Birria Sauce actually comes from a Mexican stew…but this is just the sauce part. It is so rich and flavorful…you will fall in love with it.
It’s an amazing mixture of chilis and spices that will knock your socks off!
You can purchase a bottle at the store BUT it is pretty easy to make and worth it!
Prep the dried chilis and peppers by cutting off both ends and removing all the seeds.
Heat the oil…add the onion and garlic. Cook and stir about 5-6 minutes until softened.
Stir in all the wonderful spices…the smell is amazing!!!
Stir in the dried chilis.
Add in the vinegar and tomato paste.
Stir in the broth and fresh tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
