This kit contains Mexican chillies, Birria Spice Mix, Mexican Oregano and a recipe sheet to make Birria, a Jaliscan style of ‘barbacoa’.
Barbacoa is a pre-Hispanic cooking technique in Mexican cuisine where meat is slowly steam-roasted in a smouldering underground pit until fall-apart tender. In this recipe from Jalisco, beef is marinated in red Mexican chillies, Birria Spice Mix and Mexican Oregano, covered tightly and slow-cooked in the oven. The marinade combines with the beef juices to make a spicy red broth with a hint of smokiness. Serve in bowls with broth and corn tortillas on the side. Leftover meat can be used to make Quesabirrias - the ultimate quesadilla.

MEXICAN TABLE SAUCE- An extremely hot sauce made from fruity habanero chillies with a touch of allspice. The floral-flavoured habanero is the king of chilles and gives this sauce a searing but short-lived heat – you may find it addictive.
