Pressure Cooker Birria Tacos
This traditional Mexican meat stew with a rich and flavorful broth is easy to make in a pressure cooker. The Birria meat (and cheese, if you like) can be stuffed into tortillas that have been dipped in the broth for extra flavor, then folded and pan fried until crispy. Top ‘em just how you like ‘em, with a bowl of the Birria broth on the side for dipping.
