A little info from our friend Google:
Quesabirria is a popular Mexican street food dish that combines a traditional slow-cooked tender meat (birria) with a melted cheese quesadilla inside a folded tortilla, served with a side of savory broth (consommé) for dipping.
Origin:
🍖 The Meat:
Traditionally made with slow-braised goat meat (birria de chivo) in Jalisco, Mexico, modern and viral versions—especially in Tijuana and the United States—frequently use beef (such as chuck roast, short rib, or brisket) seasoned with dried chiles and spices.
🧀 The Cheese:
Stuffed with a generous amount of melting cheese like Oaxaca, Chihuahua, or mozzarella.
🌮 The Tortilla: Typically a corn (or occasionally flour) tortilla that is dipped into the fat or red-stained broth of the stew before being griddled to a crispy finish.
🥣 The Consommé: A cup of the rich, warm braising broth served on the side for dipping the taco.
🥗 Garnishes: Commonly topped with fresh chopped white onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
🇲🇽 Ancestry: The underlying stew, birria, originated in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, dating back centuries.
• The Taco Evolution: The specific quesabirria hybrid emerged more recently in Tijuana, Mexico, before exploding into widespread popularity via social media. You can now find quesabirria ramen, pizza, quesadillas, eggrolls … 😋
