Ingredients

Scale

For the Birria Beef

  • 3 lbs beef chuck roast (or short ribs)

  • 3 dried guajillo chiles

  • 2 dried ancho chiles

  • 1 chipotle in adobo

  • 6 garlic cloves

  • 1 white onion, quartered

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

  • 2 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • ½ tsp ground cloves

  • 2 tbsp white vinegar

  • 6 cups beef broth

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • 2 tbsp oil for searing

For the Pizza

  • 1 prepared pizza dough

  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella

  • 1 cup shredded Oaxaca cheese (or Monterey Jack)

  • ½ cup consommé (birria broth)

  • 1 cup shredded birria meat

  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  • Toast & Soak Chiles: Toast dried chiles in a skillet until fragrant. Soak in hot water for 15 minutes.

  • Sear Meat: Season beef with salt and pepper. Sear in a Dutch oven with oil until browned.

  • Blend Sauce: Drain chiles and blend with onion, garlic, tomato paste, chipotle, spices, vinegar, and 1 cup broth.

  • Simmer: Pour sauce and remaining broth over beef. Simmer covered on low for 3 hours (or 1 hr pressure cook).

  • Shred & Strain: Shred beef. Strain the broth to use as consommé.

  • Prep Dough: Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Place on a baking tray or pizza stone.

  • Assemble: Brush dough with consommé. Add mozzarella and Oaxaca cheese. Top with birria, red onions.

  • Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden and bubbling.

 

  • Serve: Top with cilantro and lime juice. Serve with consommé on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Substitute beef with chicken or jackfruit for a twist.

  • Make consommé ahead and refrigerate—it intensifies the flavor.

  • Reheat slices in a skillet to keep the crust crispy.
