Making Birria Tacos, Have a Few Questions…

[Andrrr]

Hey all,
I found the YouTube video for the chili oil recipe. The video is for a birria recipe but the chili oil starts at 7:10. gcdmd realdocBBQ Finster

That is the recipe I use for the chili oil. She also has 3 or 4 other chili oil recipes on her channel.

So in my world, you simply and quickly drag the corn tortilla through the sauce and put it on your Comal. Will it be perfectly crunchy? No, it will not. Will it cook wonderfully, yes it will. For the dip and the fill and the cook, it’s very simple. Dip it, fill it, put it on your comal and flip again…end of a story.

so it may not be perfectly crunchy, but it will be. Otherwise you’re putting too much liquid on the tortilla. Soaking the tortilla in the liquid is a very quick thing. One side, two side in two seconds. You’re not soaking it. If your tortillas fall apart, they are old. Just like me.

I agree, using flour tortillas (in my house) I just quickly slide it through, 2 sides in 2 seconds, directly onto a hot griddle or skillet. I don't get it CRUNCHY, but it isn't falling apart.

But I am going to try it with the chile-infused oil and see if I can get the crunch I'm looking for...

here’s a paprika file for the recipe. I think this is the exact oil Andrrr posted from video.

this oil is used on a number of things for me as well. Can almost be like garlic chile crisp oil you can pick up in the Asian markets.

Paprika’d! Thinking this would be good made with lard…just heat a little when ready to use.

Thank You.
