This is a great recipe that will feed lots of people and it’s great for left-overs.

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds of lean ground beef
• 3 diced carrots
• 2 diced potatoes
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• Cumin (to taste)
• 1 chipotle finely chopped (or to taste)
• 1/2 cup of tomato puree
• Salt and Pepper

Process:

In a big pot or pan saute half of the onions until translucent, add the beef, salt pepper and chopped chipotle. Cook the meat until it’s not pink any more making sure you stir often so it doesn’t clump. In a different pan saute the other half of onions until translucent add the carrots and potatoes. Cook until soft but not mushy, mix the meat and veggie mix in the bigger pot, add the tomato puree, cumin and adjust seasoning. On medium low heat cook a bit longer to integrate the flavors. Serve with a big stack of hot CORN tortillas.

You can also serve refried beans and freshly made green salsa (or from a jar… but not as good).

Notes:

The easiest way to get some quick and good refried beans is to buy a can of traditional refried beans or black beans, add them to a pan with a little bit of butter and add grated cheese and cumin to them. A little chipotle juice will add some punch too. It will make regular canned beans very good.
