  • For the adobo sauce: In a deep skillet heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Add tomatoes and cook until they fall apart. Add pepper, cumin, thyme, oregano, cinnamon, bay leaf, árbol chile, guajillo chile, ancho chile, white vinegar, and a bit of water to soften the ingredients. Take your time to cook each of the ingredients. It should take about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • For cooking the meat: In a pressure cooker, place water, onion, garlic, meat, and bouquet garni. Once the pressure cooker whistles, lower the heat to medium and cook for 40 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool down and remove the lid once the pressure comes down. Add adobo sauce and season with salt. Cook uncovered for 10 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld and for a more flavorful consommé.
  • Remove meat from consommé and chop it. Set meat and consommé aside.
  • On a baking sheet, place a burrito-size tortilla. Place birria and shredded cheese on top. Cover with another tortilla and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  • Bake birria pizza at 392° F for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Garnish birria pizza with thinly sliced avocado and chives.
  • Serve birria pizza with consommé.
