INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1/2 tablespoon shortening
  • 1 1/2 pounds cubed stew meat
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
  • 2 fresh jalapeno chile peppers, seeded and diced
  • 2 chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • water as needed

DIRECTIONS

  1. Melt the shortening in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add the meat and brown well on all sides. Add the onions and saute for 5 minutes, or until tender. Add the canned tomatoes, jalapeno chile peppers, fresh tomatoes, cumin, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
