Huevo con machaca is a quick, hearty Mexican breakfast made with dried beef, eggs, tomatoes, onion, garlic and cilantro. Top with chile Serrano and serve with warm tortillas. Chop tomatoes and onion. Then finely chop garlic, Serrano chili and cilantro. Heat pan to medium and pour in cooking oil. Add shredded beef to the pan and quickly stir.
Gather the ingredients. Heat the lard or oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sauté the onion and serrano chili for about 20 seconds. Add the machaca and cook for about 1 minute more. Mix in the tomatoes and seasonings. Remove the mixture from the pan and set aside, keeping it warm.
In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the onions and chile verde. Cook for 3 minutes or until soft. Add the tomatoes and cook and cook for two more minutes. Then add the machaca and mix to combine well. Add the scrambled eggs and cook until eggs are no longer runny. Serve warm.
But my favorite way to eat machaca is with scrambled eggs, tomatoes, and onions for a delicious skillet breakfast or machaca con huevo burritos. If you want some added heat you can also toss in some finely diced jalapeño or garnish with homemade salsa.
