Birria Taco FAQ

Is it gluten-free and allergy-friendly?

Yes. All of our products are vegan and gluten-free. They are also all nut-free, dairy-free, and preservative-free.

Note: if your allergies are severe, we do work out of a shared kitchen, with dedicated equipment.

What is Birria Taco Spice made of?

Birria Taco is a bold and rich favourite: Guajillo Chili, Smoked Paprika, Garlic, Ancho Chili, Kosher Salt, Onion, Bay leaf, Cumin, Sugar, Coriander, Black Pepper, Marjoram, Cinnamon, Oregano, Cloves, Chipotle, Allspice, Mint, Thyme. No fillers—just punchy, complex flavour that elevates your beef!

What do you use Birria Taco Spice on?

Steaks (ribeye, striploin), burgers, ribs, chicken, salmon, potatoes, even roasted mushrooms. Dry rub before grilling or sprinkle as a finishing seasoning- works hot or cold. Some of our customers use it on their popcorn too.

How much Birria Taco Blend do I use?

If you are doing a full batch of Birria braised beef and broth, you will use the whole package with 1.5kg of beef. Otherwise, we recommend 1tsp - 1Tbsp per pound of meat, depending on how much flavour you want to add.

Does Birria Taco Seasoning work for anything else?

Absolutely—it's a grilling MVP for burgers, ribs, chicken wings, salmon, pork chops, roasted potatoes, and even grilled corn. Dry rub or finishing sprinkle unlocks savory depth everywhere.

How long does Birra Taco Blend stay fresh?

We fresh grind before we bag it, so it is at maximum aromatics immediately when you buy it, and that will slowly deteriorate over time. That side, if you store it sealed in it's bag in a cool, dark spot, you will continue to get excellent flavour and aroma for 12-18 months. (And honestly, it's still great 2 years in... just not as great)

How should I store it?

Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture and heat. That helps preserve both the flavours and aroma.
