- 4 cups shredded beef (birria) prepared
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Add desired amount of shredded beef (birria).Top with onion and cilantro then fold over tortilla with a spatula and serve with a side of birria broth for dipping.
For the shredded beef
Get a high-quality beef round and cut into 2 to 3- inch squares. Marinate the squares in a blended sauce of chile guajillo, garlic, salt, and other preferred seasonings for 4 hours. Transfer to a large pot and slow boil for 3 hours. The broth is built from this cooking process and is used in making the quesa tacos. Shred the beef with two forks when fully cooked.
