Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough or 2 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded birria beef
- 1 cup birria consommé
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions
- Warm shredded birria in a skillet with 1/4 cup consommé until heated through and juicy.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Roll out pizza dough onto a baking sheet or place two tortillas on a sheet pan for a thinner crust.
- Brush the crust lightly with consommé for added flavor.
- Mix pizza sauce with 2 tablespoons consommé and spread a thin layer over the crust.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the surface.
- Distribute warm birria evenly on top without overloading the center.

Notes
For a crispier crust bake on a preheated pizza stone. Adjust the amount of consommé depending on how saucy you prefer your pizza. Chicken or pork birria works beautifully as a substitute for beef.
