Okay first and fore most, I know authentic birria is made with goat. I have made it with goat before and it is a little too gamey for me. That being said, this beef version is incredibly warm, hearty, and versatile.

I ate this as a stew, taco, and ladled it over rice. All were equally delicious. Unfortunately I was not able to enjoy it the fullest since I could not, for the life of me, find queso de oaxaca. Nonetheless, this was a pretty simple dish to make. I usually have dried chilies stashed in my pantry and the rest of the ingredients were easily attainable (except the beef cuts were pretty pricey, minus the chuck).

All that being said, I would definitely make this dish again. As always, recipe is below, and happy new year!
