There's no one exact way to make birria, and you'll find many versions online. It was originally made with goat meat (birria de chivo), but now, different regions of Mexico have put their own spin on this classic dish with beef as the preferred meat. This slow cooker or Crockpot birria recipe I’m sharing today stems from all the delicious experiences I’ve had with it — from local taco stands in Mexico to authentic, home-cooked versions. And I can't wait for you to try it!

Love me some slow cooker Mexican meat! What's your personal favorite - birria, carnitas, barbacoa or my salsa verde chicken?? xo - Lisa

As soon as I saw the tittle I knew it was gonna be a must have recipe. As a Mexican I’m embarrassed to say I have never made birria because of the hassle, and also how easy is to find it in taquerias- even though is not always as good as homemade. However, as usual, I am so excited to try this, you always manage to excel my expectations, always keeping the authenticity of recipes, but making easier and delicious. Thank you!

Wife shot me this vid as soon as we saw a new Leasa recipe was out. This was phenomenal. I’ve never had a taco with these unique flavors before. I’ve never had a bad recipe from downshiftoloy. Leasa’s upbeat personality, high quality videos, and recipes exploding with flavor is a true talent. You’re much appreciated. Thank you!

The fact that everything was clear and calming at the same time was amazing, but more so, you answered a question I had on my mind, that I didn’t think you’d even bring up. The storage 😮. I’m pregnant and was wondering if I made this if I could freeze it for later on in a few months… and surely you answered that. Thank you so much. Will be making this recipe today 🙏
-
I love EVERYTHING I have tried that you make... THIS ONE... MMMMMMM, I cannot WAIT to try. My mouth is watering... I was first introduced to 'birria" just a mere six months ago. I FELL IN LOVE immediately, but I can tell your combination of spices and the onion cilantro on top will be EVEN MORE TASTY!!! THANK YOU LISA! ((HUGS))
