Get ready to elevate taco night with these bold, smoky Birria Tacos made on the Masterbuilt Gravity Series® 1150 Digital Charcoal Grill and Smoker. We’re talking slow-smoked chuck roast seasoned with kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin, then braised in a deeply rich birria consommé made with dried guajillo chiles, chipotle pepper, garlic, onion, oregano, cinnamon, and beef broth.
BBQ Essentials
This unforgettable taco night was made possible with the help of a few Masterbuilt essentials. The Gravity Series® 1150 Digital Charcoal Grill and Smoker provided the ideal environment for slow-smoking the chuck roast, locking in bold, wood-fired flavor. We fueled the cook with Masterbuilt Lump Charcoal, known for its naturally sourced hardwood and consistent heat, perfect for both smoking and high-temp searing. To finish things off, the Gravity Series® 1050 & 1150 Griddle Insert delivered that crave-worthy crispy texture to the consommé-dipped tortillas—because every great birria taco deserves a golden, griddled crunch.
The Flavor Experience
If you have never had birria tacos before, this recipe is a treat. This recipe utilizes the classic taco flavors (beef, onion, lime, etc.), and adds its own unique flavors such as dried guajillo chilis, chipotle in adobo, apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon that layer on spice. It’s bold, complex, and unlike anything else on the grill—this is not your average taco night.
