Steps to Make Quesabirria Tacos:
- Prepare the Birria: Slow-cook the meat in a mixture of chiles, spices, and aromatics for several hours until tender and easily shreddable.
- Make the Consommé: Strain the broth to create a rich, savory dipping sauce.
- Assemble the Tacos: Dip the tortillas in the consommé, then fill with meat and cheese before folding.
- Cook the Tacos: Grill the tacos in a hot skillet until crispy and the cheese melts.
- Serve: Pair with a side of consommé for dipping, diced onions, and fresh cilantro.
Tips for the Best Quesabirria Tacos:
