Beef Birria Tacos with Consommé

Put the chipotle paste, cumin, oregano, garlic, onion, tomato and stock in a pan and simmer for 12–15 minutes until the onion is soft. Mash well or blend for a smoother consommé.

Meanwhile, sear the beef in a hot pan with a splash of oil for 1–2 minutes until browned. Stir it into the consommé for 1 minute, then lift it out and chop roughly.
