Ingredients
- 4 5-inch corn or flour tortillas
- ⅔ cup Jalisco-Style Birria shredded
- ⅔ cup shredded cheese such as asadero, Oaxaca, or quesadilla
- Salsita Tapatía or salsa of your choice
To Prepare
- Heat a large non-stick sauté pan or comal over medium heat. Add two tortillas and top with shredded cheese and a generous scoop of shredded birria. Cover with the remaining two tortillas.
- Heat until the tortillas on the bottom become lightly toasted and cheese starts melting. With the help of a spatula, flip to the other side and let it heat and crisp a bit. I like to wait until the cheese oozes out, browns and crisps a little! Transfer to a plate and slice in half or quarters. Serve with salsita tapatía or salsa of your choice.

what is Birria? Meat, cheese?

Birria is meat, then you make a quesadilla and stuff it with birria and it becomes a “birriadilla” 😉

I think the instructions describe that the tortilla layers stay flat when they are served, like a quesadilla in the USA.
The recipe photo shows them folded over onto each other (I think).
Which is the correct way to serve them?

To be honest, you can do either way; folded they look more like a traditional Mexican quesadilla made with Birria, hence the Birriadillas name 🙂
