This shopping list includes all ingredients for:

1. Birria Braised Meat (recipe in the newsletter)
   • And serving options: tacos, tortas, and rice bowls
2. Arugula Parmesan Salad (recipe in the newsletter)

If an amount is not listed, you will only need a small amount of the item in the recipe, so just having one package/bottle of that ingredient will be sufficient.

All newsletter recipes feed 1-2 people. Multiply amounts for more servings.

Birria ingredients have a recommended amount listed to make one dutch oven’s worth of braise, which can be used for a few different meals.
