Step 1
Cut the suadero into a single large piece or 2-3 chunks. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Fill a large pot with water and bring to boil. Add suadero, halved onion, garlic, salt, and peppercorns.
Step 3
Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until beef is very tender and cooked through.
Step 4
Remove beef from broth and let cool slightly. Shred or chop into bite-sized pieces with two forks or your hands.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shredded beef and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges become crispy and browned.
Step 6
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or over a flame for 30 seconds per side until pliable.

Fill each tortilla with 2-3 tablespoons of crispy suadero. Top with diced onion and cilantro.
