Birria Burger

Crunchy Birria Burger

Author Mark & Fey
Course Dinner, Lunch, Sandwich, Tailgate
Keyword Beef, birria, Burgers, Smash burgers
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 8 Oaxaca cheese shredded by hand
  • 1 pound cooked birria local is best but many grocery stores sell this too
  • 2 cups birria cooking liquid aka consomme
  • 4 burger buns
  • Handful of corn tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup salsa verde

Instructions

  • Divide the beef into 4 portions. Form the beef into loosely packed rounds — like a meatball. Set aside while you prep the grill.
  • Heat a grill to two-zone cooking. Toast the burger buns over high heat and then set aside.
  • Heat a large griddle or skillet over direct heat. Add four mounds of Oaxaca cheese and as it begins to melt, top each with the birria. Top with about 2 tablespoons of consomme and cook until the cheese is melted and crispy on the bottom. Remove from the pan and keep warm while you cook the burger patties.
  • Working in batches of two, add two beef rounds to the skillet at a time – season each with salt. Let the burger balls cook until some fat pools at the bottom of the burger. Use a large flat spatula to press down hard on each patty for 2 minutes. The burger should be super thin and have a diameter that is at least two inches wider than the bun (if your pan is too small you may only be able to do one at a time).
  • When the juices in the middle of the burger start to bubble up, flip the burger. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes then top each patty with Oaxaca cheese and consomme, cook until melted.
  • Build the burgers by topping the bottom bun with a burger patty, then the cheese skirted birria, a few chips and some salsa verde before topping with the top bun.
