What is Birria?

Birria is a traditional Mexican dish originally from the state of Jalisco. It is a savory, slow-cooked meat stew that is traditionally made with goat meat, although beef, lamb or pork can also be used. The meat is marinated in a rich blend of spices, including chiles, cumin, garlic, and various herbs, giving it a deep flavor.

Birria is often served in a broth alongside corn tortillas, which can be dipped into the stew. Another popular way to enjoy birria is in the form of “birria tacos,” where the meat is used as a filling for tacos, sometimes with cheese added, and often served with a side of the flavorful broth for dipping.

In recent years, birria has gained widespread popularity outside of Mexico, especially in the United States, where it is commonly featured in taco trucks and restaurants.
