Machaca con Huevo (Shredded Beef with Egg)

Machaca con Huevo also known as Shredded Beef with Egg. This is a traditional Mexican breakfast dish.

When I was younger we would go to Mexican restaurants and this dish would be the first one I would look for. Shredded Beef and eggs where two of my favorite dishes at the time. So what a perfect dish this one is for me, Machaca con Huevo.

My mom would also make this dish all the time but I don’t remember how she would make it. Makes me sad, she was the best cook (I guess everyone would say that about their mothers). What makes me sad is I did not learn how to cook like she did.

Here the picture on top is the shredded beef cooked. Does not need much seasoning only salt and pepper when cooking in the slow cooker.

Make the slow cooker your friend, I know the IN thing is the pressure cooker. But if it’s not broken why fix it. Here are a few of my other slow cooker recipes Lentil Chili, Slow Cooked Beef Stew Meat with Red Rice and Slow Cooked Spicy Shredded Chicken.

The picture here at the bottom is where the shredded meat is going to get it’s flavoring.

Sauté the onion, green bell pepper, jalapeño and tomato for 5 mins. Once it is slightly translucent add one cup of water, garlic powder, salt and my favorite ground cumin. Simmer for 5-10 mins just so the shredded beef heats through and the spices marry together.

This is your finial product of the Machaca, now you add your scrambled eggs and you have Machaca con Huevo.

You can sever Machaca con Huevo with a side of refried beans, corn tortillas or Homemade Flour Tortillas. By its self into a burrito would be delicious as well.
