Notes
Recipe for Lazy Man’s Birria (called Shredded Beef) It’s quite easy to make and perfect in these sliders.
If you don’t want to make your own shredded beef, you can find it precooked at some supermarkets. I recommend something like this, Hormel Beef Roast Au Jus. This is not as flavorful as the homemade, but you can always add more seasoning. You can also purchase Birria meat, which may be packaged as a stew or shredded. Just make sure you save the sauce.
