Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Birria by cooking your choice of meat slowly in a mixture of spices and birria broth for about 2-3 hours until tender.
  2. Soften the tortillas in a large skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or microwave them for 20-30 seconds.
  3. Assemble the enchiladas by placing a generous amount of shredded birria meat and a sprinkle of cheese in the center of each warmed tortilla.
  4. Bake the enchiladas in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes, until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  5. Garnish and serve the enchiladas topped with chopped onion, cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
