Origin
Mexico City — associated with the taquería belt on Insurgentes and weekend market tacos

Description
Suadero is the defining taco filling of Mexico City taquería culture — thin-cut beef from the abdominal area (between the skin and the muscle), slow-cooked in lard in a large flat pan (often the same copper or steel pan used for carnitas) until tender, then crisped at the edges before serving in small corn tortillas with cilantro, onion, salsa verde, and lime. The cut is fatty and gelatinous, producing extraordinary soft texture when cooked correctly.
