Pro Tips

• Birria tacos are the biggest taco trend in recent years — 'dipping into the consommé' is the iconic feature.
• The braising liquid (consommé) is the real star — spicy, rich, red, and addictive.
• Cannabis coconut oil in the consommé: the hot fat absorbs cannabinoids perfectly. Stir in cold, don't cook it.
• Guajillo chilis (mild-fruity) + ancho (sweet-smoky) + chipotle (spicy-smoky) = perfect depth.
