Birria is a regional variety of barbacoa from western Mexico, traditionally associated with the state of Jalisco, made from goat, beef or lamb marinated in an adobo sauce of vinegar, dried chiles, garlic and spices such as cumin, bay leaf and thyme, then cooked in broth. It is commonly served at celebrations including weddings, baptisms and holidays, accompanied by corn tortillas, onion, cilantro and lime, and is sold by dedicated restaurants and street carts called birrierias throughout Mexico, particularly in Jalisco and Michoacan.
