Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of avocado oil. Sauté the diced onions until golden brown.
- Mix in your shredded chuck roast (or shredded beef) and lightly brown.
- Add in your tomatoes, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Let your tomatoes cook down about 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, crack your eggs directly into your skillet over the shredded beef. Gently stir and fold them into the machaca until scrambled and set. Avoid overcooking the meat and eggs, ad the meat will become tough.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately.
- Garnish with jalapeños, cilantro, and/or fresh queso fresco. Provecho amigos!
Notes
For the meat, I cooked my chuck roast in an Instapot like I would any pot roast (minus the potatoes). I cooked the beef in bone broth, with onions, carrots, salt, and pepper. Once cooked shredded and cooled before making the machaca. Traditionally, Machaca can also be made with dried, salted shredded beef.
