Ingredients

– 2 pounds beef chuck or lamb, cut into chunks
– 6 cups beef broth
– 3 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
– 2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 onion, chopped
– 1 tablespoon ground cumin
– 1 tablespoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– 1 cup diced onion (for topping)
– 1 lime, cut into wedges
– Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)


Instructions

Creating Easy Birria Pizza can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Birria: In a large pot, combine the beef or lamb chunks, beef broth, dried chiles, minced garlic, chopped onion, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
2. Cook the Meat: Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
3. Shred the Meat: Once cooked, remove the meat from the pot and shred it with two forks. Set aside.
4. Make the Sauce: Strain the cooking liquid from the pot and reserve it. Blend the strained liquid until smooth to create a sauce.
5. Prepare the Pizza Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
6. Assemble the Pizza: Spread a layer of the reserved sauce on the pizza dough. Top with shredded birria meat and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
7. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
8. Add Toppings: Once out of the oven, top the pizza with chopped cilantro, diced onion, and lime wedges.
9. Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges.
