Time 2h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs extra lean ground beef
4 -6 roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 serranos, seeded and minced
1 medium onion, diced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
5 -7 limes, juiced
1 tablespoon white vinegar
salt and pepper

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, serranos, onion and cilantro. Add meat and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, and add lime juice and vinegar. You don't want too much lime juice/vinegar, just enough to thoroughly distribute through the meat to 'cook' it. I usually start with about 4 or 5 limes, and go from there. Sometimes I don't use the vinegar.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate about 1 to 2 hours, stirring well every 30 minutes or so, and adding more lime juice if necessary. It may not take 2 hours, you just want the beef to be mostly brown.
I serve with tortilla chips and Salsa Valentina (found in Mexican food aisle).

Time P1DT10m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef (must be lean....like 99% lean)
8 ounces lemon juice
coarse salt and pepper
6 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly minced
3/4 cup tomatoes, medium dice
1/4 cup onion, medium dice
2 chipotle peppers, cut in strips

Steps:

In a shallow dish (i use a shallow baking dish) spread out the ground beef evenly. Pour the lemon juice on it and mix it in well with a fork.
Leave in refrigerator overnight, mixing with a fork every few hours so as to "cook" the beef.
When ready to serve, add the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, chipotle peppers, salt, and pepper.
I usually serve this on tostadas with a little hot sauce (valentina brand preferred, found in mexican section in grocery stores.).
