If you ever come across Birria chuck roast at Aldi, you absolutely have to grab it! This cut of meat is perfect for making a rich and flavorful Birria that will impress your taste buds. Here’s how you can make an incredibly easy and delicious Birria using ingredients from Aldi.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • 1 Birria chuck roast (available at Aldi)
  • 1 Vidalia onion, chopped
  • 2 cans of Aldi Rotel (with juice)
  • Garlic powder (instead of minced garlic)
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • Toppings:
    • Shredded lettuce
    • Diced tomatoes
    • Shredded cheddar cheese
    • Sour cream
    • Salsa (homemade or store-bought)
    • Hot sauce
    • Fresh lime

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chuck Roast:
    • Start by placing the Birria chuck roast into your slow cooker. This roast is perfect because it becomes tender and shreds easily after slow cooking.
  2. Add the Aromatics and Liquids:
    • Sprinkle the Vidalia onion over the top of the roast. The natural sweetness of the Vidalia onion will enhance the flavor of the Birria.
    • Add the two cans of Aldi Rotel (including the juice) for a bit of acidity and spice.
    • Use garlic powder (instead of minced garlic) for a quick flavor boost.
    • Pour in about ½ cup beef broth to help create a nice base for the cooking juices.
  3. Slow Cook:
    • Cover the slow cooker and set it on low heat for 8 hours. As the hours pass, the meat will break down and become super tender, easily shredding with a fork.
  4. Shred the Meat:
    • After 8 hours, remove the chuck roast from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred the meat. It should fall apart effortlessly.
  5. Serve and Top:
    • Serve the shredded Birria on your choice of tacos or in a bowl. Top it with fresh shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a generous amount of cheddar cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream for extra creaminess, and don’t forget to finish it off with a squeeze of fresh lime.
    • You can also top it with salsa and hot sauce to add some extra flavor and spice.
