The video is a cooking tutorial that demonstrates how to make Mexican birria tacos. The host, who learned the recipe from a friend named Emilio, starts by sharing the marinade recipe, which is key to the flavor of the dish. The meat, short ribs, is marinated for three hours in a mixture of garlic, ginger paste, white onions, tomatoes, chilies, oregano, cumin, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, and cinnamon.
After marinating, the short ribs are cooked until they're tender and the broth is separated from the meat. The consommé is then left to rest overnight to extract the fat, which will be used to fry the tacos. The meat is chopped and set aside to rest in the refrigerator overnight to enhance its flavor.
The green sauce is made by blending tomatillos, garlic, serrano pepper, avocado, salt, and black pepper. The spicy sauce is created by blending tomatillos, onions, garlic, hot spicy chili, cilantro, salt, and black pepper.
The tacos are made by layering the chopped meat, the green sauce, and the spicy sauce in a tortilla made with corn and topped with a special Mexican cheese that can be replaced with mozzarella. The tacos are then fried in the extracted fat from the consommé.
