Hey, Foodies! Are you looking for a new recipe for you tacos? because you're tired of your usual tacos recipe? Because I will share to you my favorite recipe for my taco, The birria quesatacos. Birria quesatacos are a delicious fusion of traditional Mexican birria stew and cheesy quesadillas. This is rich in flavor and spices that will satisfy to your taste.

Ingredients:

For the Birria:

• 2 lbs (about 900g) beef chuck roast or brisket, trimmed of excess fat
• 2 dried guajillo chilies
• 2 dried ancho chilies
• 1 onion, quartered
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 bay leaves

For the Quesatacos:

• Corn tortillas
• Shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese
• Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
• Diced onions, for garnish
• Lime wedges, for serving
• Salsa or hot sauce, for serving

Instructions:
1. Prepare the Birria:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
• Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chilies. Place them in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for about 15 minutes to soften.
• In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked chilies, quartered onion, garlic cloves, ground cumin, dried oregano, smoked paprika, ground cloves, salt, pepper, and a splash of the chili soaking water. Blend until smooth, adding more water if needed to create a thick sauce.
• Cut the beef chuck roast or brisket into large chunks and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil and sear the beef pieces until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
• In the same pot, add the chili sauce and cook for a few minutes until fragrant. Return the beef to the pot, along with the beef broth and bay leaves.
• Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and falls apart easily.

2. Prepare the Quesatacos:

• Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat.
• Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place a corn tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla.
• Add some shredded beef on top of the cheese, then fold the other half of the tortilla over to cover the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
• Cook the quesataco for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey.
• Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and shredded beef.

3. Serve:

• Serve the birria quesatacos hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro and diced onions.
• Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos, and offer salsa or hot sauce for dipping or drizzling.
• Enjoy your delicious birria quesatacos!

This sounds like a fusion masterpiece! Using birria in Lasagna Roll-ups is such a creative idea. I can already imagine the layers of tender beef, melted cheese, and savory sauce. Can't wait to impress my friends and family with this dish!
