Sunday Slow Cooker: Birria de Res
One of my favorite Mexican dishes is Birria de Res, a stewed spicy beef dish made with dried chiles. Normally it is only served on weekend and sometimes made with beef, goat, or lamb. Serve it up in tortillas, burritos, burrito bowls, or even stuffed in sandwiches for a delicious meal.
