Birria tacos (also known as quesabirria) are a Mexican dish consisting of pan-fried corn tortillas stuffed with tender, slow-cooked shredded meat—traditionally goat or lamb.

However, beef is most common in the U.S. The tortillas are often dipped in the fat from the top of the braising liquid before being grilled, giving them a signature crispy, deep-red exterior. They are almost always served with a side of rich, spiced broth called consomé for dipping.

In this episode of Cooking with Milwaukee Community Leaders, host Charlie interviews Oscar Sanchez, founder and CEO of Ambrosia Events, about his journey from Mexico to Milwaukee, his culinary training and entrepreneurial ventures, and his recognition on the Milwaukee Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 list.
