Carne en su Jugo - Jalisco’s Iconic Beef + Bacon Soup

Описание: It might be the start of summer, but in Mexico, caldo season never ends. There’s a saying that eating hot soup when it’s hot out actually cools you down and Mexican moms have been onto this forever! So I present, one of my favorite bowls: Carne en su Jugo

A specialty of Jalisco, this dish brings together thinly sliced beef, crispy bacon, beans, and a tomatillo-forward broth — all topped off with radishes, cilantro, lime, and avocado. It’s bold, brothy, and everything I want in a comforting meal, no matter the season.

Season the beef with salt and pepper and allow to sit at room temp for an hour. Heat oil in an appropriately sized pan over high heat.
