Make This Lamb Birria in One Pot

Birria is one of those dishes that refuses to be pinned to a single style or recipe—and that’s exactly what makes it so special. Every version tells a slightly different story. Some are brothy and meant to be sipped, rich consommé pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Others cling tightly to the meat, thick and saucy, built for tacos you dip back into the pot. There’s no single “right” way to make birria—but what remains true across all of them is the reward: hours of slow cooking that transform tough cuts into something impossibly tender, layered, and good for the soul.
This lamb birria leans into that long, patient process — although the majority of it is hands off, and it all happens in one pot. You can serve it as a stew, shred it for tacos, or do both, because she's generous like that. However you eat it, this is the kind of dish that fills the kitchen with aroma, rewards your time, and reminds you why some recipes are worth lingering over.
