Bold, chile-rich birria made simple—your tacos just leveled up.

Meet the shortcut that doesn’t taste like one. Our Birria Taco Spice delivers the rich, chile-forward depth of traditional birria—without hunting down a dozen dried peppers or babysitting a pot all day.

Built from a layered blend of toasted chiles, warm spices, and savory aromatics, this is your base for deeply flavoured birria tacos, dipping broth, braised meats, and beyond. It’s bold, balanced, and designed to bloom beautifully in both quick cooks and long simmers.

Remember - this is so new that Lex hasn't gotten the recipe on the website yet. So, if you want the full recipe, DM "birria" to @fromlexspantry on instagram to get the full Birria recipe - from braising the meat to finishing the tacos to craving more! (or leave a chat request below - but that's slower!)

Whether you're cooking for a Tuesday dinner or a full-on taco spread, this is a blend to reach for again and again.

  • Spice Storage

    Spices, rubs and spice blends, should be stored in a dry, cool, dark place and used quickly to get the most flavour from them.

    Ground spices typically lose their freshness and are often past their peak in 6 months.
