Method

  1. 1 Grind the dried beef in a mortar until it becomes fluffy and fibrous; "machacado" means it's crushed, so this step cannot be skipped.
  2. 2 Soak the dried beef strips in warm water for 5 minutes, then drain to remove excess salt.
  3. 3 Sauté the onions and green peppers for 3 minutes, then add the chopped tomatoes and stir for 4 minutes.
  4. 4 Add the dried beef and stir-fry for 3 minutes until it absorbs the flavor, then pour in the beaten eggs.
  5. 5 Toss the eggs over low heat for 90 seconds until just tender, then sprinkle with cilantro and wrap in a tortilla.
