Instructions
-
Prepare the Birria:
Slow-cook the beef or goat meat in a rich blend of chiles, spices, and aromatics. Let it simmer for several hours until the meat is incredibly tender and easily falls apart. The long, slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld and develop to perfection. ⏳ -
Make the Consommé:
Strain the broth from the cooked meat to create a savory, flavorful consommé. This rich, aromatic broth is essential for dipping your tacos and adding an extra layer of flavor. 🍲 -
Assemble the Tacos:
Dip each tortilla in the consommé to soak up the flavors and give it a beautiful color. Then, add a generous portion of the tender, shredded meat and top with a layer of melted cheese. Fold the tortilla to create your taco. 🌮 -
Cook the Tacos:
Heat a hot skillet or griddle, and grill the tacos until the tortillas become crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey. The perfect balance of crispy exterior and cheesy interior will make each bite irresistible. 🔥 -
Serve:
Serve your quesabirria tacos with a side of consommé for dipping, diced onions, and fresh cilantro for that extra freshness and flavor boost. 🧅🌿
Tips for the Best Quesabirria Tacos

Cast-Iron Skillet: For the crispiest finish, use a cast-iron skillet or griddle to cook your tacos. The heat retention of cast iron helps achieve that crispy perfection. 🍳
