If you’ve been reading me for a while, you know I love the kind of cooking that takes its time. Of course, I often run out of time too, and quick recipes make up most of my content and what I eat on a daily basis—just like everyone else! But my first love is patient cooking—recipes where time works its magic, slow-simmered dishes that wouldn’t be the same without spending two hours on the stove, homemade pasta shaped one by one, vegetables carefully cut… And this recipe is exactly that! You could make these birria tacos more quickly, because unlike the cuts of meat traditionally used in this dish, tofu and jackfruit don’t need to be tenderized for hours. In fact, I share a quicker version of the recipe with you! But trust me—if you have the chance to let this dish simmer slowly, you won’t regret it. The way the flavors develop is just sublime 💕
