Today we combine the iconic birria tacos with slider buns to create birria sliders. Birria is one of my favorite type of taco which combines braised beef with cheese and the delicious consume. It is surprisingly easy to make at home if you have a few hours to spare. One of the best parts is that you can make it in a large batch which you can serve at parties.
