To make the consommé: In a saucepan over high heat, stir together beef birria sauce, chicken broth, carrots, celery, and cabbage. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, occasionally scraping the caramelized bits (fond) from the sides with the hot liquid, until the vegetables are tender and the consommé reaches the desired thickness, about 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm while you make the tacos.

To make the tacos: Heat some reserved beef fat in a large skillet over medium heat until melted. Add two tortillas and flip with a spatula until well coated in fat. Toast briefly until golden brown, then top with Monterey Jack cheese and some shredded beef.

Drizzle each taco with about 1 tablespoon of consommé liquid, then add some white onion and cilantro.

Fold the tacos in half and press gently. Continue cooking, flipping back and forth, until browned and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining tacos, adding more fat if needed.

Ladle the consommé into a bowl and garnish with any remaining white onion and cilantro. Squeeze lime wedges into the consommé and serve with the tacos.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
