    Chef Larry's Notes
    Machaca is typically a mixture of beef, tomatoes, onions, peppers and spices simmered together. Less tender cuts of beef are used so the process of simmering helps to infuse flavor while cooking the meat until tender. In this recipe the turkey is cooked and needs only to be moistened with a Ranchero Sauce. Chicken, shrimp, crabmeat or cooked shredded pork may be substituted for turkey in this recipe.
