MACHACA 
6 eggs
2 tbsp. oil or butter for skillet
1/4 lb. or so of cooked meat (chicken, pork, or beef)
2 to 4 tbsp. salsa
2 to 4 tbsp. catsup
1/2 to 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 to 4 tbsp. diced Jalapeno peppers
1/4 to 1/2 c. diced onions
1 to 2 cloves garlic, finely diced or run thru garlic press
1/8 tsp. salt (optional)
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 to 1/2 c. milk or water
Tortillas and butter for tortillas

Heat butter or oil in heavy skillet until moderately hot. Add onions, and garlic. Cook until soft. Add cooked meat. Cook 1 to 2 minutes. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with the milk or water, then add salsa, Worcestershire sauce, Jalapeno peppers, catsup, pepper, and salt. Beat until well blended. Pour egg mixture all at once into the skillet of meat and onions and garlic. Cook at low heat, scraping cooked portions from sides and bottom of skillet, until all is thickened and cooked. If it is too watery, it can be cooked down at a low heat until it is thicker. Serve with warmed or heated tortillas, which may be buttered. Torn portions of the tortillas may be used to wrap around portions of the egg mixture for bite-sized pieces, or a whole tortilla may be wrapped around a portion of the egg mixture and eaten like a burrito. At least 2 tortillas per person is advised. Serves 4 to 6.

Thank you very much for sharing this recipe. I'm originally from Alaska and I moved 37 years ago. No one here knew what machacas were so I haven't had them in years. I used your recipe and it turned out very much like what I remember... Absolutely delicious! Thanks again for sharing
