Machacado con huevo, Machaca con huevo, or Huevos con machaca is a dish consisting of shredded dry beef that is scrambled with eggs. Its name means "shredded with eggs" in Spanish. The shredded dry beef, carne seca or "machaca", is said to have originated in the town of Ciénega de Flores, about 20 miles north of Monterrey, Mexico. The early settlers in the area air-cured beef so that it would be preserved.
