Guidelines

Guised Carne

Sear the meat.

• Heat the vegetable oil in a big pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. In batches, add the meat cubes and brown them all over. Take out and place aside.

Cooked Vegetables:

• Add the chopped bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the same saucepan. The onion should be sautéed until transparent.

Mix the ingredients together:

• Stir in the browned beef, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and beef broth. Mix thoroughly to blend.

Reduce:

• After bringing to a boil, turn down the heat. Once the beef is cooked, simmer it covered for one and a half to two hours. If necessary, stir occasionally and add additional broth. To taste, add salt and pepper for seasoning.

Tortillas made of flour

Combine the dry ingredients:

• Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

Include Fat:

• Add the shortening or lard and cut until the mixture is the consistency of coarse crumbs.

Incorporate Water:

• Add the warm water gradually and stir until a dough forms. Work the dough for two to three minutes on a floured surface, or until it is smooth.

Remain in the Dough:

• The dough should rest for around thirty minutes after being covered with a cloth.

Serve Tortillas:

• Cut the dough into ten or twelve equal pieces. Form each portion into a ball and use a rolling pin to flatten it into thin rings.

Prepare the tortillas:

• A skillet or griddle should be heated to medium-high heat. Each tortilla should be cooked through and gently browned after 30 to 60 seconds on each side. Wear a towel to stay warm.

Assist

• Serve the warm flour tortillas alongside the steaming carne guised. You may eat it just the way it is or turn it into tacos and top them with cheese, avocado, and cilantro, for example. Savor your food!
