🍽️ What is it?
Beef or goat braised for hours in a broth with guajillo, ancho, and pasilla chilies. Served three ways: crispy tacos (quesabirrias with cheese), soft tacos with consommé for dipping, or as a full bowl of stew.
✨ Why it's amazing
The collagen melts into the broth, creating a deep stew layered with chili, garlic, and spices. The tortilla soaks up all that flavor when dipped in the consommé. It's Mexico's hangover cure and a powerhouse breakfast.
