Birria bombs

[El Jason]

I’ve done both. I think the traditional is maybe a little better, but when you weigh the convenience factor it’s a no brainer for the majority of the time.

So I’m interested to hear from anyone who’s done both traditional Birria and the bombs as to a comparison? I’ve only done the traditional, and quite frankly, it’s a bit of a pain with toasting the chilis, then soaking them, then making the purée. But there’s also a certain pleasure in doing all of that to understand and appreciate how flavors come together. But if there’s no difference in the taste of the end product, I’ve been there done that and happy to take the easy way out going forward. I asked the owner of my local Mexican joint about it, and he said he hadn’t tried the bombs and never will. He makes some kick ass Birria.

Try the Bombs. Use beef broth and a can of Cold Smoke. It is good. mtmuley
