Equipment
- skillet Nonstick preferred for best results
- spatula
- small bowls For consommé serving
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1–1½ cups shredded birria meat (beef, goat, or chicken)
- 1–1½ cups Chihuahua cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup white onion, finely diced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1–2 tbsp cooking oil or butter
- 1–2 cups birria cooking liquid (strained)

Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush one side of a tortilla with oil or butter and place it in the skillet, oil-side down, until it begins to get golden.
- Spread shredded birria meat evenly on half of the tortilla, sprinkle shredded Chihuahua cheese generously, and fold the tortilla to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese melts. Remove from skillet and let rest 1 minute.
