Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts in the oil until nicely browned on the outside. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add remaining oil to the skillet, and add the broken spaghetti. Cook, stirring constantly until spaghetti is browned. Drain off any excess oil, and add tomatoes and onion. Dice the chicken breasts, and return them to the skillet. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Pour in water, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat until pasta is tender, and water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Check towards the end, and add more water if necessary.
- Spoon the chicken mixture into bowls to serve, and garnish with shredded cheese.

This dish is called Mexican beefsteak because of the colors of the ingredients: white onion, red tomato and green chili. Since white, red and green are the colors of the Mexican National Flag, Mexican beefsteak is one of the most popular dishes in Mexico.

Steps:
- Make the salsa without the lime juice.
- Drop the garlic and chili pieces one at a time into a running food processor, letting each get finely chopped before adding the next. Turn off the processor and remove the lid. Cut 1 tomato in quarters and add it to the food processor, along with the cilantro. Pulse 4 to 6 times, until you have a coarse puree. Scrape the mixture into a bowl.
- Cut the other tomato into ¼ inch pieces and add to the bowl, along with the green onion. Taste and season with lime juice (or vinegar) and salt, usually a generous ½ teaspoons This salsa is best if eaten within an hour or two, but it will keep for a number of hours in the refrigerator.
- Heat a wok (or a very large skillet) over medium high heat. Drizzle in a little olive oil, then, in 2 batches, stir-fry the steak until lightly browned. Remove to a plate, leaving behind as much oil as possible. Stir-fry the salsa until reduced - this can take up to 10 minutes. Add about ½ cup water or beef broth, return the browned meat to the pan and bring to a boil. Serve, passing around quartered limes and extra chopped green chili and cilantro.

PUNTAS DE RES A LA MEXICANA
Puntas de res a la Mexicana-which translates to Mexican-style beef tips-have me wondering if they are possibly the original fajitas? The classic combination of sliced tender beef, bell peppers, tomatoes and onions is unmistakably fajitas. The definition of "Mexican-style" refers to the use of tomatoes, chiles and onions-a foundation of many Mexican dishes. But puntas de res pick up where fajitas leave off: A dry spice rub on the meat imparts a great deal of flavor, and a luxurious sauce coats the stewed beef, tomatoes and fresh chiles güeros that are mellow but have just enough of a kick and a whole lot of flavor. This dish is a classic and the flavor punch will keep you coming back for another tortilla-full. The best part? It comes together in under an hour, making it perfectly suitable for weeknight dinner. Chiles güeros can be easily found at your local Latino market or substituted with fresh jalapeño.

Steps:
- Working against the grain, slice the beef into thin strips about 1/2 inch thick and 1 inch long.
- In a molcajete or mortar and pestle, crush the cumin, peppercorns, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt to form a coarse paste. (Alternatively, make the paste by finely mincing the garlic into a paste and mixing in ground spices until well incorporated. Reduce the spice amount in the recipe to half if using ground.)
- Rub the paste all over the beef using your hands. Cook right away, or transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to cook, up to overnight.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot and shimmering. Add the onion and cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the beef and cook until lightly browned and fully cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add the tomatoes, chiles and bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables have softened, the tomatoes have released their juices and the sauce coats the back of a spoon, 20 to 25 minutes. Taste and season with salt, about 1 teaspoon.
- Serve in shallow bowls with a side of refried beans and piping hot tortillas.
Tips:
- For the most authentic flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level to your liking.
- If you can't find Mexican oregano, you can substitute regular oregano.
- Serve fideo a la Mexicana with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
- Fideo a la Mexicana is also a great dish to make ahead of time. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
