Machaca con Heuvos
Machaca con Heuvos
The first time I’ve had machaca was in Vegas at my favorite taco joint, Roberto’s. Machaca is shredded dried beef, sort of like jerky without the smoke, cooked with onions and tomatoes in scrambled eggs. They served it with beans and tortillas. It was so good, I went back the next night and had it in a giant burrito. You can find machaca and any latin grocery store. I actually found some at my local Asian market in their Mexican section. It is sold shredded in containers or in whole pieces. If you buy the whole pieces, the best way to shred is in a food processor.
