Slow Cooker Lamb Birria Tacos
Delicious, melt-in-your-mouth Slow Cooker Lamb Birria Tacos, made for the Make It Lamb campaign, which supports Love Lamb Week. I made them using naturally delicious British lamb, a must-try if you love lamb and tacos!
Ingredients
Directions
- 1
Combine the chopped tomatoes, garlic, chipotle paste, smoked paprika, ground cumin and white wine vinegar in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- 2
Season the lamb chunks with salt and pepper, then sear in a hot non-stick medium pan over moderate heat on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Then transfer to the slow cooker.
- 3
Add the onion, bay leaves, and the blended tomato sauce to the slow cooker. Add the beef or lamb stock, ensuring the lamb is partially covered in liquid without making the sauce too watery.
- 4
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the lamb is tender. Once the lamb is cooked, remove from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded lamb to the slow cooker to absorb the flavourful juices.
- 5
Warm the tortillas in a hot dry non-stick griddle pan, dip the tortillas in the flavourful sauce, and then fill them with the delicious, shredded lamb. Finish with garnishes of your choice.
