Prep your work space by getting everything lined up to make this recipe smooth.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
One at a time, dunk the tortillas into the birria sauce, making sure to coat both sides and allowing the excess to drizzle off.
Place the tortillas into the preheated pan and working quickly, sprinkle the cheese in an even layer of the tortilla.
Then, add the beef in an even layer.
Sprinkle a little of the onion cilantro mixture over the beef followed by another layer of cheese before topping it with another tortilla soaked in the consommé.
Once the tortilla is golden brown and slightly crispy, 1 to 2 minutes, use a large flat spatula to flip.
Fry the quesadilla until the cheese has melted and the bottom quesadilla is toasted.
Carefully transfer the birria quesadillas to a cutting boar and slice it into wedges.
Serve immediately with a ramekin of hot consommé for dunking.
