Birria Tacos

Birria Tacos have taken the food world by storm, and for good reason. This traditional Mexican dish from the state of Jalisco involves slow-stewing beef (or traditionally, goat) in a rich, flavorful broth made from a blend of dried chili peppers and aromatic spices. The tender, shredded meat is then served in crispy, cheese-filled corn tortillas that have been dipped in the top layer of fat from the stew (the consomé) and pan-fried. The final touch is serving the tacos with a side of the warm, savory consomé for dipping. It’s a multi-layered experience of textures and flavors—crispy, cheesy, savory, and spicy—that is absolutely unforgettable.
