Birria Jalisciense
Also known as: Birria de Chivo, Jalisco Birria
Jalisco-style goat birria with a three-chile sauce and aromatic herbs.

About Birria Jalisciense
This Jalisco-style birria follows ladoña’s published goat-leg recipe on People en Español. Bone-in goat is coated in a sauce of guajillo, ancho and árbol chiles with roasted tomatoes, herbs and spices.
White vinegar adds tang to the chile-and-tomato sauce. Black pepper, cloves, cinnamon and cumin provide spice, while dried thyme, marjoram and oregano add herbal notes.
The goat becomes soft and juicy, pulling away from the bone, with slight browning on its exterior. The source serves the birria hot alongside refried beans and hot tortillas.
