Prep:
10 minutes
Cook:
10 minutes
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Trader Joe’s Beef Birria (freezer)
2 tbsp. finely chopped onion
1 tbsp. salsa verde
2 slices light bread
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican-blend cheese
1 tsp. chopped cilantro
2 tsp. light butter, divided
Directions:
To prepare birria, puncture film, and microwave for 2 1/2 minutes. Remove film and stir. Microwave for 2 1/2 more minutes, or until hot. Shred meat, and stir well.
Meanwhile, bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add onion. Cook and stir until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
Measure out 1/4 cup birria. (Reserve remaining birria for another use.) Lightly drain sauce into a small dish, and reserve for dipping. Transfer birria meat to a medium bowl. Add onion and salsa. Mix well.
Top one slice of bread with 2 tbsp. cheese, birria mixture, cilantro, remaining 2 tbsp. cheese, and remaining bread slice. Spread the top of the sandwich with 1 tsp. butter.
If needed, clean skillet. Respray with nonstick spray, and bring to medium heat. Add sandwich, buttered side down. Spread the top with remaining 1 tsp. butter.
Cook until bread is golden brown and cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side, flipping carefully.
Serve with reserved sauce for dipping.
