Birria-Style Smash Burger

This Birria-Style Smash Burger combines the crispy, craveable texture of a classic smash burger with the rich, slow-cooked flavors that have made birria a menu favorite. The consommé begins with a blend of toasted guajillo and ancho chiles, which provide deep color and a balance of smoky, earthy, and mildly sweet flavors. Garlic, white onion, cumin, oregano, clove, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, and beef stock are blended into a smooth sauce, then simmered and strained to create a velvety consommé packed with bold flavor. The result is a rich, aromatic base that elevates the burger with layers of authentic birria-inspired flavor.

At the heart of the dish are Mill Street Slider beef patties, smashed on a hot griddle to create crispy, caramelized edges while maintaining a juicy interior. The patties are brushed with birria glaze and topped with melted Oaxaca cheese, adding a creamy, stretchy texture that pairs perfectly with the seasoned beef. Fresh julienned white onions and chopped cilantro provide brightness and crunch, while toasted buns hold everything together for a satisfying handheld experience. Served with lime wedges and a side of consommé for dipping, this burger delivers a bold fusion of two customer favorites, creating a memorable menu item packed with flavor, texture, and visual appeal.
