Ingredients
 

  • Olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 yellow onion (chopped)
  • 3 cups shredded barbacoa beef
  • 1 lb baby red potatoes (quartered)
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes and their juices
  • 3 cups broth from barbacoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn
  • Chopped avocado, cilantro, and lime, for serving

Instructions

  • Coat a dutch oven or other heavy bottomed pot with oil and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, barbacoa, and diced tomatoes with their juices, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in broth and water. Bring to a boil and boil until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 15-20 minutes, stirring in the corn for the last 5 minutes.
  • Serve the stew with avocado, cilantro, and lime.

Notes

  • Leftover stew keeps well in the fridge for 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating on the stovetop or in the microwave.
