I made some beef birria from scratch a while back and I had a lot of fun. Served with homemade beans, white rice, and flour tortillas
I usually make red rice, but dinner seemed red enough already. But ultimately the onions, tortillas, and rice (and plate!) ended up making it look too white 🤷♀️

How do you make red rice? This looks great, and I’m into whatever red rice is.
This is how I know how to make it, however the Latin market now sells tomato sauce packets that are about 200 grams and I plan to adjust the recipe to use them and skip all the freezing/thawing of the extra tomato sauce.
1 cup rice
1 drizzle of oil
half can of tomato sauce (these cans are 14.5 ounces)
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 medium onion, minced
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1 boneless chicken thigh, cut up or cubed
3/4 tsp salt, sprinkle of white pepper
- Pour the oil into a medium sauce pan over medium low heat.
- Once oil warms, add rice and stir to get rice coated in oil.
- Once a few grains begin to brown, add the onion and stir to get the onion coated.
- Once a few onions begin to sweat, add the garlic and chicken and stir to get everything coated, then increase heat to medium
- Stir regularly until you can’t see raw chicken; ideally everything is glistening with some light browning.
- Add the tomato sauce and stir until coated Use the chicken broth to rinse tomato sauce out of the can
- Pour the broth and tomato sauce mixture into the pan and bring to a boil (increase to medium-high or just wait)
- Add the salt and pepper now.
- Once at a low boil, put a lid on it and move it to a back burner on lowest heat for 25 minutes.
Oh this is perfect, thank you so much for sharing :D
Oh lawd, birria tacos are in the top 10 things I’ve ever made.
I gotta find a way to make a vegan birria, I miss that shit
I’d start with a jack fruit as your meat substitute.
I was actually thinking the same thing, it makes a great pulled meat texture
Exactly
I never really considered that, but now I look online and I see lots of recipes using oyster mushrooms. Sounds tasty 👌
I have this maple log from a tree of ours that got inoculated with pearl oyster. Might try this next time it flushes
