Ingredients

6 servings

•

6 slices bacon
•

3 cups water
•

4 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
•

3 serrano chile peppers, seeded and chopped
•

1 clove garlic, peeled
•

2 pounds flank steak, cut into 1/2-inch squares

•

1 cube chicken bouillon
•

2 (15.5 ounce) cans pinto beans
•

0.5 onion, chopped
•

6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
•

ground black pepper, to taste
•

1 lime, cut into 6 wedges

Instructions

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble bacon and set aside.
Combine water, tomatillos, serrano peppers, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Transfer contents to a blender; blend until smooth and set aside. (You can skip the simmering step and blend raw tomatillos, peppers, and garlic with water and a few pieces of browned flank steak if you like.)
Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir flank steak in the hot skillet until completely browned. Pour tomatillo mixture over beef and bring to a boil. Stir in chicken bouillon and reduce heat to medium. Cover the skillet and simmer until tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, heat pinto beans in a saucepan over medium heat until warm; reduce heat to low to keep warm until needed.
Stir bacon and pinto beans into flank steak mixture; divide mixture between 6 bowls. Garnish each with onion, cilantro, black pepper, and a lime wedge.
