Cooking steps for Machaca GF

  1. 1

    In a bowl, rehydrate the dried machaca with 1 cup gluten-free beef broth. Cover and let soak for 15-20 minutes until soft.

  2. 2

    Drain any excess liquid from the rehydrated machaca and gently pat dry with a clean towel.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell peppers; sauté until tender and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add minced garlic; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Stir in the rehydrated machaca; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and glossy, about 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Pour in crushed tomatoes; add cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer on medium-low for 8-10 minutes to meld flavors.

  7. 7

    In a separate skillet, scramble the eggs until just set (about 3-4 minutes).

  8. 8

    Fold the scrambled eggs into the machaca mixture and mix well to combine.

  9. 9

    Stir in chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

  10. 10

    To serve, place portions of machaca with eggs on warm gluten-free corn tortillas. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired and serve with lime wedges.
