What Is Birria de Chivo?
Birria is a slow-cooked stew that originates from the state of Jalisco, Mexico, where it is traditionally made with goat meat (chivo). The dish combines tender, marinated meat with a deeply flavorful broth crafted from a unique blend of dried chiles, spices, and herbs. Every bowl of birria tells the story of heritage, celebration, and comfort.
Authentic Preparation
At El Toro Carniceria, our birria begins with carefully selected goat meat, marinated overnight in a mixture of:
-
Guajillo and Ancho Chiles – for smoky, earthy depth.
-
Garlic and Onions – essential aromatics for balance.
-
Mexican Spices – cumin, oregano, cloves, and bay leaves for complexity.
-
Citrus and Vinegar – to tenderize the meat and balance the flavors.
After marination, the goat is slow-cooked until tender, allowing the flavors to infuse into every bite. The result is a dish that is rich, slightly smoky, and deeply satisfying.
