This is a rich, meaty, and cheesy taco that combines the best of a quesadilla and a traditional taco. The beef is slow-braised in a flavorful chili and spice-infused broth until it's fall-apart tender. The tacos are then fried until crispy and served with a side of the savory braising liquid, or consommé, for dipping.

Analyzing cooking steps...
Developing a deep brown crust on the meat during the searing step is crucial for the final flavor of the stew.
Using a rich, preferably homemade, beef stock will significantly enhance the quality of the consommé.
Oaxaca cheese is the traditional and best choice for this dish due to its superior melting and stretching qualities.
Don't be afraid to make it messy; dipping the taco in the consommé is an essential part of the experience.
