged through the red fat on the plancha before they are filled, so every bite drips.
It is Beto’s family recipe from Jalisco, made with beef chuck and short rib, never goat, and cooked in the commissary kitchen overnight so the truck opens with a full pot. When it is gone, we close the window.
