Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a large pot, combine the goat meat, onion, garlic, bay leaves, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 hours, until the meat is tender.
• STEP 2.While the meat is simmering, prepare the consome base. In a blender, combine the dried chilies, tomatoes, onion, garlic, cloves, cumin, oregano, and salt. Blend until smooth.

• STEP 5.Serve the Traditional Goat Birria Consome hot with warm corn tortillas, lime wedges, and chopped onions and cilantro. Enjoy!
