Southern Arizona: New Mexico
built 187 days ago
Sonora and southern Arizona are truly beef country, and the traditional Mexican diet to this day includes a lot of beef. You can cook your beef over a grill, and it becomes carne asada. It is even said that a high Mexican government official in the 1920s described Sonora as the place "where civilization ends and carne asada begins." Chop your beef into cubes and cook it with red chile sauce and you have carne de chile colorado, a dish that has been a mainstay of the local diet since at least the 1750s, w hen the German Jesuit missionary Ignaz Pfefferkorn tasted some and thought he had put hellfire into his mouth. You can cook it with green chile too, but that isn't as popular here as it is in New Mexico. If you cut your beef into thin strips, dry it, shre d it, and cook it up with chiles, onions, garlic and some tomatoes, you have machaca, a wonderful dish ... called carne seca or "dry meat."
