Instructions

Prep and Pasta

  1. Preheat the broiler to high.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni until al dente; drain and set aside.
  3. While the pasta cooks, blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until completely smooth.

The Consommé Cheese Sauce

  1. In a large skillet or dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat and whisk in the flour, cooking for 1 minute.
  2. Gradually whisk in the strained birria consommé, simmering until slightly thickened.
  3. Reduce heat to low and stir in the blended cottage cheese, cheddar, and half of the oaxaca until melted and creamy.

Assembly and Broil

  1. Fold the cooked pasta and shredded birria beef into the cheese sauce until well coated.
  2. Transfer to a broiler-safe baking dish and top with the remaining oaxaca.
  3. Broil for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown; garnish with cilantro before serving.
