- Chef Merito® Birria Marinade | Authentic Mexican Flavor | 14-15 Uses | Add Water or Broth | Mild Heat | Perfect for Birria Tacos & Stews | Made in USA | Trusted Since 1985 |

This has an excellent taste and can be used in a number of recipes, but be aware that it’s noticeably sweet and has some heat. It also makes a great dipping sauce for tacos, enchiladas,and the like.

Gosh, this sauce is incredible for adding flavor to my refried bean recipe. It's actually time to order this item again. Atrue quality product.

Do you have some beef roast in the fridge? Do you have an insta-pot (High Pressure Cooker)? Do you have Chef Merito Birria Marinade??? Then you have everything you need to make instant Birria!! We just tried this over the weekend. (Sorry, no pictures) Had about 3 lbs of shoulder roast and placed it into the instapot. Added about a 3rd of a can of Birria Marinade and equal amount of water. Set it to medium for about 1.5 hours and TADDA* Birria was done!! Just went in there with a couple of forks to pull all the meat apart and let it sit in it's juices. Made the whole house smell like a Mexican restaurant! On a hot cast iron pan, I melted some bacon grease (can use pork lard, beef tallow or butter) and brought it up to medium high. I dipped a tortilla in the Birria juice and fried one side, flipped, added cheese and and Birria meat into it and folded, flipped one more time and serve!... Best Birria tacos I have had in a long long time!! 😎👍

So I was trolling TikTok and getting depressed with political posts and dances I can no longer do when I was hit with an ad for Biria Taco balls. Since I trust TikTok marketplace about the same as I do my high school friends that failed science and now give medical advice; I searched Amazon for a real option. I decided to buy this little gem and try it. I decided to test it on a cheap piece of pork loin I got on BOGO from my local Publix (FL!). I cut up 1.5 sweet onions, diced the 2lb loin into manageable sizes, 1/2 the container, and about 1.5 cups of water (could've done 2). Placed the crock pot on "set it and forget it" for 5 hours. He's my review: Smell/Look 5/5 The sauce looked potent and flavorful right out of the plastic jar. The robust color told me this was made by a 65yr old nana from Mexico. After about 2 hours, I couldn't stand it and had to do a full sniff test 👃 ... I wish this was a cologne. Taste 5/5* Wait ... What was that? That wasn't supposed to be so sweet and flavorful. I'm assuming I put to many sweet onions in the batch because the taste was sweet and delicious (not what I was expecting). I thought someone tampered with the sauce but then I remembered the crap-ton of onions I added which might have adjusted the DNA. I went ahead and added oil to a hot pan, dipped my soft shell in the heavenly juices, added some meat, fresh ground white sharp cheese, waited a minute, folded, and patiently awaited greatness. I did this 3x and then created a consume bowl to dip my prizes in. WHOLLY F***BALLS BATMAN ... Delicious 😋. Value ??/?? Who cares! I ran straight to these comments like a paparazzi with a secret so I could share the "tea". Damn this was good. Then I placed an order for 3 more jars. Summary: This was so damn simple and flavorful that I can't wait to try this on a real roast. What did I learn? 1/2 jar + 2 cups of water for 2lbs of meat. Add more water if you want more drip. Add celantro and raw onions for texture. Add a splash of Sriracha, less onion to reduce sweetness and add a kick. Enjoy!

Absolutely love the flavor

Ok the flavor is a 10/10 it tastes so good! Very easy to use, I used Short Ribs instead of a Chuckroast and it was really good! I also threw in some Tomatoes, onion, cilantro and a stick a cinnamon and it’s the bomb! I’d also say it’s not too salty Ok so the box it was shipped in was fine, HOWEVER something needs to be done with the seals on the lid it looks like it was poured into the jar without having the edges cleaned before putting the seal ontop of it. I’m lucky the stickers I had in with the box didn’t get sauce on them otherwise I’d be super livid.

The seal was open and it had crust from where I guess it leaked or something. It smelled good and I was wanting to try it but the seal being open just threw me off. I want to repurchase and try again tho.

Ok so I am really picky about Birria being authentic tasting. I used half of this jar with 6 pounds of meat, half an onion, three garlic cloves, one bay leaf and one stick of cinnamon 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper, 2 cups of beef broth, and 2 cups of beef stock and let me tell you this came out amazing. 100% I let it cook in the crockpot for 12 hours on low. I got nothing but good compliments and people asking me for the recipe. This was a hit at my Super Bowl party. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I haven't cooked with it yet but we did taste it and it's very tasty, the seal was intact and it arrived quickly I'm looking forward to cooking it with it soon

Excellent for beef birria tacos. It is highly concentrated.

Used this with a beef blade AAA it turned out amazing . It’s salty but adding water as it cooks helps

I LOVE this stuff. It has become a big staple in our home. Yum!

Came broken. Sauce everywhere. Ruined everything. Can’t get a refund or return on it
