What are Disneyland Copycat Birria Tacos?
These tacos are a work of art! Every single minute that you spend making them will be worth it. I first had birria tacos from a restaurant in California Adventure (Disneyland) called Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill. They became viral, and I just had to try making them on my own. Because we can’t just go to Disneyland whenever we want, right? Traditionally made as a delicious and savory Mexican stew, this flavored meats has been around for a long time! But then, the meat was taken and put into taco shells (genius!). Now, we have a dinner that you will want every single night. It turns out that making these at home is even better! How often do you find a copycat recipe that is better than the original? The beef in these tacos is seasoned with a flavorful sauce, cinnamon and then bay leaves. And the sauce is really where it’s at. You make this with an array of delicious Mexican seasonings, peppers, and onions blended together. And to make things extra delicious, you use the sauce to flavor your tortillas and to dip your taco in once it’s finished. These tacos are SO good. You don’t want to miss out!
