Mexican hot chocolate is an age-old beverage, rich in history, culture, and flavor.

Birria: A Taste of Mexico’s Culinary Tradition for Your Slow Cooker

Birria, a savory meat stew from Mexico, has steadily gained popularity across the globe. With its deep roots in Mexican culture, this dish is a delightful mix of tradition, flavor, and history. Let’s dive into the past of this beloved dish and discover a simplified slow-cooker version to make your next Taco Tuesday truly exceptional.

A Brief History of Birria

Originating from the state of Jalisco, birria is traditionally made with goat meat, though beef and lamb have become popular alternatives in various regions and among different chefs. Historically, birria was eaten during festive occasions like weddings, baptisms, and major holidays, especially in the areas surrounding Guadalajara, Jalisco’s capital.

The name “birria” might derive from the Spanish word “birrioso” (or berrinchudo), which means irritable or angry, possibly alluding to the spicy and vibrant nature of the stew. The dish is traditionally slow-cooked in large clay pots buried underground, sealing in all the juicy, rich flavors.

While initially regional, birria’s appeal spread throughout Mexico, with each region introducing its unique twists. Now, the magic of birria has made its way north to the United States and beyond, particularly in taco form.

Directions

If Longans aren’t available, create a similar effect with Grapes and Pomegranate Arils. Slice green grapes in half, cut a tiny slit in the center, and push a single pomegranate aril into the grape. Then push the grapes into the passion fruit. Make the eyeballs “scream” and garnish with finger lime caviar for an extra spooky, delicious treat.

Passion Fruit is ripe when fragrant and outer skin is slightly wrinkled. To ripen, place in a paper bag for a day or two. The more wrinkled; the sweeter. Carefully cut with a serrated knife.
