FOUR SAUCEMEN: Birria Taco Seasoning - 80g

Birria night, sorted

The queue-round-the-block taco truck favourite, made in your own kitchen. The Four Saucemen have packed it all into one fragrant, bold blend so all you bring is the beef, the cheese and the appetite. One 80g pack, one slow cooker, 12 proper birria tacos.

The flavour

Deep, rich and savoury — spices, sea salt, tomato, onion and garlic build a broth that stains your fingers red and has everyone going back to dunk one more time. Bold up front, mellow and meaty by the finish.

How to cook with it

• Birria tacos — slow-cook 1kg cubed beef (blade steak, cross cut or oyster blade works best) with the whole packet and 900ml of water until it falls apart.
• Dunk corn tortillas in the consommé, fill, fold and pan-fry for that cheese pull.
• Serve a small bowl of the cooking liquid on the side — that’s your consommé.
• Finish with diced raw onion, fresh coriander, a squeeze of lime and your favourite hot sauce.

In the pack

A fragrant, finely ground seasoning mix that turns slow-cooking water into a deep red, rich birria broth. Bold, rich flavour from the pack — want more kick? Bring the hot sauce to the table.
