Print this Recipe

(Huevos con Machaca)
Category: Egg Dishes
Mexican dried beef (machaca) is a staple in northern Mexico. It goes into tacos, burritos, and gets mixed together with eggs for a robust breakfast. Prepare the machaca a day ahead.


   1 cup Mexican Dried Beef (1/2 recipe)
   2 tablespoons vegetable oil
   1/4 medium onion, finely chopped
   1 jalapeño pepper, seeded, veins removed, and finely chopped
   1 medium tomato, cored and finely chopped
   1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
   1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
   6 large eggs, beaten
   2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
   2 tablespoons crumbled queso fresco (Mexican fresh cheese)


1. Prepare the dried beef a day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using. Heat the oil in a medium skillet.

2. Cook the onion and chile, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the shredded beef, tomato, salt, and pepper. Add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring to scramble, until just set, about 2 to 3 minutes or to desired doneness. Divide the eggs among four serving plates. Sprinkle with cilantro and cheese. Serve hot.
