This is a family recipe handed down from the Mexican side of my family. Of course, no one makes it like my mom but I still try. Reheating it the next day is even better! Perfect for Cinco de Mayo celebrations.

Mexican Carne Guisada in flour tortillas.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Try this Mexican Carne Guisada for Cinco de Mayo or your next taco night. The meat becomes tender and very flavorful. The tenderness is enhanced when the meat simmers in beef broth. That broth cooks down into a delicious sauce that coats the meat. These tacos have a real authentic flavor. Serve on tortillas with cheese, sour cream, and an extra sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a real treat.
