This recipe is perfect for anyone who wants to have all of that birria flavor but doesn't want to put in all of the time and effort to cook it. Simply add the ingredients to the slow cooker and select a cooking time. It's great to start in the morning before work to enjoy for dinner and even better the next day for leftovers. The deep flavors are the perfect combination of savory street food meets comfort food.
In 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, mix beef, carrots, onion, celery, salt, and pepper. Stir in tomatoes and broth.
Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until beef is tender.
Increase slow cooker to High heat setting. In small bowl, beat cornstarch and cold water with whisk until blended. While slowly stirring the stew, add cornstarch mixture in a slow steady stream. Stir until blended. Stir in pinto beans. Cook about 15 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened.
Top with your choice of garnishes.
For a deeper, smoky, rich flavor try searing the stew meat before adding to the slow cooker. In a 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, turning as needed, until browned on all sides, about 4 to 6 minutes.
Drizzle with chili oil for a hint of that rich red chili birria taco flavor we all love.
Serve with warm, toasted, fresh corn tortillas for the authentic birria experience.
