Quick Beef Barbacoa Stew

With work and family life, it can sometimes be hard to have a homecooked meal. But this hearty one-pot meal can be prepped and cooked within an hour.

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 40 minutes

Number of People Served: 4-6

Ingredients:

• 1 large tomato, pureed
• 2 cups beef broth
• 6 tablespoons Del Real Foods Fire Roasted Red Salsa
• 1.5 lbs Melissa's Produce Baby Dutch Yellow Potatoes, quartered
• 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1 package Del Real Foods Seasoned Shredded Beef, chopped
• 1 package Del Real Foods Barbacoa, cut into chunks
• 3-4 tablespoons Del Real Foods Friojles Refritos

Optional:

• 1 large green jalapeno, diced
• 1 shallot, diced
• 1 large red jalapeno, diced
• 4-6 tablespoons sour cream

Directions:

1. Puree large tomato in NutriBullet or blender until smooth. Add to pot along with beef broth and salsa. Cover pot and bring to a boil.
2. Quarter potatoes and chop garlic. Add to pot and lower heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Chop up shredded beef and cut up barbacoa into bite-size chunks. Add beef and sauce from barbacoa to pot. Add refried beans to thicken stew (add more if thicker base desired). Uncover and simmer for 15 minutes.
4. To serve, ladle stew into bowls. If desired, add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle diced jalapenos and shallots for added color and flavor.
