1

Boil 5 eggs and set aside to cool in cold water for easy peeling.

2

In a nonstick pan, brown 1 pound of ground beef without oil using a potato masher to break it apart.

3

Once the ground beef is browned, turn the heat to low to prevent burning while preparing the chicken.

4

Squeeze half a lemon over the chicken to clean it.

5

Season the chicken with powdered ricado, salt, and black pepper, applying some under the skin.

6

Return to the ground beef, turning the heat back to medium.

7

Add diced onions and cilantro to the ground beef, mixing well.

8

Add a little water to the ground beef as it cooks, ensuring it doesn't dry out, and cook for at least 40 minutes.

9

After 40 minutes, check the consistency of the ground beef to ensure it's not too dry or too watery, adding a sprinkle of salt and black pepper if needed.

10

Peel and dice the boiled eggs and mix them into the ground beef once it's cooled slightly.

11

Prepare a large pot for cooking the chicken with the ground beef mixture inside.
