Then they add half of a lamb and boil for a long while. The end result is what they call "barbacoa". Sorry I can't be more specific on the preparation, but it is tradition for them to make it overnight and serve around 11am on special occasions. I am only around for the end result. Typically we eat with corn tortillas, various types of salsa, avocado, onion, cilantro, and lime. They take the broth from the barbacoa and make a soup they call "consume", which contains veggies. It is also garnished with lime, cilantro, and onion. Anyway, when they say barbacoa they are referring to the preparation and end result.
