    This is a really tasty and easy dinner! It's a thick stew-like beef mixture with Mexican flavors. It's really good served with yellow rice and tortillas. I like corn tortillas, but my husband prefers flour.

    Ingredients

    • 1-2 lbs stew meat, trimmed of fat
    • flour- 2-3 tblsp
    • salt
    • pepper
    • olive oil (2-3 tblsp)
    • can of Rotel diced tomatoes & chiles
    • water (I refill the Rotel can to the top)
    • chili powder (couple tblsp- to taste)
    • cumin (1-2 teaspoon)
    • flour (1 tblsp)
    • cornstarch (1 tblsp)
    • water- (1/2 c)
    • package of yellow rice cooked per package directions, if desired
    • tortillas- corn or flour, whichever you prefer

    Directions

    1. Once meat is trimmed of excess fat, sprinkle with flour, salt & pepper.
    2. Heat olive oil in skillet.
    3. Add meat and brown.
    4. When meat is browned, add Rotel tomatoes and water.
    5. Season with chili powder & cumin.
    6. Cover.
    7. Turn heat to low and simmer until meat is tender (about an hour).
    8. Add flour and cornstarch to cold water and mix well.
    9. Turn up heat to medium.
    10. Add water with cornstarch and flour to meat mixture slowly to thicken. Stir constantly to prevent lumps.
    11. Serve with tortillas and yellow rice, if desired.
