Birria Pizza
My birria pizza recipe features slow-cooked birria meat, gooey cheese, and spicy jalapenos baked on a chewy and fluffy crust. It's packed with so much flavor. Watch the video below to see how I make this in my kitchen.

Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough * See notes
- 1/2 cup birria broth
- 1 cup birria meat
- 1 cup oaxaca cheese shredded
- 1 small jalapeno sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250C/420F.
- Roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle, dusting with flour as needed.
- Place it on the baking sheet or pizza stone. Flatten the inside part of the dough, creating higher edges of the dough (1/2 an inch width) to reserve the birria liquid inside.
- Pour the Birria liquid onto the dough and spread it using the ladle. Sprinkle the Birria meat evenly, followed by the cheese. Top with some jalapeno pepper slices.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until the cheese melts and begins to go golden.
- Slice the pizza and serve warm with some hot sauce or more Birria liquid.

Notes
* Homemade or store-bought
TO STORE. I rarely have any birria pizza leftovers. But if you end up with a few extra slices, refrigerate them for 4-5 days in a sealed container.
TO FREEZE. Freezing leftover pizza is not a great idea because the crust crumbles upon thawing.
TO REHEAT. I prefer heating my pizza in the air fryer, but a microwave or oven works just as well.
