Recipe Wanted for Machacado con Huevo

Can't Post | Private Reply

I know that machacado is basically dried beef, similar to beef jerky. I want to know how to prep it before I mix it with the eggs. What type of salsa does it take, and how is it prepared?

This is pretty much the same as what a comadre from Sinaloa taught me. If using jalapeño instead of serrano, you'd want fresh ones, not canned.

Chayito also taught me to "clean" the carne machacada first, working through it with your fingers and taking out any nasty little bits of sinew and other hard stuff before cooking it. This serves to shred it slightly more and fluff it, and it makes a world of difference to me.

Machaca (as she calls it) can be quite salty, so I add salt after cooking, only if needed. Usually it's fine as is.

¡Buen provecho!
