Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 0.5 lbs Bacon, chopped
• 6 pieces Tomatillos, husked and washed
• 1 medium White onion, quartered
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 0.5 bunch Fresh cilantro
• 2 cups Canned pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 3 cups Water
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Chicken bouillon powder
• 2 pieces Lime, cut into wedges, for serving
• 5 pieces Radishes, thinly sliced, for garnish
• 1 large Avocado, diced, for garnish
• 12 pieces Tortillas, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Place the tomatillos, white onion, garlic, and cilantro in a blender. Add 1 cup of water and blend until smooth. Set the sauce aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the thinly sliced beef to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir frequently to brown the beef evenly.

Step 4

Once the beef is browned, pour the blended tomatillo sauce into the pot. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Add the chicken bouillon powder and the remaining 2 cups of water. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the drained pinto beans and crispy bacon back into the pot during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Stir well and taste to adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Serve the Carne en su Jugo hot, garnished with lime wedges, sliced radishes, and diced avocado. Pair with fresh tortillas for a complete meal.
