Birria is a deeply flavoured, soupy stew from Jalisco in western Mexico. It's traditionally made with goat meat, although nowadays beef is widely used. The meat is cooked in an adobo, a sauce made with chillies, spices and vinegar. The birria can be eaten in a bowl like a soup, or in tacos or quesadillas (see Tip).
