Función Premium
Rich, savory, cheesy, and slightly spicy, with hints of umami and a comforting warmth.
The dominant flavor comes from the slow-cooked birria, typically made with goat or beef, which is braised in a complex blend of dried chiles (such as guajillo, ancho, and pasilla), aromatics (like onion, garlic, and bay leaf), and spices (cumin, oregano, thyme). The cheese, usually Oaxaca or mozzarella, adds a creamy, melty richness that balances the savory and spicy birria. The tortilla, griddled to a crisp, offers a textural contrast and a slight corn flavor. The consommé, or broth, served alongside, intensifies the savory and spicy notes.
Función Premium
Cheese Choice
Oaxaca cheese offers a traditional, stringy melt, while mozzarella provides a more neutral, creamy texture. Experiment to find your preferred cheese.
Tortilla Quality
Use fresh, high-quality corn tortillas that can withstand the moisture from the birria without falling apart. Slightly warming them before griddling helps prevent tearing.
Consommé Enhancement
Garnish the consommé with chopped cilantro, onions, and a squeeze of lime for added freshness and brightness.
Spice Level Adjustment
Adjust the amount of dried chiles in the birria to control the spice level to your liking. Removing the seeds and veins of the chiles reduces the heat.
Dipping Technique
Fully submerge each bite of the Quesabirria into the consommé. This ensures maximum flavor and a satisfyingly juicy experience.
