Arracheras—beef fajitas —are very popular all over Mexico but notwithstanding how easy they are to prepare, most people in central and south Mexico prefer the restaurant versions. Here is my “simple as it can be” favorite version.
Ingredients
Tacos de Arrachera
- 2 lbs beef fajitas whole
- 4 each medium avocado
- salt
- 20 each tortillas
Chipotle Salsa
- 2-3 each medium sized tomatoes
- 2 each chiles chipotles en adobo (canned)
- 1/4 each onion
- 1 clove garlic
- salt to taste
Servings: tacos
Instructions
- In a charcoal grill using mesquite or oak charcoal, cook the meat that has been salted to your taste over coals (avoid flames).
- Once the meat is ready remove and heat the tortillas on the grill. Slice the meat and make tacos adding slices of avocado and salsa on top.
- Place more tortillas over the coals until they become tostadas. Reserve. Once you are done with the meat, prepare yourself some tostadas with avocado or guacamole or salsa. Cerveza improves the experience.
Chipotle Salsa
- Mix the ingredients in a molcajete or a blender (pulse mode) avoiding a purée consistency. A rough texture is desired.
