Instructions

Follow these steps for a delicious dip that will impress your guests.

Prepare the Birria

In a large pot, add the beef, onion, garlic, dried chiles, spices, bay leaves, and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 60 minutes until the beef is tender.

Shred the Beef

Once cooked, remove the beef from the pot and shred it with two forks. Set aside, and strain the broth to remove solids.

Make the Dip

In a bowl, mix the shredded beef, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, and salt until well combined.

Bake the Dip

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and pour some of the reserved broth over the top. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until bubbly.

Serve warm with tortilla chips or warm tortillas for dipping.

Storage Tips

If you find yourself with leftovers, storing them is simple! Place the dip in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to three days. When you're ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals, stirring occasionally.

For longer storage, consider freezing the dip before baking. Store it in a freezer-safe container, and it will keep well for up to two months. When you're ready to enjoy it, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking as directed.

Serving Suggestions

To elevate your dip experience, serve it alongside a variety of dippers. Tortilla chips are a classic choice, but you can also offer sliced baguettes or pita chips for a different texture. Fresh vegetables like carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, or cucumber slices also make for healthy and crunchy options.

Consider pairing the dip with a refreshing drink. A light Mexican beer, a crisp margarita, or even a cool agua fresca can complement the flavors beautifully. Don't forget to set out some lime wedges to squeeze over the dip for an extra burst of freshness!
