Birria tacos have taken the food world by storm — and for good reason. These juicy, crispy, flavor-packed tacos are the ultimate comfort food, blending centuries of Mexican tradition with the irresistible pull of slow-cooked beef and melted cheese.
But let’s be honest: making birria from scratch can be a time-consuming, intimidating process… unless you have a shortcut.
That’s where Spice Orbs' Birria Bombs come in.

## 🔥 What Is a Birria Bomb?
Our Birria Bombs are a flavor-packed sphere of carefully blended, slow-toasted spices inspired by Jalisco-style birria. Instead of measuring out ten different seasonings, roasting chiles, blending them into a sauce, and simmering for hours, you just drop a Birria Bomb into a pot with your meat and water — and that’s it.
No mess. No stress. All flavor.

## 🐄 The Perfect Cut of Meat for Birria Tacos
While you can use a variety of meats for birria — beef, goat, lamb, even chicken — we recommend a mix of chuck roast and beef short ribs for tacos. The chuck gives you that juicy, shreddable texture, and the short ribs add richness from the bone.
Pro Tip: Cut your meat into large chunks before cooking for even flavor and easier shredding.

## 🍲 How to Make Birria Using a Spice Orb
### Ingredients:
- 4 lbs beef chuck roast and/or short ribs
- 1 Medium Birria Spice Orbs
- 4–6 cups of water (enough to submerge the meat)
### Instructions:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, add your meat and cover it with water.
2. Drop in your Birria Bomb.
3. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
4. Cover and cook low and slow for 4–6 hours until the meat is fall-apart tender.
5. Shred the meat with forks and reserve the cooking liquid — this is your consomé.
Pro Tip: Skim off a bit of the fat from the surface and save it. You’ll use this to crisp up your tacos!
