Lynn's Dried Beef

4 cups Carne de Res Deshebrada  Kat's Shredded Beef B119
Juice of 1 Mexican lime
2 tablespoons garlic purée
1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
1/3 cup onion, minced
1/2 cup green chile, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons garlic purée

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. To "dry" the meat, toss it with the lime juice and 2 tablespoons garlic purée, place it on a cookie sheet, and bake it for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The meat should be quite dry and beginning to stiffen. If not, continue cooking a few more minutes. The meat can be prepared to this point and then refrigerated, if desired.

To prepare the filling, heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the oil, then the onion, and sauté it until it is just soft but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes.

Makes about 4 cups.
