Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Birria

    If not using pre-cooked birria, cook the beef with spices, onions, and garlic until tender. Shred the meat and reserve the broth.

  2. 2

    Roast the Poblanos

    Roast the poblanos over an open flame until the skin is charred. Place in a bag for a few minutes, then peel off the skin. Slice the poblanos into strips.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesabirria

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place a corn tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese, add a portion of shredded beef birria, roasted poblanos, and chopped onions. Top with another tortilla.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesabirria

    Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve with Jus

    Serve hot with a side of birria jus for dipping.
