Living in a Barbacoa World

Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. While there are countless potential dishes to help celebrate this event, a Contigo Barbacoa Stew — rich, hearty, yet elegant — is always a great choice.

Barbacoa is believed to have originated with the Taino people in the Caribbean and is the earliest known form of barbecue. In Mexico, it describes meat slow cooked over an open fire. For this bowl, sumptuous Contigo Barbacoa Beef is slow cooked and simmered in a pool of birriabased broth with Peak Fresh® Vegetables and Contigo Chorizo over jasmine rice.

Serve with warm tortillas so guests can assemble their own birria tacos on the side, enhancing the authentic experience.

Birria Hysteria

Few ingredients have taken foodies by storm quite like birria sauce. The adobo marinated meat that originated in the Mexican state of Jalisco is full-flavored with a robust reddish hue and often served at celebratory events.
