About Birria quesadilla

Birria Quesadilla is a flavorful fusion of classic Mexican cuisine. Originating from the state of Jalisco, birria is a savory, slow-cooked meat stew, traditionally made with goat or beef, marinated in a blend of chili peppers, garlic, herbs, and spices. In this quesadilla variation, tender birria meat is paired with melted Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese, folded into a golden, crispy tortilla, and often served alongside a rich consommé for dipping. Packed with protein from the meat and calcium from the cheese, the dish provides essential nutrients, but it can be high in fat and calories due to the cheese and frying process. While bursting with bold flavors, its nutritional balance can vary based on preparation, making portion control key for maintaining a healthy diet.
