Quesabirria Tacos – The Best Way to Use Leftover Birria

If you’ve made birria, chances are you have leftovers, and there’s no better way to use them than in quesabirria tacos. These tacos are a perfect mix of crispy, cheesy, and juicy, packed with slow-cooked birria beef and fried until golden in its own rich consommé.

This recipe makes the most of the Cool Chile Birria Kit, giving you bold, deep flavours with minimal effort. The key to the perfect quesabirria is dipping the tortillas in the birria broth before frying, which creates a crispy, flavour-packed shell that holds all that cheesy, meaty goodness.

Serve with a side of extra consommé for dipping, fresh lime, and chopped coriander for the ultimate birria taco experience.
