Here’s what you’ll need to make about 10-12 Birria Bombs:
For the Birria Meat:
2-3 lbs beef chuck or short ribs 🥩
2 tbsp Birria Bomb Seasoning 🌶️
1 onion (chopped) 🧅
4 garlic cloves (smashed) 🧄
3 cups beef broth

🍳 How to Make Birria Bombs Step-by-Step
1. Make the Birria Meat
In a slow cooker or instant pot, add your beef, onion, garlic, broth, and Birria Bomb Seasoning.
Cook low and slow for 6–8 hours (or 1 hour in the Instant Pot) until the meat is tender and shreds easily.
Save the leftover broth — this is your birria consommé for dipping!
2. Assemble the Bombs
Take a tortilla or a small round of biscuit dough.
Add a spoonful of shredded birria, some cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh onion/cilantro if desired.
Fold and pinch to seal the edges, forming a small pouch or bomb.
3. Fry or Bake
For crispy bombs, heat oil in a skillet and fry each side until golden brown and crispy.
Alternatively, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
4. Dip and Devour
Serve hot with a side of warm consommé.
Dip. Bite. Repeat. 🤤
