This dish may be known worldwide now, but it originally hails from Chef Santiago's hometown. Birria is a Mexican speciality made with meat that's braised for hours in a flavorful broth, then typically served at special events in the form of tacos. Chef wanted to mix things up and build his rich beef birria into decadent quesadillas packed full of creamy Oaxaca & mozzarella cheeses. To take things over the top, the quesadillas are accompanied by the flavorful broth that the beef cooked in. Served with a creamy avocado sauce and simple red cabbage slaw to cut through all that richness, this is a truly spectacular dish that you will—without a doubt—love.
