Does anybody know how to make "carne Guisada"?
I had some at Taco Cabana that was really good!
Answers: Here's one variation worth a try...
1 1/2 lb. boneless chunk or stew meat, cut into bite size pieces
1/2 c. diced onions
1/4 c. diced bell pepper
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp. oil
1 tbsp. flour
1 c. water
2 to 3 cans whole tomatoes (or 2 to 3 fresh)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. ground cumin
Cook the beef, onion, bell pepper and garlic in the oil until the meat is browned and the onion is tender. Add the flour, stirring to blend it with the pan juices. Add the water, tomatoes, salt, pepper and cumin and simmer, covered for 45 minutes. Serve as a main dish or with flour tortillas. Makes 6 servings. I use this Carne Guisada seasoning and a chuck roast. I buy the seasoning in the Mexican Food aisle (I live in Texas). but it looks like you can order it online.
