Description
Birria Pizza Quesadilla is a delicious fusion dish that combines the rich flavors of birria with the cheesy goodness of a quesadilla, topped with fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked birria meat, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Oaxaca cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the shredded birria meat and taco seasoning, stirring to combine. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla.
- On one half of the tortilla, layer 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Oaxaca cheese, and 1/2 cup of the cooked birria meat. Top with a sprinkle of diced onions, tomatoes, and cilantro.
- Fold the tortilla in half to create a quesadilla.
- In the same skillet, cook the quesadilla over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve with avocado slices and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños inside the quesadilla before folding.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the birria meat with sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers, and use a plant-based cheese.
