Birria Papa Rellena
Welcome back to my Fusion Foods Series, where we combine delicious dishes across cultures. So I’ve been working in a Peruvian restaurant part time, and one of my favorite things on the menu is the papa rellena. Mashed potatoes stuffed with a meaty filling then fried, and If you think about it this dish is a blank canvas, you can really fill it with whatever you want. The perfect match? Mexico’s birria, meat braised with ancho, guajillo, and arbol chilies and spices like bay leaf, oregano, cinnamon, black pepper, and coriander. I paired this with the Peruvian salsa criolla for an acidic punch, and boom. Perfection. This is incredibly annoying to make, not gonna lie, but totally worth it.
