Adapted from Savoring Mexico and tweaked for our personal tastes. This is a dish from Jalisco that is indescribably delicious. It's a gorgeous soupy, spicy dish that is somehow hearty and light at the same time. If you use canned beans or they are already cooked - it is great for a weeknight soup and a sandwich! My times are estimates, as I had to make this in steps & more steps(depending on availability of kitchen)! Ingredients:
1/2 lb good-quality bacon, cut into small sticks |
1 lb beef sirloin tip, thinly sliced on the diagonal and then coarsely chopped |
4 cups homemade rich beef broth or 4 cups homemade beef stock |
2 chipotle chiles in adobo |
2 small bay leaves |
2 teaspoons sea salt |
1 teaspoon ground pepper |
1/2 lb dried beans, soaked, cooked and drained (red beans, or black beans or white beans) or 2 cups beans, canned & drained (red beans, or black beans or white beans) |
1/2 cup chopped cilantro |
8 large spring onions, sliced horizontally |
4 serrano chilies or 2 jalapeno chiles, minced |
2 limes, quartered |
avocado, slices |
Directions:
1. In a frying pan, slowly fry the chopped bacon over medium-low heat until crisp, then remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
2. Raise the heat to med-high and cook the beef in the bacon drippings for about 2 minutes.
3. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon, and place in a large, heavy pot.
4. Put chipotles in a blender with about 1 cup of the beef broth, and blend until smooth.
5. Add the chile-beef liquid to the large pot, along with the remaining beef broth, the bay leaves, salt and pepper.
6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
7. Cover and simmer until the meat is tender, approximately 20 minutes.
8. Warm the beans over med-low heat.
9. When meat is cooked, divide the beans among 4 bowls, then ladle the meat and the broth over the beans.
10. Garnish with the bacon and cilantro, and lay 2 onions along the rim of each bow, as well as the avocado slices.
11. Pass the diced serranos and limes at the table, and enjoy with good-quality tortilla chips.
