There are several ways that you can prepare meat that will make it taste completely different. Eddie’s Mexican Restaurant is here to talk about some of the ways that meat is prepared and used in Mexican cuisine.

Beef

Beef is one of the most delicious meats used in Mexican food. It can be prepared several different ways to create different dishes. Here are some of the most common ways that beef is prepared for different Mexican dishes:
– Carne Asada: If you were to translate carne asada to English it would mean “grilled meat.” It is one of the most popular ways to have beef in Mexican food. It is marinated in lime, cilantro, salt and pepper and grilled. This meat is generally used in tacos, burritos, and more. It is usually made using flank steak.
– Birria: In Mexico, birria is made using goat meat. However, in the states, it is made mostly using beef. This meat is eaten as a stew quite often, but the juice it is cooked, known as a consommé, make it incredibly tender and delicious. It is often put inside tacos and is a popular street food.
– Lengua: Another popular Mexican meat is lengua or cow tongue. It is often prepared as a roast, but many people prefer it chopped up and served inside tacos.

Pork

Pork is another meat that is prepared in different ways for different Mexican dishes. It is delicious no matter how it is prepared. Here are a few ways you can enjoy this delicious meat:
– Al Pastor: This pork takes hours to slow cook and is marinated in yummy spices and ingredients like pineapple, chile, and cilantro. It is usually cooked on a vertical spit for hours until it has reached the ultimate tenderness.
– Carnitas: When you choose carnitas, you are in for a treat. This pork is stewed, and shredded before it is pan fried in lard to create a delicious crispy meat that is used in burritos, tacos, fajitas and more.
– Chorizo: This spicy, pork sausage is a delicious addition to your burritos and tacos. This is a common meat used in breakfast dishes and has a delicious flavor.
