Birria
Birria (pronunciation: /biːˈriːə/) is a traditional Mexican dish that originated from the state of Jalisco. It is a spicy stew, typically made from goat meat or mutton, often served during festive periods.
Etymology
The term "Birria" is derived from the Spanish word "birrioso", which means "excellent". It is believed to have been named so due to the rich and flavorful taste of the dish.
Preparation
Birria is traditionally made by marinating the meat in a rich adobo made of vinegar, chiles, and spices, then slow-cooked until it's tender. The meat is then shredded and often served with tortillas, lime, onions, and cilantro. Some variations of the dish may also include beef or chicken.
Regional Variations
While Birria originated in Jalisco, it is popular throughout Mexico and has regional variations. For example, in the state of Zacatecas, the dish is often made with lamb. In the United States, Birria tacos, a variation where the stew is served in a taco, have gained popularity.
