Ingredients
- 4 fresh tomatillos (husks removed)
- 3 serrano chile peppers (seeded and chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (peeled)
- 3 cups water
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 pounds flank steak (cut into 1/2-inch squares)
- 4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
- 2 15.5 ounce cans pinto beans
- 1/2 onion (chopped)
- 6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1 lime (cut into 6 wedges)
Steps
-
Combine the tomatillos, serrano peppers, garlic, and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool. Transfer the contents to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
-
Cook the bacon in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
-
Drain the bacon grease, leaving a tablespoon or so in the pot. Add the flank steak to the hot pot and cook until completely browned. Pour the tomatillo mixture over the beef and bring to a boil.
-
Stir the chicken bouillon into the mixture, and reduce heat to medium. Cover the pot and simmer until tender, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
-
Stir the pinto beans into the flank steak mixture and simmer a few minutes until warm; divide the mixture between 6 bowls. Garnish each with bacon, onion, cilantro, black pepper, and a lime wedge.
