Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded birria-style beef, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup birria consomme, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions
1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, and cook for about 1 minute, until lightly golden.
2. Gradually whisk in warmed milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth, about 2 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low. Add Monterey Jack, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and stir until cheese is melted completely, about 5 minutes.
4. Fold in shredded birria beef along with consomme, if using, and cook just until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Transfer dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with additional birria beef, a drizzle of chili oil and cilantro. Serve with Town House® FlipSides Crackers and Club® Original Crackers.
