Ingredients for Beef Birria Fries
To begin this delicious journey, you’ll need beef short ribs seasoned with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and a touch of FYR RED Hot Sauce. The star of the dish, the chile sauce, is made with ancho chiles, guajillo chiles, Chipotle in Adobo, sliced white onion, garlic cloves, and water. For the best flavor and tenderness, gather beef broth, Mexican oregano, black pepper, sea salt, cinnamon sticks, and bay leaves for seasoning and braising.
To complete this masterpiece, generously top your crispy fries with liquid queso, chopped red onions, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream. Start by preheating your oven to 325°F and seasoning the beef short ribs with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and a drizzle of FYR RED Hot Sauce.
Allow the ribs to marinate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully. While they marinate, prepare the chile sauce by toasting the ancho chiles, guajillo chiles, and Chipotle in Adobo in a dry skillet until wonderfully fragrant. Then, blend the toasted chiles with sliced white onion, garlic cloves, and water until smooth. This rich and spicy chile sauce is the perfect complement to the tender beef ribs.
How to Make Cheesy Birria Fries
The process of making Cheesy Birria Fries is an art form in itself. You start by charring your chiles and garlic, then blending them into a smooth paste with a thick broth-like consistency. The beef ribs are then slathered with FYR Red Sauce and seasoned before being seared to perfection. After braising the beef in the chile paste and broth until it’s fork-tender, you shred it and prepare to assemble your masterpiece.
Fry up your favorite fries to crispy perfection, then generously drizzle them with queso and pile on the flavorful birria beef. A final garnish of fresh cilantro, red onions, and sour cream adds the perfect finishing touch to this show-stopping dish. Get ready to experience the ultimate combination of crispy, cheesy, and savory flavors with every single bite. These loaded birria beef fries are guaranteed to make your taste buds sing!
