Indulge in the flavors of my favorite Birria Tacos! These mouthwatering tacos are made with tender beef chuck and shank, simmered in a rich, aromatic sauce crafted from guajillo and ancho chiles, garlic, and spices. Slow-cooked to perfection, they are shredded and served in warm corn tortillas with fresh cilantro, diced onion, and a squeeze of lime. Perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in!
