Birria: el plato mexicano que hace furor | EL COMIDISTA

A birria is, according to the Royal Academy, a person or thing of little value or importance, or of a pitiful appearance. For Mexicans, birria is something much less derogatory: a delicious spicy lamb stew, which can also be prepared with goat or beef, and whose main asset is its broth, capable of resurrecting a dying person. This dish is experiencing an explosion in the United States: from Tijuana, it spread to Los Angeles, and from Los Angeles, to virality on Instagram and TikTok. So before birrierias start popping up here, we've called on a Mexican cuisine expert to explain where this phenomenon originated. Juan Pescador, chef at Metl, tells us where birria comes from and, of course, how to prepare it. All of this, as always, is in the video above.
