About Quesabirrias
Quesabirrias are a flavorful Mexican dish combining tender, slow-cooked birria beef with melted cheese, all folded into a crispy, golden tortilla. Originating from the state of Jalisco, these tacos are traditionally served with a side of rich consommé for dipping. The filling consists of shredded birria, seasoned with spices like chili, garlic, and cumin, paired with gooey cheese and often garnished with onions, cilantro, and lime. While quesabirrias are rich in protein and calcium from the meat and cheese, they can also be high in saturated fats and sodium, depending on preparation. The crispy tortilla, often griddled with oil, adds additional fat and calories. For a lighter version, consider baking or using less oil during preparation. When enjoyed in moderation and balanced with vegetables or lighter sides, quesabirrias can be a mouthwatering treat that reflects the bold and comforting flavors of Mexican cuisine.
