Ingredients
  

For the Stew
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups roasted Hatch green chiles peeled and chopped
  • 2 medium potatoes peeled and diced
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and diced
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For Garnish
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • Sour cream optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Roast and peel the Hatch green chiles if not already prepared, then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  3. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves carefully.
  4. Measure out all spices and have the beef broth ready to use.
Cooking
  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
  2. Add diced onions and garlic to the pot and sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped Hatch green chiles, diced potatoes, carrots, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour in the beef broth, bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Add frozen corn kernels during the last 5 minutes of cooking to heat through without losing their texture.
Finishing
  1. Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed. Serve hot garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges, with sour cream on the side if desired.
