Caldo de Birria is a rich and flavorful Mexican stew originating from the state of Jalisco. Traditionally made with goat, lamb, or beef, it is slow-cooked in a vibrant broth seasoned with a blend of dried chiles, garlic, cumin, oregano, and other spices. Often served with a garnish of onion, cilantro, and lime, it is enjoyed as a hearty main dish or alongside warm tortillas. While high in protein due to the meat content, Caldo de Birria can also be high in sodium and fat, depending on the preparation. Its spicy and aromatic ingredients offer antioxidants, and when paired with fresh toppings, it can provide essential vitamins and minerals. Moderation and mindful preparation, such as trimming excess fat or limiting additional salt, can highlight its nutritional benefits while reducing less healthy aspects.
