Ingredients
- 8 lb Beef Chuck Roast (cut into large chunks for searing)
- 1 package Birria Bombs (pre‑packaged birria seasoning mix, use as directed on package)
- 12 cup Water (filtered; enough to just cover the meat)
- 1 tsp Salt (optional, to taste)
- 20 piece Corn Tortillas (warm before serving)
- 1 cup White Onion (finely chopped for topping)
- 0.5 cup Cilantro (chopped for topping)

Instructions
Prepare the Beef
Trim excess fat, cut the 8 lb beef chuck roast into large, bite‑size chunks and pat dry with paper towels.
Time: PT5M
Season Lightly
Sprinkle the meat pieces with 1 tsp salt (optional) and set aside.
Time: PT2M
Sear the Meat
Heat a large skillet over medium‑high heat, add a thin layer of oil, and sear the beef chunks on all sides until deep brown, about 15 minutes.
Time: PT15M
Temperature: Medium‑high
Transfer to Pressure Cooker
Place the seared meat into the pressure cooker.
Time: PT5M
Add Water and Birria Bombs
Add 8 cups water, then more water until the meat is just covered (total about 12 cups). Drop the Birria Bomb package into the pot.
Time: PT2M
Pressure Cook
Seal the cooker, bring to high pressure and cook for 2 hours (the maximum your cooker allows).
Time: PT2H
Release Pressure and Check Tenderness
Allow natural pressure release for about 10 minutes, then carefully quick‑release any remaining pressure. Open the lid and test the meat; it should fall apart easily.

Shred the Beef
Remove the meat chunks and shred them with two forks until fully pulled apart.
Time: PT10M
Return Meat to Consommé

Warm the Tortillas
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and warm each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.

Temperature: Medium
Assemble and Serve
Fill each tortilla with a generous spoonful of shredded birria, top with chopped onion and cilantro, squeeze lime over, and serve with a small bowl of the hot consommé for dipping.
