- 3/4 cup birria consomé stew broth plus more for serving
- 1 cup birria meat (See my Birria Recipe at https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/recipes/birria/)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 C).
- Spread the cornmeal onto a lightly oiled baking sheet, pizza pan, or cast iron pan.
- Hand roll and pull/stretch the pizza dough carefully into a 12-inch crust, then set onto the baking sheet or pan.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes to par cook the crust. This will ensure a crispier crust that isn’t soggy.
- Layer the pizza dough with birria consome (sauce), then birria meat, then shredded cheese, then jalapeno slices.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is browned and crispy, and the cheese is nice and melty.
