To hold myself accountable, I will not bring my earphones to work if i don’t accomplish the task by then 🤧. I will include a picture if I am able to finish the task by next thursday.

      I’m just about to compile a list of ingredients I need! If I’m not too lazy, I’ll head out tonight and get all the stuff I need and finally cook tomorrow.

    Ooh, that’s a first for me, never heard of it, looked it up and my mouth is watering, which meat do you think you’ll use?

      I wanna say beef just because that’s the meat I’m most familiar with taste-wise when it comes to birria, but goat does sound bussin.

            Well, take this with a grain of salt, no pun intended, but I made a stew with lamb meat and I cooked it for a while and it wasn’t cooked as well as I’d like, but part of it may be that it was stew and that the pieces were a little bit too thick, but I’m sure if you find a recipe for it, cooking it shouldn’t be too tough

              Hehe, I have completed it! I borrowed some beer from work and used it in the stew! I cook it for about an hour and a half. The meat was super tender!

                Nice! Yea I used lamb meat in a stew and used a Guinness inside for taste but I added too much Guinness and didn’t cook the meat enough, so basically your meal sounds like a delicious version of the stew I made that didn’t work well

    Before I potentially dox myself, does lemmy delete metadata from pictures upon posting?

    Btw I’ve managed it! I ended up using a lot of ingredients from work 😈. It looks like I’m keeping my earphones :)

    Edit: admittedly, it looks less appealing, but! the final product isn’t quite done. I’m gonna take some of the meat to work, chop it up, cook it on the flat, and put it in a tortilla with oaxaca cheese, onions, cilantro, and lime. That’s where it’ll look really appetizing!

      It looks so filling! How was it? Appeal aside, it does seem tasty :)) Final product? I’m interested seeing it on the tortilla!

        I lied, I didn’t end up using a tortilla. I just had it cooked for breakfast by itself :). I did however put it in a torta this evening, which I didn’t take a picture of 😢.

        Edit: here’s the torta!

            • 5 Ancho peppers, deseeded
            • 5 Guajillo peppers, deseeded
            • 2 - 3 arbol peppers, deseeded
            • 1 tsp olive oil
            • 2 large onion
            • 3 roma tomatoes
            • 5 cloves of garlic
            • 1 tbsp oregano
            • 1 tbsp salt
            • 1 tbsp cinnamon (optional, gives a sweet taste)
            • 1 tbsp ginger
            • 1 tbsp black pepper
            • 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
            • 3 cups of beef broth (maybe 4?)
            • 3.5 lb of lamb/ beef/ goat

            (this all fed me for about 2 weeks I’d say)

            • Heat large pan to medium heat. When pan smokes, toss in peppers. Use a bit of oil, and lightly roast the peppers. Don’t overcrowd the pot!

            • Put peppers aside

            • cut the tomatoes in cubes along with the cubed onion. Take tomatoes, onions, and garlic. Give them a nice roasting on a pan, wait till pan is smoking. Don’t overcook, you just want that nice crust around each side.

            • take tomatoes, garlic, onion, and all spices. Put in boiling water, you’re gonna want everything submerged. Boil for 10 minutes, cover pot.

            • Take everything, blend it with a food processor. Don’t dump the water, include it when you blend the food. All the spice and flavor is in there! Get a big strainer and strain it all. You want to strain it pretty fine. Get’s rid of all the blended spices, they have a weird texture.

            • Once strained, add the apple cider vinegar and beef broth.

            • Salt and pepper the meat to your liking! Let sit for like 10 minutes. Cut the meat into cubes.

            • Toss the marinade over your meat and let sit for at least 3 hours. Over night is even better!

            Cooking:

            • For stovetop, use a big pot, toss everything in, and cook for about 2 hours. See how tender the meat is, and if it’s not tender enough, cook for another 30 minutes. You’ll want it on medium to high heat! Also, cover pot.

            • For oven, find over safe container, cover with foil, and cook for 2 hours at 350 (murican degrees)

            Optional: You can use a can of beer to make the meat more tender. Toss in during the cooking stage/ put in marinade and let sit.
