FAQ’s

What makes Cool Chile Birria Seasoning Kit special?

Cool Chile Birria Seasoning Kit contains a carefully curated selection of Mexican chillies, Birria Spice Mix, Mexican oregano, and a recipe sheet to help you create authentic birria, a Jaliscan-style barbacoa.

What is birria?

Birria is a slow-cooked Mexican dish originating from Jalisco. Traditionally made with beef, lamb, or goat, it is marinated in a blend of chillies and spices, then cooked until fall-apart tender in a rich, spiced broth.

How spicy is this seasoning?

Birria seasoning has a moderate heat level, offering warmth and smokiness without overpowering the dish. You can adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer dried chillies.

What is quesabirria?

Quesabirria is a delicious taco variation where shredded birria meat and melted cheese are tucked inside a tortilla, dipped in the rich birria broth, then crisped up on a griddle for a flavour-packed, cheesy bite.

How should I store this seasoning kit?

Keep in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
