1

Prepare the kitchen and organize the ingredients before starting the recipe.

2

Soak the beef tripe in apple cider vinegar for about 15-20 minutes to reduce the strong odor.

4

Cook for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your stove's heat.

6

Cook the heart in the same pot as the beef cheek with the same ingredients.

7

For the sauce, roast 6 tomatoes, half a bell pepper, a large and a small tomatillo, onion, garlic, and 3 guajillo chiles.

8

Remove the roasted ingredients to avoid burning them and let them cool.

9

Add 2 tortillas to hydrate them in the mixture.

10

Once cooled, blend the roasted ingredients with 3 cups of broth from cooking the beef.

11

Chop the cooked tripe into small pieces.

12

Combine the blended sauce back into the pot with the chopped tripe, heart, and beef cheek.

13

Add 2 more cups of water and bring to a boil.
