Birria Ramen 🍜
Classic birria is usually enjoyed on its own or tucked comfortably into a taco. When I tasted the birria ramen dish at Disney, it was LOVE at first bite! In this instant, I decided to put my own spin on the dish and the rest is history. Now, I know my birria isn’t exactly what you'd find in a traditional recipe (for the record, no me gusta con canela, ok?). But I guarantee it will impress!

Instructions
- Season the chuck on all sides and sear until well browned. Remove from the pan and add in tomato paste and cook for 3 min. Add in 2 cups of the beef stock.
- In another pot, add the onion, tomato, garlic, all chilies and bay leaf. Coat in water and simmer for 10 min until soft.
