About Birria tacos

Birria tacos are a flavorful Mexican dish originating from the state of Jalisco, traditionally made with slow-cooked, marinated meat—commonly beef, goat, or lamb—simmered in a rich, spiced broth. The meat is tender and infused with bold flavors from chilies, garlic, herbs, and spices. The tacos are typically assembled using corn tortillas, which are often dipped into the birria broth, then filled with the meat, pan-fried to golden perfection, and topped with onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. While birria tacos offer a good source of protein and are rich in spices with potential anti-inflammatory benefits, they can be high in fat due to the cooking process and fried tortillas. Pairing them with light sides like fresh salsa or a salad can balance the meal. Diners often enjoy them with a side of consommé for dipping, heightening the dish's signature savory experience.
