Preparation of Buttered Grilled Birria

 Cheese Sandwiches

Ingredients:

• 500 grams of birria meat (you can use pre-cooked or grilled Mexican-style beef)
• 8 slices of toast bread (preferably white or sourdough bread)
  
  
• 2 tablespoons of butter (for spreading on the bread)
• 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese or a Mexican cheese blend
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 cup birria sauce (you can use the red sauce from cooking the birria)
• 1 teaspoon ground chili pepper (optional, depending on preference)
• 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

                                 -Preparation:

1. Prepare the Birria Meat:

   • If you don't have ready-made birria, you can cook beef slowly with traditional Mexican spices (such as cumin, chili powder, garlic, thyme, cinnamon, and vinegar), then shred the meat after cooking to get a soft texture.
   • Save a bit of the red sauce from cooking the meat to use later.

2. Heat the Meat:

   • In a skillet over medium heat, add a little vegetable oil or butter, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
   • Add the shredded birria meat to the skillet with the ground chili pepper, and stir until the meat is heated and absorbs the flavors of the onion and garlic.
   • Add 1/2 cup of birria sauce and stir until the meat is fully coated with the sauce. Let it cook for a few minutes to soak in the flavors.

3. Prepare the Sandwiches:

   • In a small bowl, melt the butter over low heat if it's solid.
   • Spread a generous amount of butter on one side of each slice of bread, ensuring all corners are covered for even browning.

4. Assemble the Sandwiches:

   • On the unbuttered side of the bread, spread a layer of shredded cheddar cheese and some mozzarella for a rich, cheesy texture.
   • Add a portion of the hot birria meat on top of the cheese. Try to keep the portions balanced for an even taste.
   • Add an extra layer of cheese on top of the meat for more melt-in-your-mouth goodness whencooked.

5. Grilling:

   • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
   • Place the sandwiches on the skillet, buttered side down.
   • Let the sandwiches cook for a few minutes until the bottom turns golden and crispy, then flip them to cook the other side until both sides are golden and the cheese is fully melted.

6. Serving:

• Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a cutting board.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the sandwiches diagonally in half, showcasing the melted cheese and delicious birria meat.
• Serve the sandwiches hot, with extra birria sauce or your favorite Mexican dipping sauce like guacamole or salsa.
• Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor.
