Step-by-Step Instructions for Birria Grilled Cheese Delight
  1. Begin by placing your shredded birria in a small saucepan over low heat. Pour in the birria consommé and stir gently for about 5-7 minutes until hot.
  2. While the birria warms, shred the Oaxaca cheese and chop the red onion and cilantro.
  3. Take two slices of bread, butter one side of each, layer cheese on the unbuttered side, add birria, then another layer of cheese.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat, place the sandwich in the skillet, and cook for 3-5 minutes until the bottom is golden-brown.
  5. Gently flip the sandwich and grill the other side for another 3-5 minutes.
  6. Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it rest for a minute, slice diagonally, and serve with warm consommé.
