Notes
- Chicken broth keeps the birria broth rich but balanced; beef broth works too, but will make it a little heavier.
- To loosen the frozen birria from the package, let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwave for about 1 minute.
- A fried egg on top is a great swap if you don’t want to soft-boil the eggs.
- For a cheesy finish, add a handful of shredded Gruyère and let it melt into the hot broth.
