Chef's Notes
Do not rush the adobo paste blending stage. If your blender leaves chunks of chilli skin behind, your consommé will feel gritty rather than silky smooth. Patience makes perfection!
Pro Tip
When skimming the Birria oil from the top of the pot, tilt the pot slightly and use a shallow spoon. Getting that vibrant red oil is the secret to achieving that iconic, Instagram-worthy red crunch on your tortillas.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you touch your eyes immediately after handling the dried arbol chillies without wearing gloves, you will experience the fiery wrath of a thousand suns and your cooking session will end in tears at the kitchen sink.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our Royal Jester says: 'Why spend three hours slow-cooking beef just to drown it in broth? I suppose if you wanted soup, you could have just saved the electricity and used a blender!'
The Culinary Science
Simmering dried chillies in water rehydrates their pectin and cellular walls, allowing the blender to completely pulverize them into a natural thickening agent that gives your adobo paste a velvety body without using flour or starch.
