Being away from my home state(Texas), I tend to crave some good ol' tex mex!
Since I can not go to a local restaurant.. I have learned to make it on my own!
Do you like the chain of restaurant called Chipolte? Well, this recipe will serve 4 for about the price that you would pay for 1 meal at chipolte and it is amazing delicious!
For the Carne Guisada:
Take 2 tblspns. of oil
2 lbs. of chuck roast
2 tblspns. flour
3 ribs of celery, chopped
1 med. onion chopped
2 (or more) fresh jalapenos, chopped
2 cups of beef stock(1 can)
1 tblspn. ketchup
2 tspns ground cumin
1 tspn. whole cumin seeds
1/2 tspn chili powder
I heated the oil in a dutch oven(or you could use a big pot), While that was heating, take the ground chuck, cut into bite size pieces and place into a large ziploc bag along with the flour.Then do what you do when you have shake and bake(lol). Shake the bag until all of the meat is coated. then place in the pot and brown the meat. While the meat is browning, chop up the the celery, onion and jalapnos. Add the vegetables along with the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for about 2 1/2 hours(or until the meat begins to fall apart) and the sauce is thick. And waaalllaaaahhh! Carne Guisada!
To make the burritos:
I added beans, rice, and cheese to the carne guisada.
For a very easy bean recipe...
I took a can of pinto beans and rinsed.
cut up 2 fresh jalapenos(optional)
Placed the jalapenos in a pan with about 1/2 tsp. of oil and cooked until tender(about 5 min.) you could also just use the pickled kind in a jar(then there is no need to cook ahead)
add the rinsed pinto beans along with 1/4 cup of water and 2 teaspoons of garlic(or to your liking)
allow to warm(about 5 min)
Take a large tortilla(I used a healthy spinach version), add your cheese, carne guisada, beans, rice and salsa!
Wallllaaaahhhhh Happy Tex mex y'all!
