THE BEST BIRRIA TACOS

                One of my biggest cravings in my first trimester were Birria Tacos with Mexican rice and beans. Now I crave them occasionally and didn't want to get takeout every time so I decided to make them and oh my were they delicious.

                Instructions

                1. Cut your roast into big chunks. Heat a heavy pot, add some beef tallow (or oil) and brown your meat on all sides.
                2. Once browned, set aside.
                3. Sauce: Place your onion, tomato, and garlic into the pot and add your spices. Let that cook on medium heat and add tomato paste.
                4. In the meantime deseed your peppers and add them to the pot. Cover all of that with water. Let that boil until softened.
                5. Once softened, transfer to blender and blend until smooth.
                6. Now add your meat back to the pot. Add your stock, water and all your spices (cinnamon, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, peppercorn, chicken bouillon, and salt to taste). Let that simmer on medium heat until meat is very tender.
