Latin American due to its dense population of more than 5 million people living in the city and metropolitan area. Maybe you have heard of Jalisco before because it is the birthplace of our world-famous Tequila.

But Jalisco is more than just Tequila, moreover, it has extensive gastronomy. The Jalisco’s gastronomy is celebrated for dishes like Birria, Pozole, Tortas Ahogadas, tamales, Coachella, pacholas, tostadas tapatías, frijoles puercos, besides an endless number of salsas, just to mention a few. Carne en su Jugo is a concentrated flavorful broth of beef meat finely diced and served with beans plus a wide array of toppings served alongside. I had been to Jalisco three times in my life, and in my last visit, I had a personal agenda of visiting as many typical restaurants, markets and street food stands as humanly possible. Of course, Carne en su Jugo was included in my agenda. Now, that meat broth didn’t include tomatillos, it was just the meat broth and the beans.

There are many versions of this recipe that include tomatillos vs. Personally, I prefer the kind that includes tomatillos. So here is my own adaptation of this popular dish with the option of adding the tomatillos, and that will be up to you to decide to add. The standard garnishes are the cooked bacon, lime wedges, chopped onion, and cilantro. Finely cut the meat into thin slices and then into small cubes. Place the meat in a glass bowl.
