  12. Brown all the meat, the more fond, the better. Leave out the bell (green) pepper and oregano, and chop a couple poblano peppers up instead; I add a jalapeno. Add at least one more tablespoon of cumin, if not two. Use beef broth, not chicken broth; it's a Texas-Mexican beef stew. Make your own tortillas; it's easy. James, in Texas, and in the middle of Tex-Mex country. 😎

  13. Forget the potatoes, lime, and corriander, never had this with them in 20 years of loving this dish. Add 1 roasted and chopped jalapeno and use half of the bell peppers and replace them with pobalano peppers. Now you're talking real Tex-Mex.

  15. I make this all the time and only use potato as a thickener. No chicken broth only add water if needed. I have a Resturant recipe that people stand in line for. You have to many spice. Only need salt pepper garlic and cumin. Beef onion celery and potato. I would put Spanish rice on tortilla and put meat on top.

  21. Imma born and bread Texan. West Texas to be exact. I had a Carne Guisada from my favorite taqueria down the road from me just this morning for breakfast. But I have never and I mean ever had potatoes and bell peppers in my Carne Guisada. And I’ve had 100’s of burritos from all over Texas. Also. Your tortilla choice was no bueno. You need a much thicker tortilla as to make sure and hold all the meat and gravy.

  23. I wish dear our Julia would not touch raw beef with her bare hands. Odd, I know. But I fear blood-borne illness. I wear gloves when handling any raw meat…especially chicken. And I wash my hands every time they come into contact with an eggshell. Better safe… 💥💥💥

  30. While I respect the effort that is more a stew that that it intended to be. I am a
    South Texans and we keep a bit more simple meat boiling or braised till tender in a sauce. I meat the meat till tender then meat to a make a amazing sauce then add meat back in. I will take from. The idea of adding big vegetables to flavor the broth with cooking and then rice them afterwords.

  31. In the Texas Hill Country it is more common to use a poblano pepper or two instead of bell pepper.

    But I'm sure it is delicious (if milder) with bell pepper if you are unable to find poblanos.
