Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Birria

    If not already cooked, slow-cook the birria meat until tender. Shred the meat and mix with some of the consommé. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little cooking oil. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle with cheese, add a generous portion of shredded birria, and top with more cheese. Place another tortilla on top.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadillas

    Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, another 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat, cut into wedges, and serve with chopped onion, cilantro, lime wedges, and a small bowl of consommé for dipping.
