Esperanza,
How is aporreadillo different than "manchaga" I may have misspelled that but it is the dish of northern areas.

Well, husker, I'm not sure what you mean. 'Manchego' is a cheese, but there's no cheese in aporreadillo. Other than that...give me another hint, please, and I'll be happy to post back.

Are you thinking of "machaca"? I'm curious also as to how machaca con huevo differs from aporreadillo. Perhaps it's the chiles or salsa in the aporreadillo. Maybe they're just regional names for pretty much the same thing.

Then, there's "tasajo" and "cecina". ¿Que pasa?

Saludos,

Aha, machaca! The recipes for huevos con machaca and aporreadillo are indeed similar, but not the same. Both are made with dried meat (aporreadillo is made with cecina, while huevos con machaca is made with machaca, of course), eggs, and chile. Cecina and machaca, while similar, are not the same kind of dried meat. Cecina is made of all beef, while machaca is most often a mix of meats.

The major difference in preparation is that while huevos con machaca are a dry dish and not usually overly picante, aporreadillo is extremely spicy and served in a bowl with a large quantity of caldillo.

"...aporreadillo is extremely spicy and served in a bowl with a large quantity of caldillo."

Why, dear Esperanza, do you continue to torture me about this dish???

Know of any where in the Lake Chapala area that might have a decent version?

If so, ever yours.
