Birria Quesadillas

Cook Time 480 minutes

Serves 8

  • 4 pounds beef short ribs
  • Kosher salt, for seasoning
  • 6 quarts chicken broth
  • 8 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 guajllo chili peppers
  • 2 ancho chiles
  • 2-3 chiles de arbol
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • Black pepper, for seasoning

For the quesadillas

  • 16 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded quesadilla cheese, such as Oaxaca
  • 1 small white onion chopped
  • 1 small bunch cilantro, chopped

Season short ribs with kosher salt on all sides. Heat a grill to high heat. Sear the short ribs on sides. Move the seared ribs to a large cooling rack.

 

Lower the grill or smoker temperature to 250 degrees F.

 

Start the broth by combining the chicken stock, garlic, chiles, and spices in a large roasting page. Set the roasting rack in the grill and set the cooling rack of ribs on top of the broth. Close the grill and cook your ribs for 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature reads 165 to 175 degrees F.

 

Remove the pan from the heat and remove the chiles and garlic and puree with a little of the broth. Return the blended mixture to the broth.
Move the ribs from the cooling rack down into the consome and close up the grill again. Braise the ribs for another 2 to 3 hours or until you can easily shred the meat.

 

Remove the short ribs from the braise and shred. Heat a large skillet or griddle.  Dip tortillas in the consome and top with the birria and with a tortilla each before flipping. Cook until the tortilla begins to crisp, then top each taco with onions and cilantro and serve the quesadillas with the consome.
