Comida Tapatia: Birria

One of the lesser-known culinary greats you can get is Jalisco is birria.

A rich, warming and spicy stew usually made of beef or goat (goat is better).  Birria is terrific on the few cold nights of the year, though Jaliscenses will serve it no matter what the weather.

Birria is also an excellent celebration dish due to the ease of making large quantities. It is particularly popular at weddings.

Like many other Mexican dishes, the stew is usually served with diced onions, lime, and cilantro.

Meat cooked in the birria style (marinated in spices and chilis, then stewed) is also served on tacos.
