What's The Best Cut Of Meat To Use For Birria Tacos?

These days, almost any taco shop in the United States sells birria tacos, but if you're making them at home, a lean, tough chuck roast is probably the best cut you can use.

Chuck roast is not just affordable and easily available, it also has a tough texture with plenty of connective tissue and muscle that need a lot of time over heat to break down.

While preparing birria, the meat is submerged in liquid for a long time, and the chuck can hold up in that liquid for that time. So, it tenderizes for hours with delicious results.
