is
claiming
the

with
“traditional
spices
and
chile
peppers”
and
braised

and
1/2
hours.
According
to
Del
Taco,
it
took
them over
four
months
and
16
revisions
to
develop
the
recipe.
The
Shredded
Beef

Ramen
features
beef
broth
consomé
with
fresh
wavy

and
served
with
a
lime
wedge.
It
carries
a
suggested

of
$5.79.

Birria
is
a
Mexican
dish
of
meat
soup.
Recently,
it
has
found
growing
popularity
served
in
tacos
(sometimes
grilled
with
cheese
and
occasionally
called
“quesatacos”)
with consomé
(the
soup
broth)
for
dipping.
The
dish
has
caught
on
at
a
few
major
fast
food
chains.
El
Pollo
Loco
has
offered
their
take
on
it
as
a
limited-time
offering
and
Taco
Bell
put
out
their
limited-time
version
of
the
dish
as
“Grilled
Cheese
Dipping
Tacos.”
