Beef Birria

A Mexican delight which suits perfectly for the slow cooker! The beef soaks up all the delicious flavourings and spices, leaving a tasty meal which is sure to please.

I served mine up with lentils and broccoli (to get in the extra veggies!) but also can be enjoyed as a taco or with rice.
