Machaca

Machaca  ma't͡ʃaka  is a traditionally dried meat, spiced beef or pork, which has been rehydrated and used in the popular local cuisine of Northern Mexico and Southwestern United States and which is easily available from many ethnic groceries and supermarkets in these areas. In areas where the dried meat product is not easy to obtain, slow cooked roast beef (brisket) or skirt steak shredded then fried is sometimes substituted.
