I saw your video earlier today and it made me so hungry. I just went and bought the stuff to make this. This will be my first time trying this!! I can't wait to taste it.
The best advice from this video, Is there unplugging and letting the steam vent naturally in lieu of pushing the vent right away and making a mess , this is what deters me from using the instapot , wow thanks ! And going to do this recipe,thanks again
Yes it would make a mess if done right away. I've made many messes when I first started using the instant pot. But I love making meals with it, set it and forget it cooking
Today is May 10 and this is my second time cooking this recipe and I like to use Chuck Roast meat and my daughter and granddaughter loved it , thank you young man , i have 5 grandsons all adults and I wish they know how to cook like you ! GOD bless you and thanks again for your recipes !
Thanks for the receipe! I have an instant pot and didn't know I can make barbacoa in it. My Mexican mother made her signature sauce she's made for 30 years and that's what we used, she marinades the meat on it overnight, but followed the rest of you receipe and it came out divine! 💖🙏🏻😍 We eat the broth (consommé) with lime, chopped onions and cilantro, and crushed chile de arbol salsa along with the tacos 🤤🤤
Ok I saw this video yesterday, I made this for dinner today and WOW!!!! It was so delicious 😋 everyone loved it, even my picky eaters lol thank you for this recipe 😃
I follow other cooking channels but my man you make things much easier from the details to just clicking the page and getting any info, it’s much appreciated from a family Man/Member that likes to cook 🧑🍳. I hope I can make more dishes that you have here on your channel mucho gracias ☺️
I use beef cheeks in my instant pot but I cut off a lot of the fat beforehand and only use 3/4 cup of beef broth. I also cook for 2hrs with natural release. It's still a bit wet like an overcooked pot roast but if you drain it and saute the meat afterwards I think it's perfect. I also braise the meat before pressure cooking and I cook it South Texas style so it only has salt and pepper and that's it.
Thank you! I have 3lbs in my fridge and I was wondering how to do it other than a regular pot roast. I wanted something Mexicanish (soy mexicana) and spicy!! I’ll be making it with chile de árbol and guajillo.
Thank you for adding that it’s not spicy. I like spice but not everyone does. But Chile flavors are also good enough for me so I want some type of spice flavor. I also couldn’t remember which Chile’s aren’t spicy. Don’t really use guajillo like that. So thank you!!!
I hope you enjoy them Michael, some of these cooks are packed with flavor. Thank you brotha, I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Be safe my friend.
Thank you I made it yesterday and it was delicious 🤤 them tacos flew in seconds 🙌🏼my boys even asked Mom are there any left overs for tomorrow ? 😍BINGO
Awesome Kirby! I really love how an Instant Pot tenderizes roasts. I freeze the leftover broth for the next roast by adding different spices to it makes an entire new meal! Fantastic Barbacoa Kirby!
the tacos were really yummy Joe. That broth has a lot of flavor. I use it with left overs or add a couple scoops to a dish. It add a nice flavor to what you are cooking. Thanks brotha, hope your having a great weekend.
I hope you and the loved ones enjoy it Pooja, the meat has such a wonderful flavor. It can be plated, put in a taco or even sandwich. How ever you use it, comes out yummy. Let me know what you think of it. Also use that broth, it is packed with flavor. Thank you Pooja, enjoy!
This recipe looks awsome but how does it work with out additional liquid, I feel like this would set of the burn sensor without more, can i add bone broth?
These were some good tacos Felix, let me know how they come out. I take that same meat and put in in fried corn tortilla shells and it makes some good hard shelled tacos also. Thank you brotha, have a great weekend and be safe.
That beef had an awesome flavor bro. Im going to follow up with this video and make birria fried tacos next week. Its some good stuff brotha. Thank you Pickles, I hope all is well my friend.
its delicious Jules, this one makes so many things out of it. I am going to follow up with this video and do Birria. I will be making quesadillas with the meat and dipping the quesadilla in the broth. Its gonna be yummy!
Uh.... YUM! 😋 I'm making this for sure! Love your videos... I've been binge watching them... I just found out about your channel today from Smokin and Grilling wit AB! You two guys are my go to channels... 💕
Thank you Meeshell, this is really easy to make and the flavors are so wonderful. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. I appreciate that, AB and I are good friends. He is an awesome person.
@@CookingwithKirby I agree... AB is AWESOME! You guys should open a restaurant together... 🤔😁 I'm making your Barbacoa this weekend for family... I can't wait! I live in Arizona so we have a few mexican markets... I found the Amor hot sauce at Los Altos Ranch Market just last night! So I'm ready to make the Shrimp cocktail. I love Mexican food... all the marinades, sauces and salsa's. I'm so excited to learn from you... Your wife must feel fortunate to have you cooking up all those yummy dishes! Michele
Just made this and it came out amazing. Thank you so much! As a college student’s it’s really nice to make something to use throughout the week, and with how much food this makes and how easy it is to reheat, I can’t be any happier with finding this video!!!
Hi MsNala, I hope all is well my friend. This recipe is so yummy, it goes great on many things. I love it with beans and rice as well. I hope you and the loved ones enjoy it. Thank you and stay safe.
This looks great im fixing to give it a try. All I could find is new Mexico chilies hopefully they will be ok. Also wondering if this would make a good filling for tamales. I'd like to try my hand at those sometime.... keep those good recipes coming. I have my fat pants on...
Be careful with New Mexico chili, those can be spicy. If you used a lot, it will pack a punch. I use like 1 or 2 with 4 California or guajillo chili's. Yes this can be used for tamales. The recipe is very similar. I hope you enjoy it, its got some really good flavor.
@@CookingwithKirby thanks sounds like I just need one of those peppers. If its too spicy my wife won't touch it. I've never used the dried peppers and not really sure of all of the different ones. Thanks
Add some chile de arbols, those will give it a nice kick. I usually dont add the spicy stuff because of my kids. That is why I always have a good salsa on hand.
It sure can, that juice is packed with flavor Jessica. You can add ingredients also, it doesn't hurt to experiment. I usually dip it, but that would be an awesome base for a stew.
Hi Dahling, birria doesn't have tomato in it. Honestly the first time I tried birria tacos, I thought it was just barbacoa. It's a trend, I know. I grew up on birria made with lamb or goat. but birria made with beef is common in the states. but the difference is barbacoa has tomato and birria doesnt.
@@CookingwithKirby ~ Your recipe for Barbacoa, is not what I have seen in Tex-Mex (the Valley) cooking but, maybe I have been calling it by the name Birra. Tex-Mex barbacoa is meat (beef tongue and cheek), salt, black pepper, garlic and sometimes but not always a couple of bay leaves. What area would you say this recipe is from? I am always very interested in how a recipe progresses just a few miles down the road. Your version looks amazing and I look forward to trying it.
I have some recipes that are keto friendly. Honestly alot of them you can customize to make it work for keto. I was on it last year. Lost over 30lbs in 90 days. I hope you enjoy them, some of my recipes I make often. Thanks brotha, Have a great weekend as well.
👏👏👏😍 A lovely way to begin a winters morning, is cooking videos by #KirbyBanderas. ❤ Great tips for achieving tenderness. Thanks Kirby! Btw, like the Wolverine claws too!😊
You needed to do was dip that taco into the broth first then bite or dip the whole tortilla in the broth then throw it on the comal and make your taco. I'm just jealous bro, great video and cook!
It comes out just as good, only difference set it to high for 4 hours or 8 on low. That broth will not disappoint, I hope you and the loved ones enjoy it Larry.
Agree, I make birria using this same recipe, just keeping all of the juices. Im in Imperial County in So Cal, I live about 20 mins from Mexicali in Baja Cal.
Chipotle peppers i usually use in combination with ancho chiles and guajillo. I usually make an adobo sauce with it. I usualy put that on chicken or pork.

Very nice food
It sure is yummy, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you
Hey Kirby, how long do you boil the peppers for?
Hi Lenny, about 15 to 20 minutes just until they are soft.
Cooking with Kirby Thanks, brother. Appreciate the Keto angle on some of your recipes.
Can’t wait to try some of your breakfast recipes. It’s good to think outside the box and change it up. Thanks again, Kirby. Have a great day.
I have some recipes that are keto friendly. Honestly alot of them you can customize to make it work for keto. I was on it last year. Lost over 30lbs in 90 days. I hope you enjoy them, some of my recipes I make often. Thanks brotha, Have a great weekend as well.
The only guajillo chili pods I found are in a package. Is that ok?
Yes that is fine

Birria is next, ill have to get you to the house for that one. Live taste test lol.
Damn brother that looks damn good. Been looking for a good Barbacoa recipe for awhile..
Gonna put that in tomorrow.. "Crock Pot" though..
Thanks man..
It comes out just as good, only difference set it to high for 4 hours or 8 on low. That broth will not disappoint, I hope you and the loved ones enjoy it Larry.
Can make some great stuff in an Instant Pot
It sure can John, Im working on some recipes as we speak.
Amazing! I cant wait to try my Instapot! Lookin good over there! Send me a 6pk of tacos please!
6pk lunch special lol, thanks bro this has the flavor. Makes some good tacos.
Sir can you do carnitas next time 😊
I have it written down, Ill pick up the stuff on my next grocery pick up.
I unplug mine and release the steam outdoors
Good recipe!!! Let’s do a cooking challenge 😉💕
Thank you Dani, what did you have in mind for a challenge? I know a lot of people are doing them right now.
Cooking with Kirby I messaged you on Instagram 💕
That shit looks bomb babe
Can you come cook for me! 😂
Maybe one day Jessica, Thank you and be safe.
Richard Jefferson with a latino accent
That looks more like birria 😆
birria is made with goat
@@CookingwithKirby if you use adobo becomes Birria whether is goat or beef. De que parte eres? 😆
Agree, I make birria using this same recipe, just keeping all of the juices. Im in Imperial County in So Cal, I live about 20 mins from Mexicali in Baja Cal.
@@CookingwithKirby Yeah you agree because that’s what you made. What part of Mexico are you from?
Wrong; 40 Minutes is best then kt slow releaass the pressure.
Not necessarily, how I use my equipment and if it works for me. It is fine with me. Use your stuff how you feel fits you.
Cooking with Kirby also true; it does look delicious. What do you think about using chipotle peppers or a combination of them and what you used ?
Chipotle peppers i usually use in combination with ancho chiles and guajillo. I usually make an adobo sauce with it. I usualy put that on chicken or pork.
That looks like half a tablespoon of cumin not half a teaspoon
half tablespoon is too much
