Contigo® Birria Base Concentrate
The original Birria dish is said to have originated in Jalisco Mexico, where it was traditionally prepared for holidays and special occasions and made with either goat, sheep, or beef meat. Birria is a Mexican meat stew with a blend of chiles and spices, giving it a deep‑red hue and a slightly earthy flavor.
This traditional Mexican base seems to be trending everywhere, most often in the form of Birria tacos. Birria tacos are tortillas filled with the tender meat from the stew, topped with onions, cilantro, and served with the broth from the stew on the side. The tacos are dipped in the broth, making for an unforgetable combination consumers just can’t seem to get enough of. From The New York Times to Google to TikTok, the Birria Taco craze is hotter than ever. Birria tacos only finished behind banana bread, focaccia, crème brûlée and keto diet‑friendly cloud bread, in respective order as the most searched new foods. A June 2020 to July 2021 study found videos featuring the term “birria tacos” were viewed nearly 500 million times on TikTok and featured in 135,214 Instagram posts. The term also reached an annual Google search volume of 11.2 million.
Our Contigo Birria Base Concentrate is ideal for making Birria Tacos, Birria Quesadillas, Birria Ramen, Birria Pizza, Birria Pho, and Birria Egg Rolls. Contigo Birria Base Concentrate is packed in convenient 6/5‑lb. liquid refrigerated pouches to minimize waste and keep the product fresh. | #FL448: Coming Soon
