Quesabirria Quesadillas

Quesabirria Quesadillas are fried flour tortillas filled with tender beef birria and Oaxaca cheese. Serve with a beef broth for dipping.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 recipe Beef Birria
• 8 ten-inch flour tortillas
• 1 package Oaxaca cheese, shredded
• ½ cup diced red onion
• ½ cup cilantro, chopped
• Sour cream, for serving
• Lime wedges, for serving

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Make the Birria meat the day prior, separating and refrigerating the meat from the sauce.
2. 2Heat the meat and the sauce in two separate saucepans. Melt the fat in the microwave.
3. 3Place a 10-12-inch crepe pan or griddle on to medium heat. Brush liberally with the Birria fat.
4. 4Build the quesadilla by lining one tortilla with Birria meat, Oaxaca cheese, red onion and cilantro. (You could build the quesadilla by placing on a large dinner plate and sliding onto the hot pan to make it easier).
5. 5Once the pan is hot, lift and place the loaded tortilla onto the hot pan. Cover with a second tortilla.
6. 6Cook 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden, then place an upside-down pizza pan or plate over the top and flip.
7. 7Brush more fat on the crepe pan or griddle and slide the quesadilla onto the hot greased pan to cook the other side.
8. 8Again, cook 4-5 minutes until golden, then slide onto a cutting board.
9. 9Cut into six wedges and serve with the heated sauce for dipping, as well as sour cream and lime wedges.
10. 10Optional, top with more chopped red onion and cilantro when serving.
