If there is a dish that constantly reminds us of mom and home, it is undoubtedly the beef mincemeat. This owes its name because its ingredients are the most finely chopped. The main element in its preparation is meat, which is usually beef or sometimes pork and is accompanied by vegetables and a sauce.

Like other typical Mexican dishes, each state does it in its own way, let's start with Chiapas, where they usually accompany beef with corn, cabbage, zucchini, chayote, carrot, potato and hearts of palm. While in Oaxaca, they use pork and add tomato, garlic, onion, cinnamon, bay leaf, plantain, olives, and ingredients to make a sweet mincemeat such as raisins and almonds.
