Machacado con huevo
Mexican dish made of shredded beef
Machacado con huevo, Machaca con huevo, or Huevos con machaca is a dish consisting of shredded dry beef that is scrambled with eggs. Its name means "shredded with eggs" in Spanish. The shredded dry beef, carne seca or "machaca", is said to have originated in the town of Ciénega de Flores, about an hour's drive north of Monterrey, Mexico.[1][2] The early settlers in the area air-cured beef so that it would be preserved.[3][4][5][6]
The basic machacado con huevo is made with eggs and dried beef. Chopped tomatoes, onions and jalapeños or serrano chili peppers can be added, or salsa can be cooked into it, to create another version. This is a traditional dish in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo León that is usually eaten at breakfast, but was also eaten at other meals.[7] In the US, this breakfast or brunch dish is popular in Texas.[3][8][9]
