Ox cheek tacos de suadero recipe Save Save Succulent ox cheek and chorizo are cooked in goose fat then served with corn tortillas Credit: Robert Billington and Adam Wiseman Follow Tacos de suadero are an institution in Mexico City. The name suadero comes from a particularly tasty cut of beef located along the ribs that becomes meltingly soft when slowly cooked â but it is by no means the only meat that makes a taco de suadero so irresistible. Beef tripe, ox tongue, longaniza (the Mexican chorizo) or pigsâ ears all join the suadero to be cooked into a confit in fat and cooking juices for hours in a special cooking pot called a choricera. I tried to keep this recipe simple, using only ox cheeks and chorizo, but you would make me very happy if you dropped in some tripe, ox tongue or a few pigsâ ears.
