Is the Birria Bomb spicy? 

Authentic traditional, Birria is not very spicy. However we find the consommé to be more spicy than the meat removed from the consommé.

The Bomb does have Guajillo chiles, Ancho chiles and Arbol chiles as well. When the meat is in a tortilla with cheese we find it suitable for most children without being too spicy. If you'd like to increase the heat, then consume more of the consommé. To spice it up, feel free to add salsa verde to your completed dish!

Do I need to use an Instant Pot or can I use a slow cooker or stove top?

We prefer the Instant Pot because the technology is terrific and the pressure from the pressure cooker makes the dish so quickly. The slow cooker is also convenient and can be used on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 hours. The stove top can be used as well; however, we suggest searing the chuck roast meat prior to cooking on the stove top. 

Should I sear the meat first? 

There is no need to sear the meat in the Instant Pot or the slow cooker; however, we do suggest you add salt and pepper and sear the meat when cooking on the stove top. This will help seal in the flavor when using this cooking method. 

Are the Bombs gluten-free?

These Bombs are made in our own facility based in the United States and we do not use any ingredients that contain gluten. However, we are not third-party tested and therefore cannot say that we are 100% guaranteed to be gluten-free.
