What You Should Know

You'd find this 9 oz Beef Birria Quesadilla in the refrigerated prepared-meals or frozen convenience aisle — a grab-and-heat option for a quick lunch, snack, or game-night treat. It feels indulgent and comforting with melty Oaxaca cheese and saucy birria, while ingredients like modified food starch, guar gum and yeast extract point to industrial processing for uniform texture, flavor enhancement and shelf stability (typical NOVA 4 cues).
