Prepare the Birria:

- Shred the Meat:
- Remove the beef from the pot and shred it using two forks. Strain the broth and reserve it as consommé for dipping.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Dip a tortilla into the consommé and place it on the skillet.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese on one side of the tortilla, add some shredded meat, and fold the tortilla in half.
- Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy, flipping once.
- Serve:
- Serve the tacos hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and diced onion. Provide a small bowl of consommé on the side for dipping, and lime wedges for squeezing.
Enjoy these irresistible quesabirria tacos, where every bite is a delightful mix of crispy, cheesy, and deeply flavored meat, enhanced by the rich consommé dipping sauce.
