Description

Tender beef sliders with rich birria flavors, perfect for family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chuck roast
  • 4 dried guajillo chiles
  • 2 dried ancho chiles
  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 12 cheese sliders

Instructions

  1. Gather and prepare all ingredients. Begin by chopping the onion and garlic, readying them for the pot. Rinse the dried chiles and remove the seeds for a smoother texture in your sauce.
  2. Cook beef, shred, build sliders, bake. In your slow cooker, combine the chuck roast, onion, garlic, and dried chiles. Add enough broth to cover the meat, then set it to cook on low for several hours until it is fork-tender. Once done, shred the beef with two forks.
  3. Continue cooking until fully done and flavors are combined. After shredding, return the beef to the slow cooker and let it absorb the spices for another hour. This allows the flavors to mingle delightfully.
  4. Serve and enjoy. Build your sliders with the tender beef and your choice of cheese, cooking them briefly to melt and fuse the flavors together. Serve warm and feel the joy.

Notes

For extra flavor, toast the chiles lightly before using. They can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
