Steps

1

First, cook the pinto beans. Then, fry the bacon. In the bacon fat, sauté the green onions.
2

In the same fat, add the beef with salt and pepper. Let it cook in its own juices until it is no longer red. Meanwhile, cook the tomatoes and 2 jalapeño peppers (I use one whole and one with the seeds and veins removed so it's not too spicy for kids). As soon as the tomatoes change color, they're ready—be careful not to let them burst so they don't turn bitter. Blend the cooked tomatoes, jalapeños, a piece of onion, 3 garlic cloves, some green onion stems, and a small bunch of cilantro until smooth.
3

Once the beef is cooked, add the blended mixture (do not strain). Let it simmer for 30 to 40 minutes until the meat is very tender. Chop onion, cilantro, and serrano pepper to serve as toppings. Chop the bacon as well.
4

Serve the beef with its broth, pinto beans, bacon, green onions, chopped onion, cilantro, serrano pepper, and lime to taste. Enjoy with warm corn tortillas. Happy New Year!
