Quesabirria ('cheese birria') (also called birria tacos[1] or red tacos[2]) is a Mexican dish comprising birria-style cooked beef folded into a tortilla with melted cheese and served with a side of broth (Spanish: consomé) for dipping.

Eater credits Instagram with helping quesabirria go "from a handful of vendors serving a regional specialty to a full-fledged phenomenon."

Instagram and TikTok helped make quesabirria, which is not commonly found at taquerias or Mexican restaurants, a cult food.

[3] In 2019, taqueros in the San Francisco Bay Area took note of the popularity of the dish on social media and began serving it.

"[3] It comprises a corn tortilla with either mozzarella or Chihuahua cheese melted with stewed meat.

[3] Some taqueros serve quesabirria with chopped white onion and cilantro inside the tacos or as a topping.
