We were really excited to make this recipe for authentic Mexican street-style beef tacos with lots of cheese (Quesabirria), and tortillas grilled in their own broth. We hosted a meal at home with friends to enjoy them, served with consomé, taqueria salsas, pico de gallo, and more.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, cut the beef into medium pieces and sear in batches over high heat in the same pot you’ll use for cooking. Set aside each batch as you go.

    Add the beef and bones to a pressure cooker, pour the sauce over, add a tablespoon of vinegar and about 4 cups (1 liter) of water, making sure not to exceed the maximum fill line.

    Once done, remove the meat and shred it with two forks—it should fall apart easily.

    To enjoy these tacos at their best, dip the tortillas in the beef broth and grill them.
