Please do!!!!! I’ve never made machaca and I love it!
Sorry for the delay. Here’s the Machaca recipe (this is verbatim as received from my mom):
“Brown a cross rib (also called a shoulder roast) slightly in a frying pan with a little olive oil. Place in crock pot, and add at least a very large cut up onion, two large green pepper, and 5 to 6 crushed cloves of fresh garlic.
Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours. When cool enough to handle you can shred the beef completely. I actually take scissors and cut the beef up in smaller pieces rather than shred it. Be sure to remove all the fat you can first.
Then add a 32 ounce can of chopped green chiles, salt and pepper, and two to 3 tsp of ground Cumen. Start with two tsp and taste it. Add the other tsp (or more if you like).”
Serve as burritos, topped with sour cream, cheese, lettuce (I prefer shredded cabbage, as it’s crisper), tomatoes, guacamole, salsa etc. Also great on rice, as you would serve adobo or beef mechado.
The is such a simple recipe, and I’ve never gotten any but rave reviews when I’ve served it. Enjoy!
