Chopped cilantro<\/p>\n

Diced white onion<\/p>\n

Lime wedges<\/p>\n

Birria consomm\u00e9 for dipping<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/h1>\n

Step 1 \u2013 Prepare the Birria<\/h2>\n

Toast the dried guajillo, ancho, and \u00e1rbol chiles for about 30 seconds per side<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Boil them with the tomatoes for 10 minutes<\/strong> until softened.<\/p>\n

Blend together with:<\/p>\n

onion<\/p>\n

garlic<\/p>\n

beef broth<\/p>\n

vinegar<\/p>\n

cumin<\/p>\n

oregano<\/p>\n

cloves<\/p>\n

cinnamon<\/p>\n

salt<\/p>\n

pepper<\/p>\n

Blend until completely smooth.<\/p>\n

Step 2 \u2013 Cook the Beef<\/h2>\n

Season the beef with salt.<\/p>\n

Brown the meat in hot oil.<\/p>\n

Pour the birria sauce over the beef.<\/p>\n

Add the bay leaves.<\/p>\n

Cover and simmer for 3\u20133\u00bd hours<\/strong>, or pressure cook for 60 minutes<\/strong>, until the meat easily shreds.<\/p>\n

Remove the meat.<\/p>\n

Shred it finely.<\/p>\n

Reduce the cooking liquid slightly to create a rich consomm\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Mix a few spoonfuls into the shredded beef.<\/p>\n

Step 3 \u2013 Assemble the Nachos<\/h2>\n

Spread the tortilla chips on a baking tray.<\/p>\n

Layer with:<\/p>\n

Oaxaca cheese<\/p>\n

Monterey Jack cheese<\/p>\n

shredded birria<\/p>\n

Bake at 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C)<\/strong> for 8\u201310 minutes<\/strong>, until the cheese is fully melted.<\/p>\n

Step 4 \u2013 Make the Guacamole<\/h2>\n

Mash the avocados.<\/p>\n

Mix in:<\/p>\n

onion<\/p>\n

cilantro<\/p>\n

jalape\u00f1o<\/p>\n

lime juice<\/p>\n

salt<\/p>\n

Keep the texture slightly chunky.<\/p>\n

Step 5 \u2013 Finish<\/h2>\n

Top the hot nachos with:<\/p>\n

fresh guacamole<\/p>\n

pickled jalape\u00f1os<\/p>\n

Mexican crema<\/p>\n

queso fresco<\/p>\n

chopped cilantro<\/p>\n

diced onion<\/p>\n

Serve immediately with hot birria consomm\u00e9 on the side for dipping.<\/p>\n

Serve With<\/h1>\n

Mexican rice<\/p>\n

Charro beans<\/p>\n

Street corn (Elote)<\/p>\n

Fresh salsa roja<\/p>\n

Lime wedges<\/p>\n

Ice-cold Mexican Coke or Jarritos<\/p>\n

Tips<\/h1>\n

A combination of chuck roast and short ribs creates the richest, most flavorful birria.<\/p>\n

Freshly shred Oaxaca cheese for the smoothest, stretchiest melt.<\/p>\n

Keep the tortilla chips crispy by baking only until the cheese has melted.<\/p>\n

Spoon a little consomm\u00e9 over the shredded beef before assembling for extra juiciness.<\/p>\n

Serve the consomm\u00e9 separately so everyone can dip the nachos or drizzle it over the top for authentic street-style flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
