'''Machaca''' is a traditional [[Mexican cuisine|Mexican]] dish that originated in the northern states of [[Sonora]], [[Sinaloa]], [[Chihuahua]], [[Durango]], and [[Zacatecas]]. The dish is made from dried, spiced [[beef]] or [[pork]], which is then rehydrated and shredded. It is often served in dishes such as [[burritos]], [[tacos]], or [[scrambled eggs]].

== History ==
The origins of Machaca can be traced back to the ranching culture of Northern Mexico. The process of drying meat was a common method of preservation during the pre-refrigeration era. The meat, usually beef, was marinated in a mixture of spices and then sun-dried. Once dried, the meat could be stored for long periods and was a staple food for cowboys and ranchers.

== Preparation ==
The traditional method of preparing Machaca involves taking lean beef or pork and marinating it in a mixture of spices. The meat is then sun-dried until it becomes hard and leathery. Once dried, the meat is shredded into thin strands. To serve, the dried meat is rehydrated and cooked with a variety of ingredients, such as onions, peppers, and tomatoes. It can be served as a main dish or used as a filling for tacos, burritos, or scrambled eggs.

== Variations ==
There are several variations of Machaca, including ''Machaca con huevo'' (Machaca with eggs) and ''Machaca con chile'' (Machaca with chili). Some modern versions of the dish use slow-cooked beef or pork instead of dried meat. In the United States, particularly in the Southwest, Machaca has been adapted into the Tex-Mex cuisine with dishes like Machaca Burritos.
