• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound pizza dough (room temperature)

1 tablespoon cornmeal

3/4 cup birria consomé stew broth (plus more for serving)

1 cup birria meat (you can use birria recipe I have on here)

1 ½ cups shredded cheese (use Oaxaca cheese, Pepperjack, Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, Mexican blend or other melty cheese)

1-2 jalapeno peppers (sliced (optional)

Garnish. Red pepper flakes, hot sauce, fresh chopped herbs, lime slices or wedges.

Directions

Oven

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 C).

Cornmeal

Spread the cornmeal onto a lightly oiled baking sheet, pizza pan, or cast iron pan.

Dough

Hand roll and pull/stretch the pizza dough carefully into a 12-inch crust, then set onto the baking sheet or pan.

Crisp

Bake for 8-10 minutes to par cook the crust. This will ensure a crispier crust that isn’t soggy.

Layer the pizza dough with birria consome (sauce), then birria meat, then shredded cheese, then jalapeno slices.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is browned and crispy, and the cheese is nice and melty.

Serve

Slice and serve! Garnish as desired!
