  • 1 large garlic clove, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano, dried

How To Make mexican stew

  • Step 1
    Heat oil and brown pork*, onion, and garlic in a Dutch oven, pour off drippings. Drain chilies ~ reserving the liquid ~ add to pork. (*I also have used beef stew meat)
  • Step 2
    Combine oregano, cumin, & salt ~ sprinkle over pork mixture. Mix thoroughly. Add tomatoes & water ~ stir to combine. You can add a tsp of fennel seed if you like the taste.
  • Step 3
    Cover tightly & simmer 1 hour 15 minutes or until pork is tender. I put this meal in a slow cooker and cook on low all day.
  • Step 4
    Combine the cornstarch & reserved chili liquid, gradually stir into stew and cook uncovered until thickened. If using a slow cooker, turn on high and cook to desired consistancy.
  • Step 5
    Garnish with sour cream and green onion. Can be served over corn bread or rice. Enjoy!
