When people think of birria, the first thing that comes to mind is usually birria tacos — crispy tortillas filled with shredded meat, dipped into rich consommé. And while tacos have made birria famous around the world, this iconic Mexican dish is far more versatile than you might realize.
Thanks to the bold flavor of birria consommé and tender shredded meat, you can create everything from birria ramen to nachos and even pizza. With Spicito Birria Bombs, it’s easier than ever to experiment, because each bomb perfectly seasons 1–4 pounds of meat with 4 cups of water, giving you a foolproof batch of birria that can be used in dozens of recipes.
Here are 10 delicious and creative ways to enjoy birria beyond tacos.
1. Birria Ramen
Fusion food at its best — swap out traditional broth for birria consommé and add noodles, cilantro, onions, and a squeeze of lime. The rich chile-based broth transforms into a hearty ramen experience.
2. Birria Quesadillas
Take melted cheese, fold in shredded birria, and grill until crispy. The consommé becomes the ultimate dipping sauce, making birria quesadillas irresistible.
3. Birria Nachos
Load tortilla chips with melted cheese, shredded birria, jalapeños, crema, and avocado. Top with consommé drizzle or serve it on the side for dipping. Perfect for parties or game day.
4. Birria Pizza
Use consommé reduction in place of pizza sauce, then top with birria, onions, and Oaxaca cheese. A crispy crust with smoky, tender meat brings together the best of both worlds.
5. Birria Fries
Crispy French fries loaded with birria, cheese, crema, and salsa create a Mexican twist on loaded fries that will keep everyone coming back for more.
6. Birria Burritos
Wrap birria, rice, beans, and cheese in a large flour tortilla, then grill it until golden brown. Dip into consommé for a rich, satisfying meal.
7. Birria Empanadas
Golden, flaky empanadas stuffed with birria make the perfect appetizer or grab-and-go snack. Serve them with consommé for dipping or salsa on the side.
8. Birria Grilled Cheese
Take your comfort food up a notch. A birria grilled cheese sandwich dipped into consommé blends gooey melted cheese with smoky, chile-based broth.
9. Birria Enchiladas
Roll tortillas with birria, top with consommé as the sauce, and bake with cheese until bubbling. It’s a fresh take on a Mexican classic.
10. Birria Breakfast Hash
Start your morning strong with potatoes, onions, peppers, and shredded birria topped with a fried egg. The consommé brings everything together with bold flavor.
