Authentic Tacos de Bírria...
The birria is one of the most famous mexican recipes from the traditional cuisine of the state of Jalisco, whether we choose to enjoy birria in its sauce or in tacos, what matters the most is that the meat is tender... The goat or lamb meat are perfect meats to use in tacos, the price is a little higher than beef however, but the taste is well worth it. These types of meat are delicious when used in a birria recipe or even mixotes. This recipe assumes the reader has to make the birria for these tacos from scratch; and birria needs to cook very slowly, that is why it takes so long; but these tacos are also a great way to use any leftover birria from the day before!
