A simple southwestern-inspired ground beef dish, can be used as a filler for tacos, or eaten with beans and rice. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon oil |
1 large onion, diced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 1/2 lbs ground beef |
1/2 cup medium-dry sherry |
2 green bell peppers, chopped |
1 (7 ounce) can chipotle chiles in adobo |
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/3 teaspoon dried cilantro |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Note: This will make a pretty spicy dish. If you think you can handle the heat, use the entire can of Chipotles. If not, leave out a pepper or two.
2. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, and saute, approximately 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cumin, and continue to saute for another minute or two, until fragrant.
3. Crumble ground beef into skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until meat loses its pink color, 5-10 minutes.
4. Add sherry, stir well, scraping the bottom for any browned bits.
5. Add can of chipotles with sauce. Stir well, breaking up the chipotles with a spatula.
6. Add green peppers, can of tomatoes, and all other ingredients (basil, cilantro, salt). Stir well, and simmer until liquid is reduced by a third.
7. Serve with beans and rice, or use as a filler for tacos.
