- 12 lbs beef suadero (beef navel plate) or beef brisket
- 21 cup lard or vegetable oil
- 31 white onion, halved
- 46 cloves garlic
- 51 teaspoon cumin

- 7Salt and black pepper to taste
- 824 small corn tortillas

- 10Fresh cilantro, salsa verde, and lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- 1
Cut the suadero into 2-inch chunks. Place in a large, wide pot with lard, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add just enough water to come halfway up the meat.

Cook over medium heat, uncovered, for 2–2½ hours. As the water evaporates, the beef will start to fry in the rendered fat, browning and crisping on the outside while remaining tender within. Stir and turn occasionally.

When all water has evaporated and only fat remains, increase heat to medium-high and fry the beef pieces until deeply golden and slightly crispy on the outside, about 15 minutes more. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Chop the suadero roughly on a cutting board. Serve in warm double-stacked small corn tortillas with diced onion, fresh cilantro, salsa verde, and lime. This is pure Mexico City street taco perfection.
