- 1 tsp finely chopped garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 4 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 lbs suadero meat
Suadero Tacos
- 2 tbs vegetable oil
- 2 lbs suadero meat (marinated)
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1/2 finely diced white onion
- enough water to cover the meat
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp finely chopped cilantro
- hot salsa (optional)
Instructions
Suadero Marinade
- Mix all these ingredients and cover your meat with the marinade. Put your meat in a ziplock bag or any deep container and cover it with a lid together with the marinade.
- Leave the meat in the marinade in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Afterward, cut your marinated meat into chunks and fry it.
Suadero Tacos
- Put your beef and its fat into a wok and cover it with water. Put on fire and let it cook for around two hours or until your meat is tender. Alternatively, you can use a Dutch oven.
- If the water is not enough to cook the meat leaving it soft and tender, add more. Since suadero meat is tough, it needs to cook longer to become tender. If you own a pressure cooker, it will save you a lot of time and headache, as your meat will be ready in around 35 minutes. You can also opt for a crockpot, which will cook the beef in six hours while on its low setting.
- Once your meat is tender and the broth has reduced, you will notice the meat starting to brown with the fat. You can choose to use a chopping board to chop the meat or shred it and then put it back in the wok. Let the beef brown to your liking before creating the tacos.
- Once you have cooked your meat as previously directed, you need to warm your tortillas in the form of tacos. Top up your tacos with finely chopped cilantro and onions and season well with salt. You can also have the meat cooked in advance and brown it on your griddle as you warm your tortillas whenever a guest pops in unannounced. That way, you can serve this mouth-watering dish in record time.
- You will find cooks at taco stands slow-cooking the meat in heavy pots or on a sizeable dome-shaped griddle. They preserve the meat juices to keep it moist. You can also use the griddle to warm your tortillas. To cook your suadero meat, use any kind of pot and a griddle or skillet to brown it.
- You can serve this Mexican cuisine delicacy as the main course to your customers or visitors at home. To make your suadero tacos the Mexican ways, prepare some salsa. Here is a recipe to a very classic radish salsa.
