The Birria-Inspired Burger

The Birria-Inspired Burger

A harmonious blend of savory and spice, this Burger captures the rich and aromatic flavors of traditional birria stew and melds them beautifully with the succulence of a juicy burger. Between layers of crispy tostada quesadilla and melty provolone cheese lies our Schweid & Sons Signature Blend Burger, waiting to be drenched in the deep, smoky birria sauce.

  • 3. Fry in another 1 Tbsp oil until the cheese is melted. Set aside.
