aka: cachete, cabeza, taco de cabeza, tacos de cachete, beef cheek, barbacoa de cachete, cachetes de res

pairs-with: corn-tortillas, salsa-verde

slack: forgiving — the silverskin comes off before the pot goes on, because nothing in the oven will render it and it stays as gristle

washing-up: the Dutch oven

keeps: 4 days — the cheeks only soften further and the broth sets to a jelly you spoon straight back in

step: shred coarse, salt
