👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the Machaca: If your machaca is very hard and dry, you may need to rehydrate it. Place the machaca in a bowl and cover with warm water. Let it soak for about 10-15 minutes until pliable. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. If the machaca is already somewhat soft, you can skip the soaking and proceed to shredding it finely by hand or with two forks.
⏱️ 15 minutes
2
Sauté Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil or lard in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat (about 190°C / 375°F). Add the finely diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced serrano chiles and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
⏱️ 10 minutes
3
Incorporate Machaca: Add the prepared (shredded and dried) machaca to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking up any clumps of machaca. You want it to heat through and slightly crisp up in places, releasing its savory aroma.
⏱️ 7 minutes
4
Add Eggs and Scramble: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the machaca and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Let the eggs set slightly for about 30 seconds, then gently begin to scramble them, folding the machaca mixture into the eggs. Continue to cook and scramble until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become dry.
⏱️ 5 minutes
5
Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the machaca con huevo immediately with warm flour tortillas on the side. The tortillas are perfect for scooping up the scramble or for making small breakfast tacos.
