Birria ⓘ is a spicy Mexican meat stew usually made with goat meat or lamb or mutton. It can also be made with beef (carne de res), but never with pork. Birria is often served during festive periods, such as Christmas, New Year's Eve, Mother's Day, and birthday parties. Originally from Jalisco, it is a common dish in some Mexican food establishments in the Bajío. It is typically served with corn tortillas, onion, and lime.[1]
