Step 1
Heat consomé in a shallow bowl or dish. Stir in chili powder and cumin until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until a drop of water sizzles on contact.
Step 3
Lay one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese on half the tortilla. Quickly dip shredded beef in warm consomé, then pile onto the cheese. Fold tortilla in half.
Step 4
Pan-fry the quesabirria 2 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and crispy, cheese is fully melted.
Step 5
Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas and beef. Pour any leftover consomé into small dipping cups.
Step 6
Serve immediately with lime wedges. Dip each bite into warm consomé.
