This culinary preparation involves braising meat, traditionally goat or beef, in a flavorful broth seasoned with dried chiles and spices. The resulting tender meat is then shredded and often served in tacos or quesadillas, with the consomm used as a dipping sauce. A specific version utilizes an electric pressure cooker to expedite the cooking process. A common application is to prepare tacos with the shredded meat, dipped in the broth.
The utilization of a pressure cooker significantly reduces the cooking time required to achieve the desired tenderness in the meat, making it a more accessible dish for home cooks. Furthermore, the enclosed environment of the pressure cooker helps to concentrate the flavors, resulting in a richer and more intense broth. This method provides a convenient alternative to traditional slow-cooking methods while maintaining the essential flavor profile of the dish. The adoption of this streamlined process allows wider accessibility and adaptation to contemporary culinary practices.
