Smoked Birria California Burritos

Smoky, saucy, crispy, and absolutely loaded—these Smoked Birria California Burritos from ambassador Nick Nesgoda are next-level comfort food. Slow-smoked chuck roast gets layered with rich chile flavor, braised until fall-apart tender, then wrapped up with fries, guac, onion, and cilantro before getting a final toast. Don’t forget the consommé for dipping.

Prep

30 minutes

Cook time

4–5 hours

Serves

6–8 burritos

Steps

  1. Cube the chuck roast and season generously on all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Preheat your smoker to 250°F using Bear Mountain Gourmet Blend pellets. Smoke the cubed chuck roast until it develops color and smoke flavor, about 2 hours.
  3. In a pot, boil the ancho chiles, guajillo chiles, tomatoes, onion, and garlic until softened. Transfer to a blender with about 1 cup of the braising liquid and blend until smooth.
  4. Place the smoked chuck roast into a Dutch oven. Pour the blended sauce over the meat and add cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, oregano, and beef broth.
  5. Braise covered on low heat for about 2 more hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.
  6. Remove the beef from the Dutch oven and shred finely. Strain and reserve the consommé for dipping.
  7. To assemble, layer guacamole, shredded birria beef, fries, diced onion, and cilantro onto a large flour tortilla. Wrap tightly, then toast the burrito on a hot griddle until golden and crispy.
  8. Serve sliced in half with warm consommé for dipping.
