Birria
Birria is a Mexican stew traditionally made with goat meat, but now commonly made with beef. The dish is often served with tortillas and is a popular street food in Mexico.
The history of Birria recipes can be traced back to the Mexican state of Jalisco, where the dish is said to have originated. Birria was traditionally made with goat meat, but beef is now the more common meat used in the dish. The word birria comes from the Spanish word for goat, which is cabra.
The stew is typically made with a combination of chili peppers, onions, garlic, and various spices. Birria is often served with tortillas and is a popular street food in Mexico. The dish is also commonly served at celebrations and festivals.
Advice
Birria is an incredibly flavorful Mexican dish that is traditionally made with either beef, goat, or lamb. If you are looking to make your own birria, the key is to make sure that you are using a flavorful marinade. Start by combining garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add in your favorite type of vinegar and mix until fully incorporated. Once your marinade is ready, coat your meat of choice in the mixture, cover and let it sit overnight. The next day, you can either slow cook your birria in a pot on the stove, or in a slow cooker. Finally, when it's done cooking, top it off with some chopped onions and cilantro and serve. Enjoy!
