About Carne al jugo
Carne al Jugo is a traditional Mexican dish originating from Jalisco, known for its rich and flavorful broth. It features tender beef cuts, typically slow-cooked with ingredients like tomatoes, onions, cilantro, garlic, and green chili peppers for added zest. Some variations include beans or crispy bacon to enhance its taste and texture. This dish is often served with lime wedges and warm corn tortillas, making it a comforting meal. Nutritionally, Carne al Jugo offers a good source of protein from the beef, as well as vitamins and antioxidants from the fresh vegetables and herbs used in the broth. However, its sodium content can be high due to added salt or stock, and the inclusion of fatty cuts or bacon may increase saturated fats. Opting for leaner beef and moderate sodium seasoning can make this dish a healthier option while retaining its authentic flavor.
