For many of you, suadero may not immediately conjure a taco of beefy tasting bits of crisped meat, but that’s too bad! Especially in Mexico City, when you see a chorizera—that cooking vessel with a dome in the center and a gurgling moat of fat surrounding it—everyone’s mouths water for suadero.

The meat is cooked until tender confit style in the fat, then chopped and crisped on the hot dome before piling it on a tortilla, ready for salsa. A lot of folks will tell you that suadero meat is one of the beefy-tasting, tough cuts from the belly section, often a cut called navel. But I’ve seen cooks in Mexico use lots of other cuts too—pretty much anything that has a rich taste and needs a long, slow cook to tenderize it. Since many of the cuts used by the pros in Mexico aren’t easily available in States-side grocery stores, I’m calling for brisket here, preferably the brisket flat (not the point), which is most richly marbled.

Street vendors using a chorizera typically cook tripe and longaniza sausage in the same fat with the beef, creating a very rich-tasting medium for the long, slow cooking. Since a chorizera might be out of the question for a lot of you, I’m suggesting that you do that slow cooking in a slow cooker and, if it appeals to you, add a little chorizo to more closely resemble the fat of the street vendors.
