Barbacoa is a Mexican/central American dish featuring slow-cooked, tender meat (often beef, lamb, or goat) seasoned with spices and chiles, traditionally roasted in a pit. In modern kitchens it refers to a similar slow-roasted preparation, yielding smoky, moist meat and a rich, spicy aroma. The term also denotes the cooking method and the style of the dish itself.
