Fremgangsmåde

Trin for trin

1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Ca. 1 min.
2
Add the sliced yellow onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until softened and beginning to brown.
Ca. 6 min.
Kokkens note: Don't rush this step; well-cooked onions provide a sweet flavor base.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and optional serrano pepper, and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Ca. 1 min.
4
Add the diced roma tomatoes and dried oregano. Cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking up the tomatoes with your spoon until they form a chunky sauce.
Ca. 4 min.
5
Add the cooked shredded beef to the skillet, breaking it up and mixing it thoroughly with the vegetables.
Ca. 2 min.
6
Spread the beef mixture into an even layer and cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes to allow the bottom to become brown and crispy.
Ca. 4 min.
Kokkens note: This creates a great texture contrast between the crispy and tender parts of the meat.
7
Stir the mixture and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Ca. 1 min.
8
Serve the romperopas immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges, with warm corn tortillas on the side.
Ca. 1 min.
