Ingredients
- 1 pound very fresh mackerel fillets or other saltwater fish fillets, such as grouper, halibut, striped bass, red snapper, or fluke, skinned, rinsed, and cut into 1-2 inch pieces
- 1 cup peeled and coarsely chopped carrots
- 1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1 jalapeño or serrano chile halved, seeded if desired, and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
- ½ teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 10 tostadas homemade or store bought
- 1 large ripe tomato thinly sliced
- 1 large ripe avocado halved, pitted, meat scooped out, and sliced
How to make it
To prepare
Place tomatillos and serrano chiles in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until completely cooked through and soft. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatillos and chiles to the jar of a blender along with the cilantro and a teaspoon of salt. Puree until completely smooth and set aside.
In a large casserole or Dutch oven, fry the chopped bacon over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, add the streak to bacon fat and cook until it starts to render all its juices. Once it does, add the onion and the broth. Continue cooking for about 15 minutes.
Incorporate the tomatillo puree and continue cooking for another 15 minutes, until meat is completely tender and broth has seasoned.
Serve the carne en su jugo in bowls along with a ladle of cooked pinto beans, and top with the crisp bacon. Place chopped white onion, cilantro, and lime wedges on the table for everyone to add as they please. You can serve with warm corn tortillas and a side of fresh guacamole.
