Mochomos
Mochomos: shredded beef fried with onion until lightly crispy, served over refried beans with avocado sauce and flour tortillas to build your own tacos.
Dish story
Mochomos are a traditional northern Mexican dish made with dried or shredded beef that is fried until golden and lightly crispy. Regional versions can be found in states such as Sonora, Sinaloa and Chihuahua, where the meat may be prepared with garlic, onion or chiles and served with beans and tortillas.
The meaning behind the name is particularly curious: mochomos refers to leafcutter ants in the Cáhita language, as the small strands of fried meat were said to resemble them.
