A traditional, spicy feast from Jalisco, Mexico...

SERVES: 4

Birria is a popular street food traditionally made with cheap cuts of meat, often goat, mutton or beef which are slow cooked in a broth flavoured with chillies, tomatoes and spices. It can either be served as a soup, or as here with the meat separated and served inside tortillas and a bowl of the warming broth on the side.

Here we’re garnishing the dish with finely shredded cabbage, a zingy pico de gallo salad, smoky chipotle salsa and cooling sour cream. For dessert we’ve got Mexico’s answer to the doughnut - deep-fried crispy aniseed treats known as bunuelos and chocolate sauce flavoured with fruity ancho chilli to dip them in.

A meal with a difference. Easy make and great fun round the table sharing with friends. Top marks for the dessert with a chilli kick sauce that actually wanted you asking for more! A kit to buy again :-)

Happy to hear you all had fun with this one (and it's definitely a good choice for those with a sweet tooth!)

Swapped the meat for jackfruit and beans for a veggie alternative. Chipotle salsa and pico de gallo we’re amazing. Added some homemade 3 colour corn tortillas. Ancho chilli chocolate sauce also delicious with the bunuelos for dessert

Woah, those tortillas looks amazing!

The subtly spicy Bunuelos we had after our Jaliscan Birria went perfectly with the Ancho Chilli Chocolate Sauce and a glass of sweet Tokaji :)

Yum, these look absolutely delicious - the perfect dessert to finish off a spicy Mexican banquet!
