What is Barbacoa?

Barbacoa is an authentic Mexican dish typically made with beef, goat or lamb. It is traditionally seasoned with dried chilies and spices and slowly cooked until perfectly tender. From there it's used as a delicious filling for tacos, burritos and so forth.

This is my favorite Barbacoa Beef recipe! I first shared the recipe back in April 2015 but have since decided those photos needed some updating.

It's an easy to make dish, nothing complicated and it doesn't use hard to find ingredients. It's incredibly flavorful and you'll love the brightness of the lime.

Most definitely a recipe easily worthy of your dinner rotation!
