Barbacoa is a Spanish word that refers to a method of cooking meat over an open fire. It is typically made with beef, goat, or lamb, and is often served with tortillas, salsa, and other toppings. Barbacoa is a popular dish in Mexico and other Latin American countries.
The word barbacoa is derived from the Tano word barbacoa, which means “framework of sticks.” The Tano people used these frameworks to cook meat over a fire. The Spanish adopted the word barbacoa to refer to their own method of cooking meat over an open fire.
