Dish story
Pastramex is an exclusive recipe created by Cutzamala Mex Food, born from our passion for reimagining classic dishes through the flavours of Mexico. Inspired by the traditional pastrami-making process, we developed our own version where Mexican chillies take centre stage. After extensive testing, we created a dish with its own identity that blends tradition, creativity and bold Mexican flavours. Pastramex is available exclusively at Cutzamala Mex Food.
Cutzamala version
Our Pastramex is made with beef brisket cured in a fragrant spiced brine and coated with a blend of guajillo and chipotle chillies. It is then slow-roasted for four hours until exceptionally tender and juicy. We serve it on a wheat tortilla with a creamy chipotle chickpea purée, pickled onions and jalapeños. An exclusive recipe developed by Cutzamala Mex Food that you won't find anywhere else.
Main ingredients
Guajillo is one of the most iconic dried chillies in Mexican cuisine. Known for its mild heat and fruity flavour, it adds colour, aroma and depth to marinades, spice rubs and traditional sauces. In our Pastramex, it forms part of the spice crust that coats the meat during slow roasting, creating a rich yet balanced flavour profile.
