My son simmered the birria all afternoon and the results were delicious! So yummy in the fried tacos, but we’re looking forward to eating the meat in regular tacos and quesadillas. Mmmmm
Today we made some Birria Tacos. Koa had made these before and wanted to eat them again, so he sent me the recipe. I cooked the meat for a few hours, and then we both fried up the tacos. They were pretty good, but took a while to make. Still, it was fun to cook with my son. 😀
If you are in San Antonio near the Alamodome and looking for a bite, I highly recommend Con Huevos Tacos. Delicious. And big – Mariko and I ordered two tacos each and we were stuffed! 🌮
It was Taco Tuesday at the Fujimoto house! This time, we had carne asada from Trader Joe’s. It was yummy!
And before we feasted on tacos, we pre-gamed it with some Espolòn tequila. A combination for the ages. 😄
Tonight we had carnitas tacos for dinner, which is one of my favorite foods. In fact, whenever carnitas is on the menu at the restaurant, it immediately jumps to the top spot among the other dishes. 😀
I used this Instant Pot Carnitas recipe today, which is a new one for me. It’s similar to others I’ve used, but it adds a decent amount of lime juice to the meat before cooking which was something that I hadn’t done before. The rest of the family said they didn’t taste the lime, but I think it added a little something extra which was good. Overall, I liked this recipe a lot, and will use it again. It’s not too heavily spiced, so the flavor of the pork comes through nicely. A previous recipe had me add a can of chipotle peppers to the meat, and while it tasted good, it overpowered the meat and is not what I was used to. So I prefer this simpler recipe. And the Instant Pot makes it incredibly easy to make!
We enjoyed the meat with corn tortillas, Serrano peppers, cilantro, onion, lime, and avocado. We also had a jar of homemade salsa from a friend, which complemented the dish perfectly. It was a yummy meal for sure. 🌮💗
I hope you had a great day!
