Barbacoa is a traditional Mexican dish, known for its rich, flavorful meat that’s slow-cooked until tender. Typically made from beef, lamb, or goat, the meat is seasoned with spices and wrapped in leaves, allowing it to steam gently. Originating from the Taino people, the technique has evolved over centuries, becoming a beloved staple in Latin American cuisine. While barbacoa offers protein and essential nutrients, it can be high in fat, depending on the cuts used. Enjoy it with fresh toppings like salsa and avocado for a deliciously satisfying meal that captures the essence of authentic Mexican flavors!
