Serve in bowls and pair with whatever you like. Enjoy!

You can use pork in place of beef.
Use any cut of meat that has fat to keep the stew from drying up.
For a complete meal, pair this stew with chopped avocado, chopped green onion, tortilla chips, sour cream to taste, shredded or Cotija cheese and lime wedges.

When my kids were little, they loved this stew. Sometimes I made it with chicken or turkey, other times with pork or beef, and I always had a vegetable version for my daughter. For the vegetarian version, I loaded up on the chopped vegetables and it turned it so delicious everyone loved it as much as the meat versions. Personally, I like this dish more soupy than stew-like. Sometimes I add rice, but I always pair it with tortilla chips, avocado and chopped onion. And of course, seconds are a must. Enjoy!
