Birria de Res

Birria de Res is a delicious street food in Mexico. The first time I had Birria at a taco shop in Mexico was an amazing experience. The server brings a platter of many condiments to your table ranging from chopped produce, lemons or lime, to different salsas. You get served a big bowl of this hearty beef soup that is packed with flavor. As you are eating, the server is bringing you freshly made Corn Tortillas, which a woman was in the middle of the dining room making them on a griddle with a huge bowl of corn masa. This delicious soup is such an easy recipe, but the flavor is so wonderful. It is a must try.

If you would like to make tacos, just add some of the broth into the shredded meat.
