Birria Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Birria Beef

    In a pot, soak guajillo and ancho chiles in hot water for 15 minutes. Blend with garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, and 1 cup of beef broth until smooth. In a slow cooker, combine beef chuck, blended sauce, remaining beef broth, and bay leaves. Cook on low for 8 hours until tender. Shred beef and set aside.

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer one smashed patty, a slice of aged white cheddar, a tostada, and a generous portion of shredded birria beef. Top with white queso, cilantro, diced onions, and sliced avocado. Finish with the top half of the burger bun.
