Recipe

4 servings150 min

Ingredients

800 g beef brisket, cut into thin strips
1 onion, halved, plus 1 onion finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, salt
3 tbsp vegetable oil
12 small corn tortillas
200 ml salsa roja
1 bunch cilantro, 2 limes

Method

Put the beef in a pot with the halved onion, garlic, salt and water just to cover and simmer, covered, for about 2 hours until tender.
Uncover and let the liquid cook away so the meat begins to fry in its own fat and the oil.
Chop the meat and crisp it on a hot griddle for a few minutes.
Warm the tortillas on the griddle.
Fill with meat, top with chopped onion, cilantro and salsa roja and serve with lime.

How to make it lighter

Drain the meat well on paper before filling the tortillas — much of the fat stays behind.
Two tacos instead of three already trims the plate noticeably.
Pile on onion, cilantro, lime and salsa — they add a lot of flavour for very few calories.

History

Suadero tacos are a speciality of Mexico City, where they are sold at street stands that cook the meat in its own fat on a domed griddle. They remain one of the city's signature late-night street foods.
