- Fresh Cilantro (chopped)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a high temperature, around 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone or steel, place it in the oven while it preheats.
- Lightly flour a pizza peel or a large baking sheet.
- If your birria isn't already warm, gently warm the shredded beef in a pan.
- Stretch or roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape.
- Brush or spread a thin layer of warm birria consomé onto the stretched pizza dough.
- Sprinkle half of your shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the consomé-brushed dough.
- Distribute your warmed, shredded beef birria over the cheese layer evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the birria.
- Carefully slide your assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two.
- Sprinkle generously with fresh, chopped cilantro, slice, and serve with warm birria consomé and lime wedges.

Keywords: Don't overload your pizza to prevent a soggy crust. A very hot oven is essential for a crispy crust, and using a pizza stone can help. Fresh cilantro is a must for flavor, and consider adding finely diced white onion or hot sauce for extra flavor.
