Instructions:
1. Marinate the Wings:

4. Prepare the Consomé:
- In a saucepan, combine beef or chicken broth with finely chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the consomé to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Serve:
- Once the wings are cooked, serve them hot with a side of the consomé for dipping.
- Optionally, you can serve the birria wings on warm tortillas with chopped onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
6. Enjoy:
- Dip the wings in the consomé before taking a bite to enjoy the full birria flavor.
