What Are Quesabirria Tacos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Quesabirria tacos are the cheesy cousin of traditional birria tacos. Originating from Jalisco, Mexico, birria is a slow-stewed meat\u2014usually beef or goat\u2014infused with dried chiles, spices, and aromatics. In quesabirria form, the meat gets tucked inside a corn tortilla with loads of gooey cheese, then grilled until crispy and served with a side of consomm\u00e9 (the rich broth the meat was cooked in) for dunking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
