SC - Machaca, was RE: South Western dishes

[Engelsberg, Ben]

Machaca is dried shredded beef.  It's usually reconstituted with peppers and
spices, and is a very popular breakfast here in Tucson, and no doubt in
parts farther south.  It is also an excellent hang over cure...


(Side note:  The name seems to derive from the spanish "Machacar": To pound,
as the beef is pounded during initial prep, and the words are far too
similar to be coincidental)

I've determined to eat everything on the menu at least once and to my
delight
they have egg dishes all day. I got a dish called Manchaca con Huevos which
was basically shredded roast beef with vegetables and peppers scrambled
with eggs and served with rice, beans and tortillas. It was also served up
with a pretty firery salsa that has me munching Rolaids this afternoon.
Without the sauce they were a little bland but with it they were wonderful.
I think I have gotten the name of the dish wrong but it was similar.

Thanks for lunch! urp!
