Pastor, steak, chicken and bacon cooked with bell pepper, onions and melted cheese.

Where this dish comes from

Alambre is Mexico City's great sizzling skillet preparation — strips of carne asada, bacon, bell peppers, and onions cooked together on a hot comal or iron skillet until the bacon renders, the vegetables soften and char at the edges, and everything melds into a unified preparation topped with melted cheese. It is street food from the taquerías around the Mexico City airport and central bus stations, but it has spread across the country because the combination — beef, bacon, vegetables, melted cheese — is frankly irresistible.

Ingredients
  • 500g thin beef strips (sirloin or skirt, sliced 0.25 inch thick against the grain)
  • 150g bacon, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced; 1 green bell pepper, sliced; 1 white onion, sliced
  • 1.5 cups shredded Oaxacan string cheese or Monterey Jack
  • Salt and pepper; neutral oil; salsa verde and salsa roja; warm flour tortillas; lime wedges
Instructions
  1. 1

    Season beef strips with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat a wide cast iron to maximum heat until smoking.

  3. 3

    Spread beef strips in a single layer. Do not stir for 2 minutes — direct-contact char must form.

  4. 4

    Cook diced bacon alongside until crispy. Add sliced peppers and onion.

  5. 5

    When all components have color and char at the edges, combine everything in the center of the cast iron.

  6. 6

    Top with shredded cheese. Cover with a lid for 60 seconds to melt.

  7. 7

    Serve sizzling directly from the cast iron. Warm flour tortillas alongside. Salsa verde and roja in ramekins.
