Carroll Shelby's Original Texas Brand Authentic Birria is a 1oz taco seasoning packet crafted to make rich, guajillo-forward birria for stewed meats or plant-based proteins.

Bring taco-stand flavor to your kitchen with this ready-to-use birria seasoning. The mix emphasizes guajillo chiles and traditional Mexican spices so you can simmer or pressure-cook meat, mushrooms, or tofu into tender, deeply flavored birria. Each pack contains no added salt and avoids artificial colors, flavors, MSG and gluten, making it a flexible pantry staple for everyday meals and gatherings.

How do I make birria with this seasoning?

Use one 1oz packet per 2–3 pounds of protein or vegetables depending on your taste. Rehydrate the seasoning in warm water to create a braising sauce, then combine with your choice of protein and cook low and slow or use a pressure cooker for a faster result.

• Brown meat or sautée vegetables first for extra depth.
• Mix packet with 1–2 cups hot water or stock to form a broth.
• Braise 2–3 hours on low or 45–60 minutes in a pressure cooker.
• Shred meat, reserve broth for dipping, and assemble tacos or nachos.

What flavors should I expect from Carroll Shelby's birria mix?

The seasoning centers on guajillo chiles, which bring a fruity, mildly smoky profile with gentle heat. Supporting Mexican spices round out the aroma and provide balanced warmth without overwhelming spiciness, letting the natural essence of beef, lamb, pork, mushrooms, or tofu shine through.

• Primary note: guajillo pepper—smoky, slightly fruity.
• Heat level: mild—less than jalapeño heat.
• Finishes: warm spices that deepen during slow cooking.
• No added salt, artificial colors, flavors, or MSG.

Can I use this seasoning for other dishes besides tacos?

Absolutely — birria seasoning is versatile and works beyond tacos. Use it as a braising rub for stews, a flavor base for chili, or to season roasted vegetables and plant proteins for bowls and nachos.

• Stir into soups or chilis for a smoky, rounded base.
• Season roasted vegetables or tofu before baking.
• Mix into ground meat for tortas or stuffed peppers.
• Reserve braising liquid to create a rich dip for quesabirria or fries.
