Tips

  • To evenly allocate filling across servings, add everything to a bowl and weigh the entire filling weight. Divide by 18 to get the filling per burrito weight.
  • If your Birria looks considerably more liquidy than mine - remove some of the liquid before adding in everything else. It will thicken as it cools.
  • REHEAT INSTRUCTIONS: remove from freezer, wrap in a paper towel, microwave for 2-3 mins, then air fry at 375 for 6-8 minutes to crisp up your tortilla, or pan fry.
