FAQ:
1. Can I make Birria in advance?
Yes! Birria often tastes better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
2. What if I can’t find certain chilies?
Substitute with more readily available chilies like New Mexico or chipotle, though the flavor profile may vary slightly.
3. Can I make this dish vegetarian?
While traditional Birria is meat-based, you can substitute the beef with jackfruit or mushrooms and use vegetable stock for the consomé.
4. How do I avoid a greasy consomé?
Skim the excess fat from the top of the consomé before serving, or chill the broth and remove the solidified fat.
