Need a recipe for Mexican Molcajete?

I had it in Guadalajara. It consists of a tomato base, beef, chicken and or seafood. Cactus, onion, the meat, jalapeños and topped with queso fresco. Yummy.

Update:

I found these recipes on the net, was hoping for a homegrown recipe.

While a molcajete is a stone bowl to grind up salsas or guac, it is also a dish served in some Mexican restaurants.

    2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

    8 ounces beef, such as flank steak, cut into strips

    1 slice thick-cut meaty bacon

    1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

    3 cups boiling water

    2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules

    1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules

    15 ounces tomato sauce

    16 ounces small mushrooms, cut in halves

    1/2 cup chopped fresh sweet onions

    2 teaspoons minced roasted garlic

    1 tablespoon dried ancho chile powder

    1 teaspoon cumin

    1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder

    1/4 teaspoon cider vinegar

    1 teaspoon dry sherry

    1/4 teaspoon butter

    1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce or your favorite hot sauce, to taste

    salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    grated monterey jack cheese, for garnish

    chopped scallions, for garnish

    chopped jalapenos, for garnish (optional)

    1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and cut into slices, for garnish

    Fry the bacon in a large skillet until crispy; remove from pan, reserving drippings, cut into small pieces, and set aside.

    Add the oil to the bacon drippings over medium temperature, then sauté the chicken and beef strips until browned, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes.

    In another large saucepan over medium heat, stir together the boiling water and bouillon granules until dissolved.

    Add remaining ingredients (including reserved bacon) and the cooked meat strips, and simmer for 10 minutes.

    Garnish, serve, and enjoy!

    Note: to make the seafood version of Azteca's Molcajete, omit the chicken/beef and instead have 1/2 pound shelled and deveined shrimp, 1/2 pound scallops, and as much skinned and deboned whitefish fillet pieces as you'd like (about 1/4 pound or more) which you will add in during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

    If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU7BT

    The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
