Machaca con huevo

Machaca con huevo, also called machacado con huevo, combines finely shredded dried beef with eggs. Pati Jinich’s preparation uses machaca or finely shredded beef jerky, together with a salsa of tomato, garlic, onion and serrano or jalapeño chilli. The vegetables are first charred on a comal or under a broiler, then chopped or ground into a coarse salsa.^[1]

The dried beef is briefly cooked in oil before the salsa is added and allowed to thicken. Beaten eggs are stirred into the mixture and cooked with the sauced beef. Jinich serves it with warm refried beans and flour tortillas, which can be used to make tacos or eaten alongside. These vegetables and accompaniments describe her version of the beef-and-egg dish.^[1]
