Birria Grilled Cheese

Birria grilled cheese by @brandongouveia is a fusion delight combining the rich savory flavors of Mexican birria with the comforting, gooey classic grilled cheese sandwich.

INGREDIENTS
3 pounds chuck roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic minced
4 Roma tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons canned chipotle peppers
½ large yellow onion, thinly sliced
10 dried guajillo peppers, seeds and stems removed
5 arbol chiles peppers
6 cups beef broth, plus more for braising if needed
5 bay leaves
2 tablespoons beef bouillon
3 tablespoons chili powder
½ tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1½ tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon peppercorns
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
1 cinnamon stick
Sourdough bread loaf, sliced
Cheddar cheese, slices
Oaxaca cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, for grilled cheese
½ a yellow onion, diced, for sandwich
Cilantro, roughly chopped

PREPARATION

1. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the meat sear on all sides, until browned and a crust has formed. Remove beef and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add garlic, tomatoes, chipotle peppers, and onions and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the seared beef back in, along with the guajillo and arbol peppers, beef broth, and al
4. Next, add in your seared beef, chili peppers, beef broth, bay leaves, chili powder, smoked paprika, thyme, cumin, peppercorns, oregano and cinnamon stick. Stir.
5. Cover and simmer on low heat for 2 hours, until meat is falling apart. Remove the meat and vegetables, leaving the broth in the pot. Blend vegetables, then stir back into the broth. Shred beef and add back into the broth.
6. Melt butter on a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Add two slices of bread down. Place two slices of cheddar cheese and two slices of Oaxaca cheese on each slice of bread.
7. Add shredded beef on the bread, followed by some of the sauce sauce, onions, and cilantro. Allow cheese to melt, and bread to get toasty, then fold up the sandwiches.
8. Serve with more broth for dipping.
9. Enjoy!

Melt*
If tuna and cheese is a melt, so is this.

Wrong kind of chilis, also forgot to toast them dehydrated before adding them, also birria ain’t traditionally made with goat meat what tf are you on💀

Edit: wrong cheese, too. Might look delicious but it’s a disgrace calling this birria.
