A bolw of caldillo de carne seca with cilantro and Mexican oregano alongside.

If there is an emblematic recipe for my upcoming book Borderlands, this may be it.

Caldillo de carne seca, which translates more or less to “little stew of dried meat,” is widespread in its various incarnations all over northern Mexico, as well as parts of our side of the border, too, notably Arizona and southern New Mexico.
